Severance | Wolf 359 - Memoria
I will soar, then, beyond this power of my nature, and rise by degrees towards him who made me. I enter the fields and spacious halls of memory, where are stored the countless images that have been brought into them from all manner of things by the senses. There, in the memory, is stored what we cogitate, either by enlarging or reducing our perceptions, or by altering one way or another those things which the sense have made contact with; and everything else that has been entrusted to it and stored up in it, and which oblivion has not yet swallowed up and buried. 
Hera... what was that?
Umm, it's from St. Augustine. Confessions. I've been going through the writing, and -
Which writing?
Well... all the writing.

the way severance creates the circumstances of a fucked up parenthood…mark wants his innie to be happy. he can’t be happy, but maybe this new self (that’s him and not him, a creation born from his DNA) can be happy. “tell them you view your innie as a sister,” not quite not quite because helena eagan tells helly r she’s not a person—something something how narcissistic parents view their children as an object to be controlled. she tells helly she will make her life horrible if she does not stop rebelling against her. the way dylan stops enjoying the perks when he finds out about his own son—he is not lumen’s thing to shape, he is someone’s dad. (love love love this plot being given to a dad instead of a mom btw.) irving stops loving lumen when he realizes they can’t give them what he needs; love opens up the whole wide world for him, and he wants it. (it’s a classic coming of age story!)
then there’s how the non-severed lumen employees treat the innies like children. again, the perks and training systems. lumen created severance because they cannot clone a perfect baby to raise in the cult, this is the next best thing. or maybe they are raising babies in the cult, maybe this is another experiment.
or…what if they think they’re truly doing something good. adult life is too hard. let someone else handle all you cannot—yourself who’s not yourself. don’t worry, we’ll take care of them. we’ll make sure they’re treated well. we’ll discipline them if they’re out of line. they’ll have rewards for positive behavior. good intentions are scarier than lumen being nebulously evil bc abuse can happen with smiles, silence, and egg buffets. a system built from good intentions also allows the most evil people to play along until they have absolute control over vulnerable people. (parents send their kids to school and promise to do right by them. we know, now, that many schools fail that promise.)
harmony cobel’s attachment to mark also makes sense with this context. he has what she doesn’t: freedom from all-encompassing grief, eight hours a day. but she feels responsible for him. he’s her project. he’s the fruits of her devotion to lumen and the eagans. she’ll destroy his self esteem with a snap of her fingers. she’ll bend his innie until he snaps into shape. cycles and cycles and cycles. she’ll break the rules so he isn’t fired, getting herself fired in the process. when mark says he wants to quit lumen, she cries, hugs him, and says “good.”

Famine. Plagues.
Severance was made shortly after the COVID-19 pandemic. Many things during the pandemic are surreal, and parts of Severance evoke the same feeling.
Employees must wash their hands 10 times a day. Departments are isolated in order to contain pathogens. Soap is just weird.
Everything is so empty. Mark's neighborhood, Baird Creek, "never really filled up," and beside it is a massive graveyard. (On Irving's map of Kier, PE, almost all of the severed employees he marked live right by cemeteries.)
Lumon Industries and Kier Eagan are all about perfecting and curing people and the world. Lumon started as a medical company and still seems to be, at least to some extent. Dentistry, medicine, neurosurgery; they were recruiting pharmacology and psychology college students. Mark and Irving's license plates show Kier's face and, instead of a state name, "remedium hominibus". Latin for "cure for mankind". Lumon wants to "save the world".
Kier was sick as a boy, but healed. Dylan's Eagan bingo cards listed "picture of a boy with rickets"- some part of the Eagan history (or Kier's personal history) included rickets. Illness. Everything at Lumon is about "healing".
There is a lot of weird stuff about food, inside and outside of Lumon. At Devon and Ricken's "dinner" party, they don't eat at all. Patton's "friend in Lima hasn't had a food-based dinner event in-" some significant amount of time. Their guests have discussions about food vs. life. The Kier song that Harmony sings says that he "brings the bounty to the plains".
Dylan's theory might've be a little off, but I honestly think he is very close. "Shit must've gotten pretty bad out there. Famine. Plagues."

Imagine a transgender Severed worker
What if a severed trans person woke up on the table and instantly knew what gender they were, even if their outie hadn't quite figured it out yet? Maybe a trans man wakes up in that elevator every day wearing a skirt and blouse and desperately hopes one day his outie will figure it out soon and stop wearing stuff that's so dysphoria inducing.
Or what if that's why they're severed in the first place? Mark severed because he wanted to get away from the grief about his wife, maybe there's a severed trans woman that did the same thing. Maybe she decided to undergo the severance procedure just so that for 8 hours a day she wouldn't have to be in her body anymore, someone else would. God it would suck if she was doing voice training but her innie didn't know how to do that, so she wouldn't be able to practice while at work.
Maybe there's an outie that knows they're nonbinary, but their innie doesn't know because the Lumon handbook doesn't mention anything about more than two genders, so their innie is just stuck feeling really weird about gender and not knowing why or what to do about it.
Idk if Severance ever explore this kind of thing but I'd love for them to somehow

Last night I was thinking about what the goats could be for, and then I realized... they’re sacrifices. Goats have been traditionally sacrificed around the world. The man in charge of the goats even pleads to Mark and Helly, asking them not to take the goats yet.
We’ve been shown bits and pieces of how Lumon functions like a religion/cult, and how employees are directed to see Kier as some kind of God or savior, but if I’m correct, it’s going to get a lot darker, bloodier, and weirder in season 2.
