[edit] Feynman
The relationship with Feynman should be mentioned and I have posted the reverse on Talk:Richard_Feynman. It's an interesting topic as well. Thomas Veil 05:41, 7 Sep 2004 (UTC)
Interesting he should say his LSD work was part of MKUltra, as one researcher, Fritz Springmeier, claims he was a mind control programmer. john 22:32, 7 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Like reading an obituary
Is the feeling I got reading the article as it now stands. __meco 17:16, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
- I'd agree. Would be good to go into depth about his work on sensory deprivation and communication with dolphins.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Faustus83 (talk • contribs).
[edit] Movies
I never read the book that it was based on, but I always thought that the Don Bluth movie The Secret of NIMH was inspired by Lilly's work. Researchers at the National Institute for Mental Health giving psychoactives to animals to make them hyperintelligent and anthropomorphic and all. It would be nice if the article mentioned Lilly's work at NIMH.
[edit] SSI
The information concerning Lilly's concept of SSI or "solid state intelligence", linked from the Philip K Dick infopages is missing from this page. Anyone who knows more about that, please elaborate.
[edit] MKULTRA
Does anyone else have information on Lilly's supposed MKULTRA involvement. This claim seems specious and is still not sourced. I will add a section on SSI and ECCO shortly. --Thomaskmfdm 15:11, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
I have removed the MKULTRA reference. Lilly's legal LSD supply came from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH). This supply was considered part of the MKULTRA program and is recorded in documents uncovered via the Freedom of Information Act[[1]]. When asked by the director of the NIMH to brief the CI), FBI, NSA, and the various military intelligence services on his work using electrodes to stimulate directly the pleasure and pain centers in the brain, Lilly refused. He was not involved in MKULTRA aside from obtaining LSD for his experiments. --Thomaskmfdm 05:41, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
