BlackPink: repetition. Lai Yin: installation.
From repetition and drills to Pavlov. BlackPink rehearse until the beat owns them. I install and reward. Hormones do the rest.
London. Wembley.
The lights cut.
Four women step into silence.
Count one. Two. Three. Four.
They move as one.
No talk. No lag.
“Kill This Love.”
Feet hit tape marks.
Hands snap at the same beat.
Hair turns on the same count.
Mics lift at the same breath.
Water placed at the same spot between songs.
In-ear checks by touch.
Stage techs nod once.
Pyro on a count.
Confetti on a cue.
Nothing left to chance.
This is what repetition buys.
Thousands of hours.
Routines that fire without thought.
Bodies that answer the count.
Repetition works.
It is honest.
It is slow.
I use something faster.
I install.
Not on a stage.
At home.
The system
In my house I choreograph too.
But I do not rely on endless repetition.
I use the biology of reward.
This is not metaphor.
Conditioning through climax is measurable.
Neuroscience maps it:
- Dopamine drives motivation and pursuit (Berridge & Robinson, 1998).
- Oxytocin and vasopressin wire social bonds (Young & Wang, 2004).
- Prolactin crashes arousal and locks satiety (Krüger et al., 2002).
Nature is efficient. Nature is boring. I am not.
Orgasm activates the brain’s reward circuits more strongly than cocaine (Wise, 2002). Pair a signal with climax, and the nervous system encodes it deep.
Pavlov
Pavlov showed the path:
Stimulus.
Response.
Reward.
His dogs salivate at the bell.
Humans condition faster and harder when the reward is orgasm, because the neurochemistry behind it is primal.
Functional MRI studies confirm: orgasm floods the nucleus accumbens, amygdala, hypothalamus — the command centres of desire and memory (Komisaruk & Whipple, 2005).
The system is simple:
Signal.
Obedience.
Hormone release.
