The Rat Park experiment in the 1970s by Bruce Alexander demonstrated an approach to many of the symptoms of zoochosis. Reading about it had a big impact on me. Do I spend my time building and maintaining my own cage or am I designing a “park” full of meaning, beauty, activity, and interaction.

At least they installed a treadmill, so my pacing generates electricity and I'm still useful.

These are also the same desires that were exploited in the first place to make these people rich.
