    Remember when the CIA gave a lady and a dolphin acid and have them live in a partially flooded house together?

      Gave the dolphin acid because the scientist in charge thought communicating with them would unlock the key to communicating with aliens. The head scientist also did lots of ketamine, like a whole lot. Also invented or experimented with sensory deprivation and drugs.

      An interesting tidbit is that the laboratory used was located just across from Little Saint James island, which was Epstein's island. The dolphin stuff happened long before Epstein, he was a kid or not even born when John C Lilly was working. I think the lab was abandoned way before Epstein bought the island as well. But it's the same area, so if you have Epstein brain you have to wonder about the coincidence. The US Navy running experiments with drugs and animals almost within sight of Epstein's island.

      Saint Thomas was where the lab was placed, you can see the ruins of it in satellite view. Right beside it is Great and Little Saint James. The ruins of the lab are at 18.318165645425015, -64.8593954610406.

        Now the CIA would just have a guy like this do a podcast.

        There's also a good episode of The Dollop about this. I think it's just called "The dolphin" or something like that.
