Lol comparing literal pavlovian training with getting a birthday present. You are either arguing very dishonestly or you just don't understand the concept of manipulation at all lol.

Also ignoring the fact that in your example of cupcakes they actually talked about noticing how you felt and the reason why they gave you the cupcake. You get that right? You get how a dog can't do those things right? Dogs can't talk.

I get you're trying your hardest, and I'm sure you are. Some people just can't grasp basic logic, it's a real problem these days. I tried to explain it multiple different way, but you can't make someone understand something, sometimes you just gotta give up and move on.

But that's... what she's doing! That's what the m&m's are for!

Pavlovian conditioning doesn't just happen in a lab, dude. When your phone buzzes and you get that pang of excitement that someone may have just messaged you, that's conditioning! Your phone has nefariously manipulated you into being excited at random times, at its sole discretion, and for what might be, like, a pizza ad or something.
