In a world of growing social size and intense technological developments, while at the same time we witness the obsolescence of our present systems of values and the rapidly increasing indifference, due to repetitive feedback and constant exposure to the bathos of perception, it becomes more and more difficult for man to discharge his natural aggressive drives, those basic and fundamental motors of the human mind - as Dr. Konrad Lorenz has so well proved.
By directly involving people in rapid successions of environmental changes, by intense and unexpected situations sometimes approaching the upper thresholds of tolerability, it becomes possible to liberate instinctive behavior mechanisms, thus giving us a new and deeper insight into ourselves and our environmental vironmental universe.
Sensory deprivation rooms, disorientation rooms, panic rooms, floating rooms, overloaded sound-and-light rooms, offer us (now all psychopaths) situations in which we can "let ourselves really go," and so discharge our aggressive drives in a safer and redirected way.
By so exploring and extending the limits of our sensibility and the comprehension of ourselves, we will be able to discover new values and ideals - so necessary in our present times, if we want to survive.

“How fragile it is to form a group, any kind of group. How delicate the task of creating the conditions for a shared belief are.” and so it’s true: we’re on the point of collapse most of the time.
