Could 'Severance' Become Our Reality?

Then once you have the technology, then you're able to make that technology grow very, very quick. And I like to use the example of flight. You know, the Wright brothers really did the first flight in 1903. It was only 11 years later where we started flying people commercially. And I think we have now, in this field, we've taken our first flight.

Could 'Severance' Become Our Reality?

Yeah, I love talking about that. And the area that I targeted or we targeted in the show was the amygdala and hippocampus. And that is such a perfect area for I think what Ben's vision was, which was, you know, how do we separate memories and the emotions that are associated with memory? So that's a perfect area. But in broader strokes, And the brain is really an unbelievable organ.

The areas that we stimulate will be the areas that cause the effects that we want. So if we want people to be able to walk, we would stimulate the motor cortex, which is the area of the brain that controls our movement.

Should we be doing it? So imagine being able to turn people's memories on and off and being able to enhance or decrease the sort of functional level of certain areas. Who do we decide has the power to make those changes? So we are not far off from being able to control those things, but then it begs the question, who's the one holding the remote?

Yeah, so this episode seven was brilliant. There are a lot of different threads you can pull for abuse. There's that one facility where... women go to have children and they can sort of separate sort of themselves from the care of the children with their regular lives. And so there was a lot of different ethical questions that came from there.

And I think one of the biggest ethical questions of the show is almost like an existential question, is that if we're turning off our ability to remember, are we not confronting the memories that bring us trauma? Are we just forgetting the memories? but still holding on to these very painful, traumatic emotions. So are we not actually healing?

Because what happens is these emotions that come, a lot of times depression and severe depression actually changes the way that your brain is firing. It's actually your neurotransmitters that are released It's a sort of abnormal functioning of the release of these neurotransmitters. And your brain is not firing appropriately.
