Tough post, but I agree that results shape behavior. As a child and a teen it was clear that positive and negative reinforcement shaped our behavior. Good kids usually had moms and dads shaping their behavior.
As we go through life it’s no different, although we like to pretend altruism and innate evil character shapes behavior, but I think those are outliers, they exist, but they are exceptions. Most of us respond to to positive and negative reinforcement. I often viewed the passion here against BidBots with a dispassionate response because I felt the system encouraged the behavior that many said they abhorred.
To me it’s like Dan Latimer is rumored to have said. Create a society where the behavior you want to see is rewarded and you see more of it. So it logically follows that the converse is true. So there are no mysteries here only denial.

A funny and relatively consistent component of very successful people is that they had one parent that they felt loved them unconditionally, and another they felt they had to impress. Not sure if that is a good way to aim to parent, but when it comes to "opposites attract" for relationships, perhaps it is relatively common that parental personalities are opposed, often including the approach to parenting.
I spent a long time fighting against them, then I spent an even longer time undermining their value proposition :)
It is a variant of the golden rule.
Interesting replies, but this one has my wheels turning :
I am wondering is it: “ He who has the gold makes the rules.” 😂🤣 or this
“Do unto others as you would have them do unto you”.

:D I meant the second, but I guess when it comes to Dan Larimer, he might have used the first :P
