No offence (I like most of your post), but BF Skinner was not a psycho. He was an amazing scientist and researcher. You should really read some of his books before you judge him (Beyond Freedom and Dignity is very good, and short). Skinner was totally wrong on language, yes, but he was right on a lot of other things. He essentially invented operant conditioning, which is the basis for slot machines and much of modern gamification. In addition, he's responisble for such signs as "thank you for not smoking" (that was in Beyond Freedom).

To summate, he was an extremely interesting thinker and a fine researcher (and really loved pigeons). His theories were wrong, but all theories tend towards wrong in the limit.
