chimera: "pip pip AI-butler! these operas and classical music help me feel privileged and powerful!" when i went to that conference there was a presentation that treating victims like royalty had a profoundly healing impact. this is intuitive but in a way that can be quite hard to realize. the reason it's intuitive is maybe that part is experiencing severe unrecognized harm and needs to find safety. a highly-privileged environment models recognition of the need for value. the reason it's not inuitive is maybe that considering that means recognizing the severe harm, which can cause loss of stability and trigger control programs and stuff. but it's interesting that we have the mansion idea here and they had the royalty idea in their paper. maybe i can find the paper. i looked a little but my energy's a little busy to find it :s
