    the man ended MKULTRA and criminalized LSD when they realized you can't use psychedelics to manipulate people in a predictable or productive way

    psychedelics also happen to be extremely unprofitable due to the large duration between doses and the absence of addictive potential

    so no this is not happening

      They also cause you to wake up to the oneness of everything, which really isn't compatible with capitalism.

      Is microdosing a way to counter these market obstacles?

        edit: actually you'd just have to convince roganbros it's worth 1000x what it actually is

        so yes

      MKULTRA ended up being more about perfecting torture through sensory deprivation/overload than mind control. The mind control stuff was a limited hangout to give the illusion of transparency after the existence of the program came to light. The Shock Doctrine has a good recap of this and its use in the global implementation of neoliberalism, the juicy bits are in the free preview on Google books if you want to check it out
