I have heard a rumour that the same people who have ordered me not to confront anyone on the psychiatric hospital staff also told that staff not to talk about "It" nor admit to anything. It is further rumoured that this decision came right from the top.

The real problem is what to do with the problem solvers after the problem is solved.

The danger of the past was that men became slaves. The danger of the future is that men may become robots.
Erich Fromm, (Psychiatrist)
