Your mention of the idea of DoSing someone's brain reminds me of Ewen Cameron's experiments attempting to "depattern" people. (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/

Rather horrifying.
- danieltillett 11y agoCameron's "experiments" (torture) seemed to revolve more around sensory depravation and electric shock therapy (one of the major side effects of electro-shock is serious memory loss). This does bring up an idea I had from years ago where instead of making prisons as boring as possible we make them amazingly interesting places where the prisoners have to use their brains constantly all day. The idea being that all this information will slowly push out the ideas and thoughts of the old person to be replaced with a new ideas and memories that make the person less likely to commit crime once released. The person should come out of prison a better person than they went in.
