1 thing I learned in my Psych 101 paper, is that behaviorism has been thoroughly debunked as a theory of social behaviour in the decades since Skinner.

Behaviorists collected some good data. But as with game theory, you have to massively simplify social reality to make it fit the theory. Which makes conclusions based on it theoretically interesting (sometimes), but practically useless.
