Summary
This chapter starts with Mrs. Slater explaining how a lobotomy victim taught science about the Hippocampus, and ends with her telling us how soon we're all going to get a little red pill that'll give us all perfect memories.
Discussion
Mrs. Slater continues wandering off into the psychological wilderness in this chapter. Just a whole bunch of depressing musings on how depressing everything is, which has frankly constituted a large part of this book.
The most relevant comment I have on this chapter comes at the very beginning. How on Earth would anyone ever think sucking out portions of someone's brain was a good idea? I mean, there's some things we've learned as time has moved on, and then there's a gross frontal assault on common sense.
