I wondered given the subject matter (and I agree with pretty much all of this present conversation) if folks might find this interesting. I’ve only read the abstract as it is quite long but a subject of great interest to me so I downloaded the paper. It will be a couple of days before I can read all of it. Just in case others have an interest: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/264341200_Implanted_Choice_From_Prisoners_of_War_to_Patty_Hearst_to_Lee_Boyd_Malvo_Examining_the_Past_to_Determine_if_there_is_Room_for_a_Modern_Criminal_Defence_of_Brainwashing

I’m so glad you found that it might be interesting Kasumii. I always love your comments. The Patty Hearst/SLA bank robbery happened when I was young and impressionable and jump started a life long fascination with our human mind. The paper references lots of other sources, so it’s something that will take me awhile to work my way through. My hope is that we will see a day before we destroy earth that we figure out how to prevent genocide at the hands of murderous demagogues empowered by their followers. Neuroscience will light the path.

Thank you for the compliment Christy. I appreciate that.

It will take me a few days to read the article & then let it all percolate - it definitely looks interesting.
