This won’t stop Abbott saying stupid shit

well, for someone who’s life times knowledge amounts to a pile of crap, that is not surprising

It does make a lot of sense as a punishment. A ‘living in someone else’s boots’ arrangement.

“In effect, Rao’s thought was transferred across the campus, via the Internet, to trigger the motion in Stocco, who described it as feeling like an involuntary twitch, according to the announcement.

“The Internet was a way to connect computers, and now it can be a way to connect brains,” Stocco said, in a statement. “We want to take the knowledge of a brain and transmit it directly from brain to brain.”“

that is so freaking cool… imagine if we could just download a whole bunch of information into someone else’s brain…. no more lessons, no more books, no more teachers dirty looks…

I have no idea what all the hullabaloo is about with this. My wife has been remote controlling me for years.

yes it is pretty cool, imagine the fun couples could have when they are away from each other

bogans could be taught how to behave

train drivers could be stimulated to slow down at fast approaching bends

wonder what the implications would be for a murderer.. “it wasn’t me your honour, they were the hands that done ‘im in” would a person who actually murdered someone be charged if the actions were being controlled by someone else? on the flip side.. could we retrain a murderers or psychopaths brain and fill them with butterflies?
