    It’s true there were no drugs involved, that he knows of. But I don’t think you give enough credit to the effects of the experiment. If you read the details of the experiment it’s not too far fetched to argue that it didn’t just enhance extreme beliefs, but manifested them.

      Tbh I am HIGHLY pessimistic towards any MKULTRA shit just because of how much annoying dumb bullshit conspiracy shit has spawned from it, but yeah that is also a pretty plausible possibility that it could totally fuck him up like that since the people running all this shit didnt give a fuck if it ruined people.
