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?

ReplyDeleteHm, apparently the brain can reroute areas that are shut down, like the internet. thats why people with hydrocephaly still retain most of their functions till the brain is like over 80% gone. so id say yes.

doesnt shutting down mirror neurons prevent emphathy from occurring, or at least reduce it to some extent? lol.

No it will not change his sexual orientation, since he will still be attracted to the opposite sex. And (s)he will not change in any way, since (s)he will have all mental images and stereotypes reversed as well.
Can you make someone think that sounds never existed?
Quite possible mah. just erase all possible memory of sounds, or just all possible memory, then deafen him.
