Hello Eric! This is Jennifer Harris. We went to SIU together. You were the head teaching assistant my first year at SIU in 1987-88. You taught me the phrase, "aint no thang, but a chicken wang." I am using your video in my Introduction to Psychology. Thank you so much.
Lol your description of vision corneas and rods and cones and all of that crap is the most constructed derived and nonspontaneous thing ever. That is the total opposite of a sensation.
Wilhelm Wundt was a sick individual. A philosopher who steadfastly believed human beings were only the sum of their own experiences. He believed they were something that needed to be pushed because they had no ambition of their own without reward. He believed the methods used to train animals far exceeded the success of teaching of academics. He believed humans learned more rapidly using punishment/reward system. He would have had a great admirer in Hitler.
the pleasure and pain principle permeates all of human behavior. even our spiritual devotion is based on the pleasure of serving ones faith. Christianity is a pain/reward philosophy. follow the bible and go to heaven or do as you please and burn in hell. Literally every thing we do is based on pleasure and pain. Benjamin franklin believed this too.
If by pleasure and pain you refer merely to physical feelings, obviously lots of people would disagree that everything is just based on pleasure and pain. Many seeks non-physical forms of fulfillment.
@@cliffvecera4715 That dynamic in religion just show what they're really about. And essentially it's control. Wether the pain & pleasure dynamic is a good thing varies in what situation. And in this case with Wilhelm wundt it's rather degrading to see humans as just that and base it all on that.
