www.knowledgedrivenrevolution.com/Articles/200612/20061204_Ghost_In_The_Machine.htm"According to Koestler and his ilk, the solution to this problem is to force the further evolution of man using chemicals to reduce the effects of the primitive or emotional portions of the brain. A kind of chemical lobotomy / fixer-upper. "This, of course, would also have the added benefit of destroying the individuality of the people exposed to this "increased suggestibility". To Koestler’s credit he does disagree with the implementation recommended in the quote by Hyden. He believes that it will be accepted with open arms by the public like “the pill”, anti-depressants and other such drugs." www.strike-the-root.com/cgi-local/yabb/YaBB.pl?board=news;action=display;num=1165279551"Below are a couple of passages quoted by Arthur Koestler in The Ghost in the Machine published in 1967: “Here at our disposal, to be used wisely or unwisely, is an increasing array of agents that manipulate human beings… It is now possible to act directly on the individual to modify his behaviour instead of, as in the past, indirectly through modification of the environment.” – Dean Saunders, of the San Francisco Medical School, at the Control of the Mind symposium (1961).*" Do I hear Pink Floyd singing: "Welcome to the Machine?"

Speaking of Pink Floyd, how about the line from Hey You - "and the worms ate into his brain"
I wonder if those guys had Morgellons way back then !?
