To Say That... Behaviors Have Different 'meanings'

The Simplest And Most Satisfactory View Is That Thought Is Simply Behavior - Verbal Or Nonverbal, Covert Or Overt. It Is Not Some Mysterious Process Responsible For Behavior But The Very Behavior Itself In All The Complexity Of Its Controlling Relations.

But Restraint Is The Only One Sort Of Control, And Absence Of Restraint Isn't Freedom. It's Not Control That's Lacking When One Feels 'free', But The Objectionable Control Of Force.

In The Traditional View, A Person Is Free. He Is Autonomous In The Sense That His Behavior Is Uncaused. He Can Therefore Be Held Responsible For What He Does And Justly Punished If He Offends. That View, Together With Its Associated Practices, Must Be Re-examined When A Scientific Analysis Reveals Unsuspected Controlling Relations Between Behavior And Environment.

If Freedom Is A Requisite For Human Happiness, Then All That’s Necessary Is To Provide The Illusion Of Freedom.

We Are Only Just Beginning To Understand The Power Of Love Because We Are Just Beginning To Understand The Weakness Of Force And Aggression.
