The lines from Bob Kaufman's "Unanimity Has Been Achieved, Not a Dot Less for Its Accidentalness" conveys that Kaufman sees mental hospitals and institutionalization as inhumane, ineffective, and uncaring. The surgeons only think about how well equipped they are with their machines, and they are excited to use this to people with mental illness without caring the fact that it might be harmful to them.
