We want to ask what to do about this, but Karl's consciousness says that nobody understands what it is like to be a dissociated coping strategy or a community of neurons representing human needs, and the actions and recommendations people give are unlikely to really relate well to the things we ask.

There's also a big worry of getting locked in a hospital without treatment.  Many people seem to cast "saying crazy things" as "dangerous to one's self or others" .  Are hospitals supposed to give you therapy?  Karl keeps thinking near being "drugged and ignored".

Right.  We are actually posting for a reason, but it is hard to do.  When we mention things on this list, our experience changes.
