Bureaucratic systems tend to become violent.
This afternoon I received an e-mail from A.J. Marr of New Orleans. He, or she, had read our site, with a particular interest in intrinsic versus extrinsic motivation. On this topic I've tended to follow learning theory I studied in the 70s, Alfie Kohn , and lately a healthy reading of John Lear's Open Minded . A.J. Marr has objected that I need rather drastically to update my learning theory to include the bio-psychological advances in studying the mind. Now, I'm not going to get to all this in the next two weeks.
