Measure Rat Motivation by How Hard They Pull on on the Spring

You can measure rat motivation by how hard they pull on the spring, let's say. They're more motivated if they're running away and running towards but let's go back to play. A play deprived juvenile rat will fight harder to play than a non play deprived juvenile rat. And so you can infer that the rat wants to go play. You do the same measurement with everyone around you. If there's something you want, you need about five arguments about why you want it. Because the probability that the person who's opposing you will have five arguments for why you shouldn't have it is very low....
