I find John C. Lilly (not the former CEO of Mozilla) highly interesting despite accusations of Dolphin sexual abuse in his experiments. This interest is mostly a result of his outsized impact on science fiction and popular culture from Johnny Mnemonic all the way to Hawaii 5-0. This article addresses what I would describe as MK-ultra adjacent research at NIHM that bring to mind books like Flowers for Algernon as well as recent CIA torture programs designed to induce a state of “Learned helplessness” https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.nytimes.com/2019/12/04/us/p...

This video does a decent job of summarizing his life and work: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=UziFw-jQSks . It emphasizes his later decent into drug abuse and new age pedagogy. The man was clearly something of a monster. I have a macabre interest in the no holds barred era of 50’s and 60’s military and government research. I find it fascinating that such a lack of restraint resulted in both the horrors of ice pick lobotomies on traumatized veterans and the unmatched achievements of the moon landing. I also find contrast between a government that is happy to engage in LSD research in pursuit of brain washing) and one that routinely locks people in tiny cages for the use of the same substance highly revealing.
