- aliencat 4y agoVery interesting idea! I think I've heard something like this before on giving reward randomly yielding to addictive behaviours, like gambling. Do you have any recommended reference on this idea?

Including the forbidden lecture if you can find it (lets just say it ruffles some feathers by noting some commonalities between OCD and spiritual ritualistic behavior).
