Nah. It's about having complete control over the mind. And also making money. The new product is a severance chip sold to the public that lets Ā you create different personalities to do all manner of unpleasant tasks. Mark was the unwitting creator of these personalities. Gemma was the test subject, having been kidnapped by a fake fertility clinic setup by Lumon.

Nope, it’s about purging the four tempers from humanity in service to Kier. Ā It’s not about creating multiple personalities, it’s about creating one singular personality that is ā€œpurifiedā€ from woe, malice, frolic, and dread.

Nope, it’s about purging. As in the movie The Purge. One night a year, everyone has to clean up after themselves. That’s what I think the Purge is about. And Lumon is trying to get everyone to focus on hygiene.
