Episode 9: Project Pigeon (Project ORCON)

BIRDS AREN'T REAL! Okay but actually...birds are government drones. Or, at least, they almost were at one point in history. This week, Rachel tells Lauren about how psychologist B.F. Skinner worked to make pigeons into bomb pilots during World War II. 2 things to remember: (1) Write a review of HYPERFOCUS and get a free sticker! AND(2) The birds work for the bourgeoisie.Sources:https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smithsonian-institution/bf-skinners-pigeon-guided-rocket-53443995/https://www.bfskinner.org/project-pigeon/https://www.technologyreview.com/2019/10/24/238466/pigeon-pilots/Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/hyperfocus/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
