My response to AI distilled by AI:

The idea of these psychiatric institutions as “founded” rather than built has me questioning the official narrative—were they truly constructed in the short timeframes claimed, with the resources available, for the stated purpose of housing the mentally ill? Or were they inherited, appropriated structures, their original function lost or concealed? Given their scale, ornate craftsmanship, and architectural resonance, could they have once served a different role—perhaps as energy sites, cathedrals, or healing centers—before being inverted into places of suffering? I’m drawn to explore whether the historical record reflects truth or a cover story, and what these buildings may have originally been.
