It was a general question to the thread, because it had focused on Freud as a way of claiming psychology isn't science. Skinner had been ignored in those posts, including yours. I didn't say you said he should be ignored. Stop making things up.

I'm imagining a future where a scan of a person's brain can predict behavior. Scientists construct a model of the person, run simulations, and predict behaviors. That could have good consequences for society but bad consequences for individuals. Say, in the case of a person predicted to be a murderer.
