Didn’t that guy lobotomise himself in Russia?

[–] [email protected] 75 points 1 year ago (6 children)

Tldr kinda

He got addicted to benzos and had himself put in a coma in russia to cold turkey it (against advice to ween off it from doctors in north america). Shit got fucky and he got brain damage from it.

Couple levels of lols there since he did papers on drug addiction in the past and his schtick is not looking for easy answers... but thats the one he took.

Whoa really? Jfc peterson

Thank you very much for the info! ❤️

It doesn't sound like this is a guaranteed fact, but could be a rumor. Just for the sake of transparency.

The benzo addiction and russian coma were definitely things that happened. The brain damage is inferred with the whole "He had to re-learn how to walk and button his clothes"

Oh, yeah... But you have to admit, it kinda explains the behaviour in a concise and plausible fashion though, based on the facts we do know.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Well, that explains a lot of things.

wow never heard this story thank you for sharing

[–] denast 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I know it's probably a joke, but fun fact Soviet Union was the first country to ban lobotomy in 1950

[–] WolfhoundRO 2 points 1 year ago

Yes. And then he got MKUltra'd by FSB (he became a sleeper agent)
