The second and sort of related part, Ziz seems to believe that you can kind of indefinitely just say no, that you can avoid compulsion and arrest and surrender simply by resisting at all times. And then the third part is that Ziz has a... What I suppose you would call a bicameral theory of mind, that she believes that every brain has two hemispheres.

I mean, every brain, in fact, does have two hemispheres. She's not wrong about that. But that each hemisphere contains a different person or a different personality that has been sort of melded together. in most people, but that through techniques like sleep deprivation, judicious application of hallucinogenic drugs, you can separate out these two halves of your brain, these two personalities.

She believes that each brain has a sort of independent moral quality and that, again, I can't believe how many times I have to say this is a blanket non-endorsement of all of Ziz's beliefs. But I do want to establish that, you know, as I describe this, it's not necessarily that we should take it at face value.

But she basically believes that something like one in 20 people, one part of the brain, one half of their brain has an intuitive understanding of animal lives as being worth the same as human lives. So that person is called single good. One of the two halves of their brain has this goodness, this understanding.

In one in 400 people, both parts of their brain have this intuitive moral understanding. Those people are called double good. So I bring up this schema both to, like, establish that Ziz is encouraging her followers to sort of pursue the sleep deprivation, the hallucinogenic drugs in pursuit of, like – you know, a genuinely pretty out there and strange vision of like human consciousness.

But she's also established this kind of hierarchy of moral worth that she is double good. She's looking for other double good people. And if you are only single good, well, you're just not as good as is basically.

So you can kind of, you know, you can begin to see a sort of social dynamic emerge that allows her to take control of a group of people to establish herself as the leader, to establish herself as the sort of moral exemplar.

OK, so the Zizians have some strange ideas. They have a charismatic leader. That doesn't necessarily mean trouble has to happen. When do the Zizians first have trouble with the law?
