They'll tell you that it was a different era and such barbarism is forever behind us. Mistakes were made and we learned. They'll tell you this while injecting half the world with an experimental drug that's worse than the disease it's supposed to prevent.

This!

What's old will be new again.

I sure am glad they stopped administering a procedure that turns people into docile, robonic, non-humans! /s

Clearly they replaced lobotomies with establishment traditional and social media.

T-shirtable.

I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy.

We used to call this "common sense."

Well it worked just as intended, back then some people thought the result was desirable in some given circumstances

Of course the circumstances may vary... But the result is always the same! It does work...

>Egas Moniz introduced lobotomy, a surgical operation involving an incision into the prefrontal lobe to mitigate severe symptoms of serious mental illnesses. The operation was widespread during the 1940s and 1950s, but it became apparent that it could lead to serious personality changes. ****The use of lobotomies declined drastically when medications for mental illness were developed during the 1950s.

Honestly, looking at the world and history I bet it actually works when done correctly but one and done doesnt make as much money as taking drugs for life.
