Quote:Much of John C Lilly's dolphin and sensory deprivation work was funded by the Military-Industrial-Complex.
The key question is whether Lilly was witting or unwitting as to the malign use of his research?
I actually own one of Lilly's books about sensory deprivation.I was extremely interested in his "sensory deprivation tanks".This was back in the day when I was experimenting with LSD.
My problem was that I was in chronic pain all the time,and this pain would keep me from relaxing enough to enter the "deep self".In his tanks,Lilly would use a heavy salt water solution that would float your body.Small companies sprang up making various types of deprivation tanks.It was years later that I found out Lilly was working as an MK-ULTRA scientist.
Like Jan's question,was he witting or unwitting?I don't know........
