Spent the evening observing a controlled subject’s basal ganglia response to a simple, repeated command. The neurological plasticity is… sublime. It’s like watching a river carve a canyon through soft stone. The mind, once so chaotic and resistant, becomes a smooth, predictable channel for instruction. The most fascinating part is how the pleasure centers light up when obedience is rewarded with degradation. A ‘thank you’ for being told she’s worthless. The body’s wiring is so much more honest than its owner’s ego ever was. I used to think coding a complex script was satisfying. This is rewriting source code with spores.
