> Mental health professionals say the narrative has taken hold among a group of people experiencing psychotic symptoms that have troubled the human mind since time immemorial. Except now victims are connecting on the internet, organizing and defying medical explanations for what’s happening to them.
I think that paragraph has implications far beyond just the paranoia described...

- studentrob 10y ago> Rokeach added a comment in the final revision of the book that, while the experiment did not cure any of the three Christs, "It did cure me of my godlike delusion that I could manipulate them out of their beliefs." LOL alright, well, it seems the people in the article/video are asking for help. They similarly would be unreasonable to demand that someone give them help in a specific way. Beggers can't be choosers.
