I am so sick and tired of people thinking that just because they call it a "protest" that they have the right to destroy things that belong to someone else. Throw the book at them! Make them reimburse everyone for every penny's worth that was damaged and make them spend the time cleaning up the mess and let them spend their nights in a jail cell until they do. Or another option is to let the people that they harmed destroy stuff that belongs to them at a ratio of ten to one. You can call it a "protest against self-absorbed protesters".

In the late 1980s, a 19-year-old man known as George was suffering from an extreme form of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). His condition dominated daily life—compulsive hand-washing hundreds of times a day and repeated showers left him unable to function normally. Conventional treatments had failed to bring relief.
After a suicide attempt involving a .22-caliber rifle, George survived with a bullet lodged in his left frontal lobe. Surgeons were unable to remove all of the fragments, but the outcome that followed was extraordinary. Within just three weeks, his obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviors had nearly vanished. Over the next five years, he rebuilt his life—maintaining steady employment and excelling academically as a top college student.
His psychiatrist, Dr. Laszlo Solyom, observed that the injury appeared to disrupt a specific brain region involved in OCD while sparing broader cognitive abilities. Today, the case is cited as an exceptionally rare and accidental example of how altering precise neural pathways can dramatically affect mental illness.
This was never a treatment—nor a safe one—but the case continues to inform modern neuropsychiatry. It underscores how much scientists still have to learn about the brain, and how tightly mental health conditions are linked to distinct neural networks.

Only recently described by science, the mysterious mushrooms are found in different parts of the world, but they give people the same exact visions.

There is a part of the brain designed to BLOCK our perception of these creatures, and the mushroom disables it.

It's a thought experiment.Now you're pulling my leg ...
It's like putting on special light detecting glasses. What's more likely? The beam is an artifact of the lens interaction with the eyes and brain or the lens detects the existing beam.
