#edit: good lord people are scared in the notes. please do not get your science information from me on THIS BLOG

i'm a scientist and i went to a talk where they discussed... basically psychosurgery for treating mental illness? putting probes in your brain that make electrical impulses. and those electrical impulses can help manage spikes of anxiety. you get a bluetooth controller for it to manage stuff yourself, but someone else ALSO gets the control--your therapist.

and genuinely, not joking, the tool that your therapist uses to help you with it is just called the master controller.

and to test if it's working? they stimulate it in a way that makes you smile involuntarily.

okay now imagine how i felt like listening to all of that. if you answered "way too horny" you were correct

EDIT:

wow i really need y'all to read up on science before you start making assumptions about stuff LMAO

(putting on a scientist hat) hi everyone. please read about Deep Brain Stimulation, which was approved by the FDA in 2009 and has has 400 surgeries since then with generally positive effects. it's largely cost-prohibitive despite its useful effects for people suffering from treatment-resistant mental illness and if someone wanted to do What You Are Assuming They Would Do then you are unaware of the way that medical treatment and research is currently developed and i think you could maybe look into that instead of fearmongering on a post clearly written on a HORNY BLOG!!!!
