PROTOTYPE for New York City Psychoanalytic Training Institutes Wiki

THIS ALL WAS GENERATED ENTIRELY BY AI (PERPLEXITY), AND I MAKE NO REPRESENTATIONS AS TO ITS ACCURACY OR UTILITY. IT’S PRESENTED MOSTLY AS A DISCUSSION PIECE, AND AS AN INDICATION OF WHERE THIS PROJECT IS HEADED. ENJOY, BUT DON’T TAKE IT TOO SERIOUSLY YET. BUT DON’T THAT LACK OF SERIOUSNESS PREVENT YOU FROM MARVELING AND JUST HOW IMPRESSIVE THIS IS, REGARDLESS OF ITS SHORTCOMINGS.
