That's good, 'cause the fly can't.

There was definitely a Black Mirror about it.

Sidenote: It's weird to me that more people don't talk about the inevitability of that one with the soldiers with cybernetic HUD implants that, shocking twist later, can make civilians look like monsters to be purged.

On the other hand, why bother when the Boston Dynamics murderbots are probably cheaper?

Universal Soldier?

I think I read the book you mention! I thought about it recently but could not remember the name

Here is an alternative Piped link(s): https://piped.video/wIH5JioDrHM

I'm open-source, check me out at GitHub.

That's incredible, I was aware of the tileman mode plug in, but this is inspired.

There is debate about how the therapy works and whether it is more effective than other established treatments.[1][5] The eye movements have been criticized as having no scientific basis.[6] The founder promoted the therapy for the treatment of PTSD, and proponents employed untestable hypotheses to explain negative results in controlled studies.[7] EMDR has been characterized as a pseudoscientific purple hat therapy (i.e., only as effective as its underlying therapeutic methods without any contribution from its distinctive add-ons).[8]

I read about that fifteen years ago and dismissed it as pseudoscience. Wikipedia confirms. Pass (thanks though, don't mean to be rude)

Because it can lead to treatment for human suffering. He says it in his post

It honestly was too scary for me. I don’t do horror games. The angler fish in the main game was almost too much for me

Maybe the snail meme was a CIA guerilla training operation.

so aliens are actually just big snails, like the Voth from Star Trek

Interesting

For every memory that you noticed you forgot there are a thousand that you forgot without noticing. I'm guessing here.

You ever read "there is no anti-memetics division" by qntm?

It's good science fiction . He explores the subject of memory, deleting memory, etc. They have drugs for erasing memory, drugs for making it so you can't forget, demons that eat memory, certain kinds of information that resist being remembered... It's fascinating stuff.

It's probably at your request, to help you get rid of a horrible / painful memory (comedy skit).

I wonder if a general approach to inducing amnesia would be the best approach.

I think that we always take what we've got - what we see, memories - no matter how flimsy, and stitch together a plausible narrative from that.

So the amnesia doesn't have to be very precise. Our amnesiator could basically be just a brain damage ray

Probably a racing snail.

Exactly the reason they had to fund this project.

Cheaper than the lawsuit.

Lol, I can see it now.

“Im going to sit here for 8-12 hours and watch where this snail goes today.”

Sorry couldn’t resist.

There was a period during the Chinese Communist revolution that basically labeled a lot of modern science as capitalist propaganda.

There's a book series that starts with that event, and is the inciting event that caused a group of scientists to basically invite a hostile race of aliens to earth to wipe out and rebuild society.

I forget the name, it's by Cixin Liu

Edit: The Three Body Problem is the first book

Peak human.

How many dogs and chimpanzees are you willing to murder for the human trial to fail in phase 2?
