Just thinking about it terrifies, exhausts, and discourages me. It's such an awful thing for humans to do to other humans, but there's no obvious way to put a stop to it, or even to persuade those who support it. I'm glad you have the fortitude to try though, Olly, you're very much a role model for me in resisting snark and fatalism and actually trying to change minds and improve the world.

I'm loving this video about solitary and the mind. Olly and patrons, y'all should check out this Atlantic article, and the study it links to! It proposes a very interesting theory of mind. Hope you enjoy it as much as I do! <a href="https://www.theatlantic.com/science/archive/2016/04/the-illusion-of-reality/479559/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.theatlantic.com/science/archive/2016/04/the-illusion-of-reality/479559/</a>
