I knew a guy at university who smoked everyday. And before he took exams or tests, he would do a bong hit to settle his nerves.

He got a 1st in Chemistry.

There is such a thing as over stimulation. I'm rather sensitive to stimulation and become uncomfortable quite quickly around bright lights, strong smells, loud films, large grouos if people, ect. The flush of dopamine causes too much stimulation and we sensitive souls become too aroused, our thoughts become too loud and overlap each other and we become confused, dissoriented and function poorly. It's quite uncomfortable.

In the uk its a non thing. 50% of my friends are atheists. Its such a non issue that it hardly ever comes up. The first time i had a problem is when i couldnt have a church wedding because I couldnt morally profess a belief in a christian god. My mum in law was very very unhappy. In fact ive felt socially threatened amongst my developer friends when I have been inable to say that I am atheist (I think in a certain sense God is the world and in another sense it also silly to make a claim for or against god, since I believe its impossible to say anything for certain). That opinion gets me ridiculed!

Lol. This wasn't dreaming. This was posturing. It was America puffing themselves up to look big when confronted with the threat of the USSR. You have to dig deep to find the dreamers, you can sometimes find thier writing on the subway walls or the tenement halls. Or see them standing by lone sea breakers and desolate streams. Don't worry a new tune will be along soon. No one knows where from, thats part of the charm. Wait for the next dream, the OP posted a dream that is dying.

I think its much more likely it was an accademic working around this area in the years leading up to bitcoin. Staying anonymous is an extremely clever and mature thing to do, I'd say whoever it is is 30 years old +. Possibly someone notable in the field but I'd say more likely not, it's a radical idea, unconventional thinkers have a hard time in academia in general. So my wild unfounded guess is: someone who did a phd in something similar, worked within a university for a while, left for the corporate world. Got bored and couldnt stop thinking about the ideas from his phd. Ruminated for 1 - 10 years and finally put pen to paper.

I think some believers see a steady state universe. Life then becomes a boltzman brain. But I think panspermia is likely a thing and I think life naturally arises in open dissipative systems. Get a rock, water, and a heat source and wait a few million years...

Not for price reasons. Its because the more wave guides you super glue together the more image disruption you get. It's allready blocking a significant proportion of the light, not to mention the splitting out of colors.

"Science is dead" Poor Stacey. He is trying to be reasonable in the face of ideology.

All the comments advising caution are unpopular. I didnt expect hacker news people to be so gung ho. But then again maybe I should have expected hubris.

I still dont get it. Is this sending signals into the severed spinal cord from an artificial device? If so, how is training going to help? Is it reading from one end of the spinal chord and transfering to the other?

I have the same thing. Preople look at me like i'm crazy and tell me that I should be careful not to hurt myself. I make a half hearted effort yo poiny them in the direction of some studies like the above, but mostly people arent smart/knowledgable enough to understand.

Eh? What does conceptually mean?

You want me to give you my best ideas? Lol, no. I can create them myself thanks.

Why is this on hacker news?
