5HC : Skinner, Turing (fwd)

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

As I've gotten older, I've noticed more and more that I read my own motivations into
other people's actions.  Not that I *do* it more and more, just that I've noticed
how much I do it, because it's very difficult not to when you haven't been exposed
to alternate motivations.  Would it then be a mistake for me to read that reading of
my own actions into your reading of other people's motivation for happiness?
