I Swear, I'm Insane

Mon, 22 Jun 2026 12:01:02 GMT

Have you ever heard of the Rosenhan experiments at Standford? If not, you’re not alone. It didn’t receive as much attention as some other experiments performed by Standford, but the results were unsettling. Because unlike some experiments, this one was held in the real world. No safeguards were put into place the volunteers, and there was no way for them to quit. Once it started, they were trapped. Quite literally.

Did you ever wonder how people became famous before the internet? Well, in some cases, it all started with a picture. Someone would walk into a shop for a photo and then suddenly, that person’s face is on a cartes-de-visite being distributed to the world. In modern times, they would be the Instagram models that you follow. Apparently, beauty has always been a career path, even without social media.
