Jack Nicholson's face in the movie One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest when he discovers that many of the inmates were in fact voluntary was a priceless moment in the film. It was also one of my reference points during 2020-2023 regarding how so many people during the scamdemic were so compliant, feeling safer inside the loony-bin... preferring the institutional regime to freedom instead.

R.P. McMurphy paid the price in the movie, all because he liked to 'fight and fuck too much'. Furthermore, I understand that the writer of the novel, Ken Kesey, was not the counter-cultural thinker that the novelist presents himself in this novel. Mark Windows (of Windows of the World) has referred to him several times in his podcasts/writings as an early-stage 'communitarian' (which played its part in leading us into the scamdemic). Would love to see a conversation between Miri and Mark Windows... that would be awesome! (hint.. hint... Miri! Medication time!)

You can find Mark on Odysee at Windows on the World, or on his website (link will be on his Odysee account). Here's an interesting podcast that he did summarising his angle on communitarianism.
