The Tinasky and Narbon studies show what happens when you stimulate a latent mad intellect with mad science under controlled conditions. Dr. Lee is what happens when you stimulate a sane intellect with mad science under controlled conditions. I think what we’re seeing now is what happens when you overload a sane intellect with mad science under uncontrolled conditions.

I’ve said it before that I believe that Virginia broke through as Mad extremely young. It’s possible that failing her dol when she was a year old was what pushed her over the edge.
