She walks in slowly, writes COMPLIANCE and OBEDIENCE on the board, and then pulls a chair out an sits.

All right, gang. Sorry about yesterday...now we're behind. Let's go.

We were talking about the difference between obedience and compliance...or if they are the same. We've brought moral codes into this discussion, thanks to Jack, as well as conditioned behavior.

Because of my personal life lately, I'd like to step away from your comfort zones and let's talk about "trusted professionals"...with the exception of me-your-teacher...why might you obey a person in authority such as a doctor, a lawyer, law enforcement, a scientist, a boss...what do all these positions have in common? Let's explore.

Jack comes in late with his arm in a sling. He takes a seat and listens until it's his turn. He's waiting for the meds he spent a hlaf an hour looking for to kick-in.

"You should usually obey a doctor because if they kill you you can't come back and spend more money on them. Lawyers want to win because they're lawyers and the more wins you have the more money you can make. Law enforcement can shoot you or put you in jail, scientists... usually know what they're saying. So when someone says not to spit in the temple you probably shouldn't. You're boss? Can have you courtmarshelled/fake deaded. Well there are a bunch of reasons. Including that whoe pesky firing thing.

*Looks at him, horrified, but says nothing*

So yesterday you said obedience had to do with conditioning and morals, and today you're saying disobedience is tied to money? What is money?
