Scientists Achieve Mental Body-Swapping
SpaceAdmiral notes the news that scientists have succeeded in convincing experiment subjects that a mannequin's body is their own, and even feeling at home in the body of someone of the opposite sex. The effect could prove useful in virtual reality applications and in robot technology. Here's the paper on PLoS ONE.
[...] your typical hyper-complicated (to make it seem intelligent when it is in fact simply ridiculous) anime[...]
- hyper-complicated: What idiots say when they are unable to understand things that go a bit over the average Joe's head.
- ridiculous: What idiots say when they lack the phantasy to understand how this is possible.
Seriously. How many great movies god destroyed by retarded critics and watchers who did not get it?
"Revolver" is one example. It's a brilliant movie. But you require a brain for it. And it did not even made it to german cinemas, because most british people did not understand it and therefore hated it (instead of themselves).
Or Ju-On (1&2). You have to have phantasy to feel the horror in it. Someone with a numb mind (like a friend of mine) hated it. He told me that "nothing was happening", while in fact tons of shit was happening just above the subconcious level. He's more of a gore type.
And then they praise total "explain everything and show it right in your face so you fuckin' get it" trash like Hellboy and Saw.
Good thing you at least hated the Saw sequels
.
Let me make a quick judgement: From my standpoint and the information you gave me about you, you seem to be trash yourself. :P
Any sufficiently advanced intelligence is indistinguishable from stupidity.
even feeling at home in the body of someone of the opposite sex
Feel at home? I'd never move out!
Key word here is feel.
Yeah, yeah. The low road.
