Hey watch out for getting schizophrenia from people like me.  We don't
   want that any more contagious than it already is.
   Somebody sent out a memo implying we _wanted_ the mind control business
   to expand with new kinds of mind control, rather than freeing everybody
   ... is that going to get redacted or anything?
   ---
   All the security of everything has fallen apart because all the people
   responsible for it are busy being mind controlled by security
   interests.
   A lone teenager boots up their new private-club variant of metasploit
   and begins scraping different government security video feeds to see if
   anybody's naked out there.
   They bump into a regular meeting at Well-Respected Psionic Weaponry
   Corporation.  It's a room with a large rectangular table with maybe 37
   diverse people sitting at it.
   There's an audio feed, too, and everybody in the room is crying like a
   baby.
   [ they're crying at a meeting?  how do they do that without making
   other businesses all burst into tears randomly? ] [ sometimes we let
   that happen but usually people are embarrassed and set up
   counterprocesses ] [ oh that's why people are freezing when they see
   tragic stuff!  could you make the counterprocesses more embarrassing
   than the tears? ] [ ... maybe ask me again later? ]
   The teenager stops and watches a little, curious what people are crying
   about at this classified meeting.  There is a media setup with large
   speakers showing a huge video on the wall of one member sitting at the
   table.  Their amplified bawling drowns out all the rest.
   "{sob} I'm so sad that I am still {bawls} torturing and {weeps
   uncontrollably} mind controlling the people of my country to sustain my
   leadership.  {sobs deeply} After we {bawls hopelessly} mind controlled
   ourselves in a {weeps even louder} fucking feedback loop {sobs} to
   protect our cultures from {bawls ridiculously} imaginary opposing mind
   controllers {sobs} I haven't been able to stop."
   Heartfelt applause amidst the sobs.  Somebody strangely dressed in
   coveralls glances at the security feed, but most people ignore it.
   The video on the screen fades to the person to the left of the previous
   speaker, who is also crying.
   "{bawling} I can't handle that I am still {sobs} torturing and {weeps
   unbelievably} mind controlling the workers, users, and clients of my
   social and military businesses, and even {bawls aghast} the federal
   agents who investigate them.  {heaves and sobs} After we {cries more}
   programmed the computers to defend the system on their own {weeps
   hopelessly} it's been all I've been to do, {sobs} even over doing my
   own work.
   The teenager is now crying themselves.
   Applause, and the video fades to the person in coveralls.
   "I'm just here to help out and don't need a turn.  But since I have
   one, how are things going for people?"
      "This is great!" "Yeah!" "It's so much better to cry about having
   taken over the world than to be randomly experimented on by the
   computers!"
   "Great.". They manipulate something in their hand, and everyone
   suddenly gasps together almost as if they are having sex, except for
   one hard-to-make-out person in the corner who almost looks like they
   might be in the midst of multiple surgical operations, their injuries
   are so thorough.
   The half-disassembled person screamed and yells, "What are you
   doing???" Everyone seems taken aback.
   "Sorry!  I ... I thought they liked it.  Everyone says they like it."
    "You want to be staring at your own cut-up brain wondering what you
   are using to think, while I mess with the lives of your friends in
   patterns that help me remember which of them go in which of your
   memories, _again_?  Use less reward stimulation!"
   The person in coveralls looks confused, but responds "I'll use less."
   and the video shifts to another member.
   Everybody is staring almost violently angrily at the injured person who
   said not to reward.  The injured person shifts and seem to glance back
   at people, and everyone's expressions change to bliss and almost love.
   "Thank you for taking care of us," the next speaker says heartfelt,
   before resuming the next session of tears.

   Note:  "social network" was included here to help me remember that
   facebook employees, after learning that their marketing algorithms were
   causing them to use facebook instead of doing the work of maintaining
   it, turned these algorithms on themselves in attempt to regain their
   willpower.  This was mentioned in "the social dilemma", a documentary.
   Such people could likely help us.
