Every day my inevitable tedpilling slowly draws closer and closer.

Brazen bull treatment for the inventor I hope.

They’re just ripping off deep space 9 more and more.

they’re going to weaponize salvia aren’t they?

that ones a selling us the rope one for sure tho

More and more people are saying this

If we can be made to work during sleep it will never be in the detriment of working during the day.

You know that that’s not how this works, right? The bulk of the population is paid at a rate that is just this side of starving because it’s the least that the capitalists possibly could pay them and still have people working for them. Something like this, i.e. an expansion of working hours, would mean nothing in the long term but the ability to pay workers less because “they can just supplement it with their sleep job” which will probably pay not very much either, looking at how little gig economy work really pays.

For all the stupid Bazinga shit techbros talk about, a lot of the whole transhumanist utopia is possible…(eventually) Just not under capitalism. Even the very rich can’t make it happen for them because they can’t co-ordinate enough resources to achieve social rather than individual results.

Something like a suite of treatments for robust life extention, for instance, requires not just a miracle treatment but a complete overhaul of research, policy, treatment, care and monitoring methodologies. Even if you’re rich enough to just buy and fund a full time research hospital devoted to you and you alone, it won’t be enough to achieve the goal.

Even a cabal of the rich wont be able to co ordinate it, because at some point it’ll get in the way of financial stability and their lanyard wearing handlers will do to them what the Bavarian government did to King Ludwig when his art projects got in the way of his personal finances (he never spent state funds contrary to popular belief, he was just rich enough to fuck the economy.)

And this is before we get to the fact that billionaires have lying grifters hanging from them like flies on shit.

If you want the cool tech shit, for you or your grandkids, communism is the only option.

oh shit, i thought this was an EEG machine dressed up to defraud investors. If they’re using ultrasound, this is considerably more concerning. This won’t achieve its goal, which is some pie-in-the-sky nonsense. What it will do is poison the well for research into what could be one of the biggest medical breakthroughs of this century…

…cus, as best I understand it, the ultrasound stimulation actually does affect cognition.

Quick rewind; For the longest time, nobody knew how anesthetics worked. They just did. And they work on everything – mammals, reptiles, fish, plants, single celled organisms. At a safe dose, it’s a temporary universal off switch for living organisms. It’s only recently that a reach team of anesthesiologists found out just what anesthetics affect. Inside every cell are these structures called microtubules. They are constantly forming from smaller proteins (called tubulin), falling appart, then forming again. It’s like an all-in-one muscular and skeletal system. It gives cells their shape. It’s how cells move. It’s crucial to cell division. And as long as anesthetics are present, microtubuals don’t form.

The idea behind ultrasound treatment is to do the opposite of anesthetics. To use sound frequencies to stimulate and encourage microtubules to form more. They’re hoping it may be a a treatment for Alzheimers and dementia. And this dumbass startup is trying to monetize it before it’s even gone through preliminary studies.

real “Chief O’Brien stuck in mind prison” hours

There were some proposals to do this to prisoners. Essentially it would make them feel as if they’ve been locked up for decades in a matter of hours

Queen Ludd origin myth.

Holy shit, that’s dark. I’m sorry

I have dreams where I go to work and it’s a black lodge fusion of everywhere I’ve ever worked at once. Same with places I’ve lived or traveled to. Pretty sure most of it is a ptsd thing cause it’s recurring and usually has to do with really bad shit thst happened.

i only trust mendeleev to dream stuff up 🤚🤚🤚

Bazinga brains think it’ll be Inception and they’ll be shooting baddies and kissing hot babes and totally not The Backrooms.
