Episode 281: Of cats and cheese

In this episode, I discuss my simplified framework of human
motivation: cats and cheese. Cheese is an anticipated reward
associated with pleasure or fulfillment that we approach; cats
are anticipated punishments associated with pain or loss that we
avoid. If you understand the relative intensity and distribution
of the cats and cheese in a person's perception, then you can
actually predict their behavior fairly accurately at any given
moment in time. Further consequences of this understanding are
duly examined.
