Conspiracy of care

The conspiracy of care was the social system whereby hanyo babies were brought up to believe that the world owed them compensation for their early pain, and justified their later oppression and exploitation of people.

Since hanyo boys were born into a patriarchal system that already saw them as entitled and valuable, their disease and disability led to a prevalence of guilt on the part of their carers, which was reinforced by Pradip Shankar's theorisation of Male Hypertoxic Syndrome as being caused by maternal defects. MHS in newborns produced hypersensitivity of the skin coupled with hyperactivity of the immune system. Pradip Shankar invented a system to save these babies that involved rearing them in cleanrooms with no human contact for the first seven years of life. They were fed and cleaned robotically and educated through voice-controlled computers.

At about seven years of age, their skin sensitivity would have been partially destroyed by their immune system, and they would be able to come out of their clean rooms and lead a normal life. However, their lack of early socialisation would often lead to adjustment problems, so after 2045 most such boys were sent directly to boarding school where the rest of their education was completed. They would be released into society as young adults. During this period, their isolation coupled with the discourse of their social importance and power would warp their personalities, leading to their belief in hanyo sense.
