ACADEMICS:

I really sat on the fence with this one for a while. There is a part of me that wants to just toss all of my old papers into an incinerator and never look at them again. The thing that stops me is that I still find them interesting. Maybe you will too. Maybe they will help you. I believed so strongly, all those years ago, that my work on oneironautics and apotropaics would change psychology, change science forever. Well, look where that got me. But still, if there is any remaining value to be found in these addendum-ridden, redacted documents, then maybe I shouldn't hide it. Its good to look at the parts of you that hurt.

This document is a medical advisory paper that I wrote in which I urge the medical research foundation that funded me to adopt apotropaic measures (protective measures, basically). I had begun to feel that the research we were performing was dangerous for both patient and practitioner and so I spoke up. There is a part of me that wishes I hadn't. This paper was used as evidence of my misuse of department funding at my university hearing.

Hopefully it helps you more than it helped me.
