We are not only becoming techno zombies in this society, but now, people are lining up willingly to pay $200 to get their own shock collar bracelet that will help them “retrain” their behaviors with a few (hundred) painful zap treatments (oh, and mild vibrations). It’s even actually called the The Pavlok, named after you guessed it, Ivan Pavlov, the Russian physiologist who came up with Pavlovian conditioning.
The aversion (shock) will program a person to avoid whatever bad habit they are being trained against, and the company claims it works in five days or less to “delete temptation” by associating a zap with a person’s bad habit, training their brain to dislike said habit. No, they don’t know what the long-term effects to wearing the Pavlok are, but the local news station below calls it “340 Volts of Wearable Willpower”.
Can you imagine what would happen if parents start putting these on their children? Would CPS step in?
By the way, the TSA has already discussed putting taser bracelets on passengers, you know, because terrorism.
Oh, and the Pavlok can be programmed to be triggered by sensors, apps, manually… and via remote control.
Apparently it “hurts like a b*tch” — with shocks from 50 volts up to 450 (getting stung by a giant bee).

Self Control gone with the wind. You know, like Common Sense.
It has been said that zero tolerance breeds zero intelligence, is this an offshoot of that?
We now live in a world of zero tolerance of politically incorrect thoughts and deeds, and almost zero thinking.
Too bad we can’t ramp that sucker by 100X and put it on politicians. It gets triggered when they violate the Constitution.
