Sup,

I would never say "always", but I'm fully confident that my statement is more true than not. Go back a hundred years and look at what the average Joe had to do to simply survive. We don't even come close to half that kind of dedication or exertion now days. Why? Because we don't have to! It's really that simple.

Take a class of kids, tell em you want a 500+ word essay on slavery due tomorrow. How many will trun in 700+ word essays? Would you have gotten more if you demanded 700+ words from the get go? Duh...

Now I realize these lowered "demands" are much more subtle in adult life, but they exist just the same. When I show up for work and my boss has no stake or interest in my production I can assure you it will be lower than if he/she did.

It's not just fear, it's simple reinforcement. Positive/negative, I don't care, but without either you get less. This is not my "opinion", this is fact and I am in awe that I have to explain it. Are there exceptions? Sure big whup.

Oh yea, Your mother was a hamster and your father smells of elderberries.
