Modern Maladies - ASIC AMNESIA
ASIC AMNESIA – Classically, the ASIC amnesiac is a neurologically sound individual until such terms as predatory pricing and cost-benefit assessment enter the middle ear. This is especially so under formal cross–examination when heretofore accessible banks of long-term data can escape the patient’s fingertips.
Three words – I don’t recall – are as good as a diagnosis. Cat scans to the cortex during acute stress periods reveal an unscathed hippocampus, though the emotional seat of the amygdale is akin to a Schumacher solenoid. Jail terms can ameliorate the cerebral dysfunction, but don’t hold your breath. See also ACCC amnesia, ATO amnesia, Fair Trading Fugue and Repressed Royal Commission Syndrome.
