The Dosadi Experiment (2012)
“It reduces all (manipulators and manipulated alike) to a deadly “mass effect.” The central assumption, that manipulation of individual personalities can achieve uniform behavioral responses, has been exposed as a lie by many species but never with more telling effect than by the Gowachin on Dosadi. Here, they showed us the “Walden Fallacy” in ultimate foolishness, explaining: “Given any species which reproduces by genetic mingling such that every individual is a unique specimen, all attempts to... impose a decision matrix based on assumed uniform behavior will prove lethal.”
