Neo-Victorian

Quite right.

When we look at that Neo-Victorian wing, we aren't judging the rooms themselves.

We are examining the broken machinery that forces the person back inside, despite the life-shattering consequences.

So welcome to the Deep Dive.

Right.

But addiction is different.

OK, so if I go back to Medlock Holmes in that Neo-Victorian building, let's say he finds the engine driving all this destructive behavior in that isolated wing.

Let's call it the reinforcement engine.

Right.

So you have just walked through the heavy, ornate doors of this immense neo-Victorian hospital.

Let's call this place the Theater of Manufactured Illness.

Sounds very dramatic.

Okay, let's synthesize everything we've built today.

We started at the door of the Neo-Victorian Casino, and we traced the architecture of this disorder all the way down to the dopamine receptors and the evolutionary imperative to hunt mammoths.

It's quite a journey.

It really is.

And I think I would want to die if I lived in that.

Or you may look at it and say, Oh, they've done a Neo Victorian, you know, rebuild.

And then you're like, Ooh, this is the most over the top gross thing ever.

And somebody else goes, Oh, that's amazing.
