Stereo Page #2

Synopsis: Sometime in the future, the Canadian Academy for Erotic Inquiry is investigating the theories of parapsychologist Luther Stringfellow. Seven young adults volunteer to submit to a form of brain surgery that removes their power of speech but increases their power for telepathic communication. An unseen group of students observes the results. As the experiment progresses, Stringfellow's theories come to fruition. Later, aphrodisiacs and various other drugs are introduced to the subjects to expose an inherent polymorphous perversity. In the end, they are isolated from each other, provoking antagonism and violence between them, which results in two suicides.

is the dominance

of one of the particles forming

the telepathic conglomerate.

Whether the conglomerate consists

of two telepathists or of a large

socially cohesive group

the principle of psychic

dominance remains constant.

The dominant personality

is responsible for the

suppression of the heterogeneous

elements which the

conglomerate comprises.

The homogeneous elements which remain

are then driven together

to form the conglomerate

by the laws of telepathic bonding

implicit in the Stringfellow Hypothesis.

The principle of dominance thus

provides the agglutinizing impetus

which induces the initial

conglomerative motion.

As Stringfellow notes in defining

the nature of dominance

the will of the newly formed

conglomerate must necessarily

be a function of the will of

the dominant personality.

Only after an indefinite period of

symbiotic telepathic cohesion

can the dominant personality abnegate

its agglutinative role and encourage

the emergence of a truly synthetic

conglomerate personality.

Stringfellow's behavior

as parapsychologists

suggests that perhaps that his foremost

post-operative research objective

was to intuit which among his Category-A subjects

was the one most capable of assuming

the role of psychic dominant.

This subject was then provided

indirectly with certain

historical and interpretive data

concerning his fellow subjects.

This data would naturally assure the immediate

social dominance of the chosen subject

within the context of the experimental,

socially isolate gestalt

The function of the dominant would be

then to select from his fellow subjects

the one psychically most vulnerable.

And by the application of subtle, social intimidations

followed by a careful series

of potent symbolic gestures

draw the subject into the field of his

psycho-telepathic dominance.

Once a true conglomerate

exhibiting complete telepathic

bonding has been established

between this primary couple

the progression towards a larger and

more complex conglomerate may begin.

In psychic research

the emotional distance between

the researcher and his subject

is inevitably diminished until it is no more

than the distance between any two persons.

The acquiescence of the subject

of the demands of the researcher

comes nothing more nor less,

than an individual act of faith of love.

If there can be no love between

researcher and subject

there can be no experimentation.

In conventional theories

of scientific methodology

an experiment proves its validity

when it can be universally

repeated in every aspect.

In psychic research, such an

approach is completely untenable.

David Cronenberg

David Paul Cronenberg, CC OOnt FRSC (born March 15, 1943) is a Canadian filmmaker, actor and author. Cronenberg is one of the principal originators of what is commonly known as the body horror or visceral horror genre.
