The Inhuman "Science"

I find the psychologist's abuse of the Chilean miners quite upsetting. I suppose it is the immediate level of dependency those poor miners have on those in control. Here in what was formerly known as the United States of America, the tyranny is a bit more diffuse, and one can usually get a few basic needs met without having to pretend our credentialed lunatics have any sense- unless you are a child having to deal with public school.

These miners are underground, where it is dark and dirty. For psychologists to deprive these people of anything- remember, they already have to limit their diet in order to get out- is just cruelty. (I say anything because, frankly, psychologists should not have the authority to deprive them of anything, while the people actually in charge of their welfare and rescue might choose to deprive them of things that would lessen the chance of their rescue- nobody is sending them donuts, for example.)

The psychologists pull this sort of stunt on people who can't defend themselves, and then they get to go home, to have their wine, cigarettes, television, and whatever else. If they had ever learned to be human, the finest food would taste like ash to them at the mere thought of bullying those miners.
