Is it possible to manipulate your brain to like doing hard things by eating candy after each small success?

We already do this in life. For example, if you work harder in your job, you get a raise or some other reward. If you work hard for your business, your business is more likely to succeed. If you study more, you get better grades. Etc

Yes. My psychology prof said the same thing but with cookies.
She also said the success of this method comes by having the discipline to not indulge and just take one cookie when you finish a task.

Though, she also talked about how gambling can be addicting in that lesson.
She talked about a study where they got rats to either press a button that randomly dispenses treats or one that does it regularly, and the rats always got addicted to the random button.
So, maybe if you get to randomly get a treat whenever you do hard work it would work better? Idk though.

I bet you could make a decent amount of money selling something like that to SOIencefags.

I always wondered why white people love sugar. Didn't know it was genetic.

What could be the purpose of this trait surviving in whites?
My guess is that fruits and other sugary foods are not as abundant in Europe?

Sure. I still hop in a circle clockwise every time I see a Snickers bar.

I compiled and reported our employee performance metrics from data on my company's SQL server, showing unequivocally that I was outperforming every employee in my department for production rates, lowered rework rates, shorter time to completion of a job, and had done so in the course of 6 months where 30 year employees with the next highest rates and triple my salary were producing at 60% my capacity. I was denied a salary increase with no negotiation made available, so I promptly left.. They kept reaching out to me for information on how to upkeep our interface of which I ignored. I emailed them once that I could simply return for the position title change and corresponding salary, and they reply that they cannot do so at this time. Let the world burn.

Do this, but with fapping instead for maximum returns/health benefits.

I go lift weights and then come back and fap (not to 3dpd of course) to reinforce my lifting. It works. I am getting gainz faster than steroid users.
