Massachusetts experiment

The photograph captures Dr. James Rogers. In 1965, he was sentenced to death in the electric chair for the so-called "Massachusetts experiment", but two days before the execution chamber as he committed suicide by poisoning with potassium cyanide, a vial which earned him one of his patients.





Recently, "University of Massachusetts psychology and nevropatalogii", where he worked Dr. Rogers has officially announced that the experiment is of great scientific value, and its effectiveness is undeniable. In this regard, the rector of the University Dr. Phil Rozentern apologized to the remaining relatives of James. And the thing that Dr. James Rogers used a unique, developed his own technique of curing seemingly hopeless patients. It enhances their paranoia so that a new round of correcting its previous one. In other words, if a person believes that everywhere around the crawling bugs, Dr. Rodgers told him that the way it is. The world is covered with beetles. Some particularly sensitive people see them, others are so accustomed to this that just did not notice them. The government knows everything, but keep it a secret so as to avoid panic. The man went quite sure that he was all right, humbled himself and tried not to notice the bugs. After some time, he often stopped to see them. At trial, he performed one Platnovsky Aaron, who was ill-enfaziynym cognitive disorder. He believed that he giraffe. No logical arguments, nor compare it with the image of a giraffe pictures did not help. He was absolutely sure of it. He stopped talking, refusing to take ordinary food, but leaves. Dr. Rogers asked a biologist friend write a short article in which more or less scientifically describe the stunning recent discovery scientists: in nature there are giraffes, which are virtually indistinguishable from humans. That is the difference there - a little more heart, a little less than the spleen, but also the behavior and appearance, and even the way of thinking quite the same. Scientists do not disclose this information to prevent panic, and this article is to burn anyone who reads it. The patient calmed down and socialize. By the time of trial, he worked as an auditor for a large company in Colorado. Alas, the state court found Dr. Rogers as a charlatan experiment - inhuman. He was sentenced to death. He gave up the last word, but handed the judge a letter, which requested to publish in any newspaper. Letter published "The Massachusetts Daily Collegian". The letter ended with the words: "You are too used to the idea that all see the world the same way. But it is not. If you are thinking together and try to retell each other the most simple and obvious to you the concept, you will realize that all of you live in completely different worlds. And only your comfort determines your mental calmness. In such a case, the person who believes that he giraffe and lives in peace with this knowledge as normal as a person who believes that the grass is green and the sky blue. Some of you believe in UFOs, someone in God, someone in the morning breakfast and cup of coffee. Living in harmony with their faith - you are perfectly healthy, but once you start to defend your point of view - as faith in God will make you kill, the belief in UFOs - afraid of abduction, belief in a cup of coffee in the morning - will be the center of your universe and destroy your life . The physicist begins to cause you to arguments that the sky is not blue, as a biologist proves that the grass is not green. In the end you will be left alone with an empty, cold, and completely unknown to you the world in which our world is likely. So no matter what you ghosts inhabit your world. As long as you believe in them - they exist as long as you do not fight with them - they are not dangerous ".

That's all I wanted to say. From the SE.
