Before ep5 came out, I legit thought that it was what Ricken wrote for the innies
Severance
Ha, that would have been great, but his writing style is very different. I recently listened to the audiobook of "The You You Are", and his approach is very distinct. Also explains a bit more about the relationship him & Devon had with Mark & Gemma, definitely worth a listen!
since "Dieter Eagan" is an anagram for "AI generated"
🤯
I have to admit I didn't come up with that myself, but saw it on the site that shall not be named.
I am guessing “The board” is either:
An AI, A genetically modified mega-brain in a jar, Elder Egans in lich form.
To me, Severance in general is about trauma and control. I mean, trauma in the modern neuroscience concept.
Trauma makes people easier to control and Lumon has elevated that to a global research programme.
They are trying to understand trauma and memory to further their ambitions of total control.
So where did Milchicks story come from? Probably his own shapely butt.
The truth doesn’t matter to Lumon, compliance does. Given the nature of MDRs work, they can’t get good results using direct threats and coercion. So they use a ‘religion’ tailor made to further this most mysterious and important work.
My two cents
