I just finished Brave New World. Pretty great!
As World Controller, what are some ways you'd like to utilize Pavlovian conditioning on toddlers? Personally, I think I'd do the trick they did in the book where they had toddlers touch books and get shocked and have alarm bells ring and all kinds of other unpleasant stuff, but do it with guns instead. Imagine how much more safe our kiddos would be.
I've taken "kiddos" shooting. 5 year olds can shoot ARs from a bench. Holographic sights are fascinating for kids. 10/22s are more practical for them but they somehow inherently understand that the AR is cooler. I sure am glad no one electroshocked my kids to make them unthinkingly hate and fear my guns. Conditioning them to be ruled by those lacking such conditioning, like in the novel.
Thinking about this: let's instead electroshock toddlers after explaining gun control to them so they'll cringe whenever someone advocates for it. Then we'll be safe from the gun grabbers seeking to disarm us. That's the safety I look forward to for my children.
Or if we're actually concerned about toddler welfare condition them to not run into traffic or play in pools by themselves. Go after the things that kill them orders of magnitude more than playing with guns.
It was a dumb idea, but some of the best posts on this site are replies to dumb posts. I'm a big help!
If you don't have a holographic sight on the 10/22, I imagine that would make the AR better anyhow. It's not like the recoil on the AR is hugely impactful.
