He truly loved big brother. Yeah, I hadn't the bravery to include that, as I didn't want my response to seem so reactionary, but that really is what it is. Really the only difference is that in the book, he is coerced to perform the mental gymnastics through suffering, but if we could just restrain someone and zap them.... That's awful. I'm glad others agree that this is at least controversial. The political landscape (at least here in America, my own perspective) the idea of offensive is seemingly headed down a path where people will want to bar themselves from experiencing anything offensive. When you get on the subway and the guy next to you has odor, doesn't it make you appreciate your apartment even more? Healthy dealings with unhealthy thoughts generally leads to healthy thoughts. Carl Rogers pioneered Humanist Psychology like fifty years ago, and he talked about that. Idk if he used the term self-talk, but that's what we call it now. I think most neurodivergent people, particularly the criminally oriented ones, they have a dialogue imbalance, not a chemical imbalance. They are having the wrong conversations with themselves. Anyways, the world is crazy.
