Stephanie and Michael discuss a recent brain surgery treatment in China that may provide a cure of sorts for addiction.

Michael then misquotes Karl Marx to name the episode 'Opioids of the masses'. The actual quote is 'Religion is the opium of the people'. There IS a band called Opiate for the Masses, but I can assure you Michael was completely unaware of that.

Would you opt for brain surgery to cure addiction? Is this just another example of the government developing technology to control our emotions? Should we invest in Tin Foil futures? Let us know!
