Now that I have satisfied my desire for a first hand experience with the penetrating power of the Shaped Charge, being a normal human, now I want a new toy!
I want. A Transcranial Magnet. With an instruction manual.
If you shut down someone's left brain, would you make him feel like "One with the world"?
If you shut down someone's fusiform gyrus and make him watch porn, would he be turned on?
If you shut down someone's mirror neurons, would he empathise with autistic people better?
If you shut down someone's short-term memory, would he appear confused all the time, or would he act on instinct?
Can you make someone feel like he has one hand? Or three hands? Or two left hands?
Can you make someone think that he is really a character in an RPG game?
Can you make someone think that red is blue and blue is red? If he gets used to it, would red soothe him instead of agitate him? Can we then know for sure that "his red" is different from "our red"?
Can you make someone's think that boys are girls and girls are boys? Would that change his sexual orientation? Would that change the way he think of himself?
Can you make someone think that sounds never existed?
Ultimate: Can you make someone think that thoughts never existed?
