I pasted in some questions into your conversation with Paula. Here's what I put: Some questions: 1. Should you distrust your superiors when they give you negative feedback when perhaps they should be giving you positive feedback? 2. Is the success of the individual irrelevant when it may just be a matter of random chance? 3. Is trying to use psychology to convince somebody to behave in a certain way a fool's errand? I think the prison one would be more interesting and accessible in general. I'll try to pursue that further.
