The urge to scold seems pretty innate, and socially reinforced from an early age. Seems tied to the parental instinct, and maybe this is related to the demographics of its presentation.

Could we not engineer a substitute, or even a better scolding experience for these scolds, a safe outlet? One without the obvious detrimental impacts, or at least one that tends toward self-limiting. A lot of contemporary tech and even older stuff probably could be used to satisfy the scolding urge.
