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.

2018-08-17 17:10:56 +0000 UTCI'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>
