Nerve-Stapling

A horrifyingly precise form of psycho-surgical pacification. It doesn't just suppress emotions or aggression; it permanently severs or reroutes specific neural pathways to make a being docile, content, and incapable of rebellious or violent thought. In dystopian sci-fi, it's used on dissidents or the chronically unhappy to create perfectly obedient workers or a tranquil underclass. The term evokes the brutal imagery of "stapling" the nerves shut, implying a crude, irreversible intervention that destroys the spark of free will in exchange for peaceful, hollow compliance.
Example: "The riots stopped after the corporation rolled out 'voluntary contentment therapy.' Everyone knows it's just nerve-stapling. Now the protest leaders just smile blankly and water their lawns, their fire for justice surgically removed."
