It might be easier to say: they should stop watching so many holovids when they should be watching their overview scan reports. That tends to be more the actual cause of their "disassociation" than the purification processes of Arkanon or Bistot. They're not insane dying out there while not aligning, they're usually simply not paying attention.
Having done some work with mining corporations, other than the usual mild levels of disorientation (not remembering where they are, their actual names at times, etc), they're at about the same level of coherence as the majority of Capsuleers. I say miners go crazy due to abject boredom. Seriously, all a miner does is stare at rocks all day. Soon they become so lethargic they won't even notice the Catalysts that warp in and lock them. Boredom is a mind killer. This is rather subjective. You could easily argue that a miners tasks are simple enough to free up the time to do many other things. Such as responding on the IGS, find the best revenue on the market of the mined product, contact friends and keep them informed and or a multitude of creative solutions to the issue of 'boredom'. Honestly, roaming around in a frigate coursing through one system to the next just trying to find something to engage is just as repetitive and boring. That said, repetitiveness is boring. Automating that repetitiveness just leaves you with more boredom!
And yet there are still those who do nothing but stare at rocks.

Such a scathing opinion of geologists. I am curious as to the cause? |

Exceptions just confirm the rule.
It's up to you which group you believe to be the exception. |

If I find myself mining, I do it while listening to Gallente house music and playing strip poker with exotic dancers. |

Since I'm doing it while plugged into the ship, strip poker is not an option. I do it drunk. Or I do it with a book. Or an opened Market Window.
Same thing I do with fishing. |

I heard miners used strip miners. But I think I never saw how strip pokers work. I hope it isn't a weapon and you don't poke dancers through, or I will have to report you to CONCORD. |

I am a soldier, Mr. Toov, and I must not let myself to be sheltered, instead, it is my duty to shelter others. Besides, anything can be a weapon. Poker sounds indeed as a weapon. Even a card can be a weapon, especially with sharpened edges. |
