@stellarcorpse 1. Electroshock can erase your memory - it did for Ernest Hemingway. 2. The army uses Ketamine as an antidepressant and it can erase memories also. 3. That really does look like an impostor pod person Kanye.

Yes, yes. It was used heavily in some of the MK-ULTRA experiments on people in state mental institutions. It accomplishes what's called "de-patterning" which is breaking up the mental patterns of memories and beliefs, etc, as I understand it.

Anti-malaria medication "lariam" can also cause (pretty severe) memory loss.

Hemingway said that ECT "saved the man but killed the writer," due to its effects on his memory.
