Relaunch

100% satisfaction

- And tonight, exclusively for Channel 7, Magnus Thornhope, the man behind New Life.

Audience claps as Magnus appears at the studio. John Carlson shakes his hand and goes along the sofa beside the interview's desk.

- Magnus Thornhope. A pleasure to have you with us in our show. Let's recap: you studied psychology and psychotherapy and get doctored with only 25 years old. You started to work in New Life labs ten years ago and you became CEO in only 5 years. You are now currently owning the 56% of the company. Please, tell us your secret!

- Well, I really didn't do anything special, believe me. All procedures in New Life were implemented years before I came to the company, and so they work perfectly! I had just nothing more to do, but maybe it could be my understanding and engaging with the mind processes that placed me where I am now.

- ...but seems a bit contradicting – replied the showman. On one side you have education in psycology and mind therapies, and suddenly you move to brainwashing? – Audience laugh as the "LAUGH" red light was blinking.

- So, here in Channel 4 are you experts on brainwashing? Oh no! – Audience laugh again. – Well, seriously, years ago when people lived traumatic experiences they went to the psychologist. They dived into memories, past and all logical and irrational behavior of patient, rebuilding and enforcing emotional links. This could take years, and this weekly sessions mostly they were traumatic and there was a high risk about all the work done was just for nothing. People quitted going to therapy, needed time, and even when therapies were finished, sometimes there was still some memories that came back, and at some point therapies should have to start again. People thought psychology was a slow and painful process, and it was! That's why it was so hard to get rid of addictions like cocaine, alcohol, etc. or, for example, traumatic experiences on childhood, they were really hard to overcome.

- And that's because standard psychology can remove memories, basically?

- Well, that's the main difference, of course. This is the only thing that conventional procedures in psychology can't make, and in New Life we do. Of course, it's not as simple as it seems. If people looses one bucket of memories, all other related thoughts and emotions must be replaced, relocated and understood together as a block.

- I see. You take off the traumatic memories and change the remaining ones to understand the memory void.

- John, you talk as if we were really extracting a piece of brain. You know every sleep kills around 100.000 neurons, and naturally your brain forgets lots of useless thoughts every day. Once you get over a traumatic experience, why you need to keep this old memories? The brain could have removed them because they are not relevant anymore, just make you suffer and feel pain for something that was past, lost, and it's not part of your life anymore.

- But what about other people? They are still part of this lost memory! For me it is quite surprising that living in the same world, with the same people, taking off one part of my brain would make all my relationships consistent with reality.

- Yes, John. That has been my major concern since I am in New Life. On one side, for a candidate patient to be relaunched there must be a certain mandatory inputs that must be met. For example, one of them is that no existing person can be affected negatively by the relaunch, and all people that was related to the removing memories must agree with it. Other, also important, is that a positive report from Law Government Department and Police must be completed. Under no circumstances we are allowed to perform a relaunch to anyone if there is any legal issue behind like, for example, aspects related to family heritages, crimes, etc.

- In one sentence?

- We only remove absolutely useless memories for our patients and for anyone else related.

- So, Magnus, in all these years, how many relaunched cases have not succeed at all?

- In the last 50 years, not a single one.

- 100% satisfaction?

- 100% guaranteed. If you are not hundred percent satisfied, we would just reset all your memories back.

- Magnus Thornhope, The man behind New Life. - Audience claps.

- Thank you very much, John. A pleasure.
