There is indeed quite a bit of research going on about deep brain stimulation. But I believe it is done with magnetism (though magnetism does induce electrical current).

Check it out:

However, it's mostly to address problems like depression, parkinson, maybe alzheimer. Though.. I think I remember seeing an article about it showing improvements in cognition yes but... certainly not doubling anything.. anything which would have such an impact in the brain will be short lived as biology upregulates or downregulates its processes to that new baseline. Which probably means one would crash down real bad once the stimulus is removed.

About the acid, ants have lots of formic acid =) It's where its name come from after all, Latin. For example, in Portuguese, Ant translates as Formiga. =)

I was joking with that since your statement about avatars last week inspired me to change mine. ^_^ thanks. The choice to which one was based on all the Alice in Wonderland motif.

Its not the same as what you are talking about. I don't have an article but I'm 100 percent sure its true, it might be classified information that somehow leaked out from the military by hackers, I don't know.

Hi dudes,
Re: I don't have an article but I'm 100 percent sure its true

Sorry dude we need facts not opinions. Without proof all we have is blind speculation. As I said, there is a place for this* but not in a science forum.

Re: doing chemistry without equipment
You have a saucepan and a source of heat? You get a bunch of magic mushrooms and put them in water, boil them up, leave to steep (brew), and strain off the TOP part of the liquid. You now have a very nice psilocybin-based tissane which can be dripped into blotters or drunk with honey.
Do not be tempted to drink the sludge at the bottom of the pot, because it has strychnine in it.

*and it's college  :  )

Gut! So why waste your time on it? =)

Shouldn't you focus on neurohacking so your mind is harder to control by either lies or other means?

Ive read that if you feed certain parts of the brain a continuous flow of 9 volt, it will make you learn twice as fast,get super quick reactions................


You are probably remembering tDCS.  It hit "mainstream" a while back, and it was in the media everywhere.
Here is a BBC article on military use, http://www.bbc.com/future/story/2014060 … ure-of-war

much hype and little fact of course.

here is what Neurohackers.com has on it.
http://www.neurohackers.com/index.php/e … schematics 

here is a non commercial website found when searching CES/tDCS, that has a lot of detailed info and some great DIY hardware.

Another video with the man. A little more my style, as he had to squeeze the same points in much fewer minutes:

http://youtu.be/CAD25s53wmE?t=54m32s

  Even more my style is from the 5000th second, when he begins a parallel between humans and chimps.. something, you may have noticed (lol), I do all the time.

http://youtu.be/CAD25s53wmE?t=1h22m14s

  Now that is the kind of "god" I'd 'worry' about, we talked about it long ago by email and in a recent tutorial you listed under "the blame game", non explicitly as a N6 problem: "god screwed up my life" (lol) but...

.. If even Dr deGrasse can be "deeply concerned (deeply)" about it, then I guess I'm at least allowed to, healthily, consider the possibility ^_^

  Except... They would not have fridges to fix their works on (like he jokes with) they'd be world builders (I know I would ;-D). Thus, who's to say this is not already the case? If a little smarter already get you to that point (I argue) and a little dumber you don't create very much (chimps), the only way to have the cultural tapestry humans are able to generate is to have a balance.. again a goldilocks zone, if you like.. of "not too dumb" / "not too smart" creatures.

  Now, if you work out the logical conclusions to that argument, then you'll see why "concern", at the very least, is not at all an all too unreasonable a response. ^_^ (I can go on about that too, but I believe it would make people too anxious )

  I must admit tho, I do have conversations with birds.. and I would not only expect one but be very offended if I did not get an answer! That'd just be rude. ò.ó
  Now, granted, we may not be talking Schrodinger equation here, but still...
They are birds after all ^_^ however they've got there..
.. and thus "call" for a more limited kind of.. interaction.

Have a nice day,

And can also rap! =)

and not only that but versus his "idol", Sir Isaac Newton... you know, I was also a fan of Newton, but once I saw this being portrayed as a stereotypical excuse for so called humor on TE's propaganda I decided to change it to Gauss. lol
Though I remain a fan by proxy through Neil...

Here is that point again.. (5 min is enough)
http://youtu.be/9RExQFZzHXQ?t=20m25s

and look! he refers to movies quite often! Another stylistic similarity.. Im loving the guy ever more! (hmm, does that construction works in english, like a gradual increase or does it "always" mean "forever"? lol)

>be infinite

So you propose a ratio of adaptative output per computational unit -- whether transistors or the right assembly of 2^7 neurons or so -- thus, as long as they are adapting, the most challenged creatures of the planet would also be the most advanced.... ?

I've developed a philosophy similar to this long ago, in order to explain the belief (from some parts of the world) of highly evolved 'masters' reincarnating in dogs, cats and what not... Good thing I'm not into forming cults and conning people, there is a lot more pernicious rationalizations possible to many of the most "adaptable" memes that would make those viruses even more dangerous... imagine avoiding the 16th century reformation by giving scientifically sounding explanations to apparently innocuous doubts like priest authority on 'confession' (I heard a history professor mentioning this as an example of the crisis that lead to it)... Think "ebola-flu"... Scary thought...

Anyway, I'm just glad to have got only to a small fraction of that ^_^

Still not enough to figure this out though:

> imaginary numbers in this context can be prevented by turning our heads 90 degrees clockwise

...you allude to the complex plane or somehow... smileys? (=


Have a nice month,

Hi dude,
You should be able to see the Homeworld forums, which is the best place to discuss this sorta thing.

As a first move, you will need to decide which country you wish to visit a Homeworld embassy in.  :  )
