I'm glad that Mentagrams never really took off. Imagine what would have happened if they really gained hold? An unwavering faith in a pantheon of personas, unalterable, with set rules on how they behave and interact, baked into our culture and politics at the deepest level. You wouldn't even know you were being marketed to/persuaded by/instructed by a belief system you didn't know you were a part of, controlling who you could be, who you could get along with and how, and what the outcomes could be. It's frightening.
After their archetypes disintegrated, most of its adherents were able to move on, adopt whatever new belief systems they were exposed to, changed by their experience but still malleable and able to evolve. Only a few were completely devastated, those that had given themselves completely to the new programming. Once that dissolved, they were left empty, blithering husks. Those without family to care for them needed to be institutionalized.
You can volunteer your time to visiting the Mentagrams wing of Psyhigh's Rehabilitation and Care Hospital, bringing flowers, singing songs, and changing bedsheets. Contact @
