Not a bad article. But the article summary on HN is pretty much a lie; I'm pretty sure you can cure NS with various techniques, including blunt-force-trauma to the cranial region.

> blunt-force-trauma to the cranial region

All you'd get is a stupider NS sufferer.

The adverse social effects of NS victims could be mitigated by cranial trauma in four ways:

* Temporary cessation of harmful behavior due to incapacitation

* Operant conditioning

* Permanent reduction in the sophistication and scope of harmful behavior the individual may engage in due to reduction in mental capacity via physical damage to the brain

* Permanent cessation of harmful behavior due to termination of life processes
