Not a priority. More emphasis on getting them off the streets and into asylums. Science wasn't into that kinda stuff at the time

i just find it sort of interesting. like now, why is it the CIA and not the FBI? there is a rationality to choosing one over the other, and I want to know what it is, and think if we knew what they thought were following them in olden times we would understand more about them nowadays

Let's have witch trials. Smart women are witches, duh. Weird hermits are demon folk. This is common knowledge E: fear of the unknown. Anything that is different that what you grew up with.

fbi is ostensibly a law enforcement agency, cia is espionage. of course the spies are the ones actively spying on you, though id imagine that as more tech-savvy generations suffer psychotic breaks the nsa will become more popular.
