"Some people have been punished over and over all their
lives; so that, they know the reward and punishment system better than anyone. Yet they
continue, as far as I know unsuccessfully, to try and beat the system."

I see you've had a peek at my stock portfolio.

People who seem to want to beat the system all their lives are getting SOME kind of reward- remember some people enjoy pain and punishment. I've seen video on the net of a man whose testicles were being walked on by someone in stilleto heels (Thank you Mr. X for emailing me that video)- and he seemed to be enjoying it. Makes me cringe. Do I understand that? No.

I think you need to remember that for some reason not all humans want to fit in to society no matter what it is like. Perhaps it's a rare genetic expression, or not so rare.
