It's a theory of mine that schizophrenia could be a matter of
individuals minds getting hacked by ET nanoprobes. Such a vector would
prove immune to scientific inquiry of the type that neurologists and
pshrinks use. Victims eventually get better either because the hackers
get bored, or else the victim learns to tune out the erroneous signals
much as people tune out background noise.
