In Pentagons Brain by Annie Jacobsen, she discusses Allen Macy Dulles, son of former CIA director Allen Welsh Dulles. Allen Macy Dulles suffered a traumatic brain injury during the Korean War and can only remember technology previous to 1952. This is basically how people treat schizophrenia. They ignore technological developments in the public domain over the past 100 years. In the Chapter titled Brain Wars, which is where Jacobsen interviews Allen Macy Dulles, she discusses how DARPA ostensibly is trying to find ways to deal with Mental Illness and traumatic brain injuries for soldiers, but that, typically, DARPA has other non stated objectives when they develop various technologies. I thought it was kind of a non stated implication or nudge for Jacobsen to include her description of Dulles as not remembering anything beyond 1952 technology while discussing Mental illness in adjacent commentary in the chapter. Kind of like she was laying out the method or modus operandi for the system or psychiatry and society at large.
