Written by Maximus Peperkamp, M.S. Verbal Behaviorist

Dear Reader, 

 

This writer had a productive weekend: he made holders for the hoses in the front and the back yard, he spread his Sound Verbal Behavior (SVB)message at the Farmer’s Market, he  tilted the soil, cleaned out the garage, went swimming, threw away a bunch of old books and had a very good sleep. Moreover, these activities got him approval from his wife, with whom he went on an early morning hike. 

On top of all that, this writer booked another free seminar at the Chico Branch Library of Butte County on Sunday, November 30, for which he produced a well-written invitation. This writer’s language has much improved. It will be the last time he uses the Library’s Public Room, because after that, in the new-year, he intends to organize his seminars on a bi-weekly basis at his own home.

  

The cleaning out of the garage made enough room to comfortably sit there. He will  use this new space to work on making and scoring quizzes. The books he hasn’t thrown away are now nicely put on shelves. It is a pleasant feeling to have access to the old stuff, which previously was sitting in boxes. He has many old journals and sometimes reads in them. How things are now, is explained by his writings from many years ago. 

After professor Ledoux will retire, Behaviorology most likely will not be represented academically anymore. This writer feels strengthened in spreading the natural science of human behavior, viva voce, the way it was, according to him, supposed to be spread, by word of mouth. SVB explains why Behaviorology was not accepted: we need to become scientific about the way in which we talk. Unfortunately, Ledoux is not open to this and declined this writer's invitation to explore this with him.

It is amazing how knowledge at some point of time is available, but at another point of time seems to have completely vanished. This happens at an individual as well as at a societal level. People get drunk and then they sober up and find that reality is still there waiting to be acknowledged. Although our sciences have spurred great innovations, they didn’t improve our human relationships. The reason for this is simple and straight forward: we didn’t apply science to how we communicate. Only in SVB do the communicators verify if what they say makes sense to others.
