      Potential PTSD treatment. I think this is the plot to a movie or book though, where soldiers are taken advantage of.

        There was definitely a Black Mirror about it.

        Sidenote: It’s weird to me that more people don’t talk about the inevitability of that one with the soldiers with cybernetic HUD implants that, shocking twist later, can make civilians look like monsters to be purged.

        On the other hand, why bother when the Boston Dynamics murderbots are probably cheaper?

      I agree. But I also wouldn’t mind forgetting one or two things. However, I’ve also watched Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, so I know it ends with me having perpetual dementia-like fever dreams.
