Exploring 19th Century Asylums
如果19世纪的精神病院
根本不是为精神病人建的呢？
想想看。
人们总说：“如果发生过重置， 难道所有人不会都知道吗？”
但如果那些知情的人
被贴上了精神病的标签呢？
19世纪时，美国和加拿大各地 开始出现规模巨大的精神病院。
庞大的建筑， 宏伟的
石造结构， 其中一些是当时全国最大的建筑
之一。
当时。
但奇怪的是， 许多这样的城市
当时才刚刚建立。
那么，这么多精神病人 是从哪里来的？
他们又怎么知道会有这么多 人，以至于建造了
整座城堡般的建筑群来关押他们？
看看俄亥俄州的中央精神病院。
它看起来更像一座堡垒，而不是 一家医院。
再看看哥伦比亚州立医院。
有一段时间， 它曾是美国最大的建筑
物。
然后是圣路易斯的 圣文森特医院。
据说它只用了一年建成。
在19世纪，只用一年，凭当时那样的
建筑。
所以你得问问自己， 这些建筑真的
是为了治疗精神病患者而建的吗，
或者，它们是为了让那些 记得一个
已不复存在的世界的人噤声而造的 吗？

What if the insane asylums from the 1800s weren't built for insane people at all? Think about it. People always say, "If there was a reset, wouldn't everyone have known?" But what if the people who did know
were labeled insane? In the 1800s, all across America and Canada, massive insane asylums started appearing. Huge buildings, massive stone structures, some of the biggest buildings in the entire country
at the time. But here's the strange part. Many of these cities were just being founded. So where did all of these insane people come from? And how did they know there would be so many of them that they built
entire castle-like complexes to hold them? Look at the Central Lunatic Asylum in Ohio. It looks more like a fortress than a hospital. Look at the Columbia State Hospital. At one point, it was the largest building in the United
States. And then there's St. Vincent Hospital in St. Louis. They say it was built in one year. One year in the 1800s with that architecture.
So you have to ask yourself, were these buildings really made to treat the insane, or were they made to silence people who remembered a world that no longer existed?
