Backyard Brains Shows You How to Remote Control a Cockroach (Video)
This is our second video starring Backyard Brains (Motto: "Neuroscience for Everyone!"). The first one was pretty lab-oriented, with a twitching roach leg here and there. This one has more roaches, with most of them crawling on command. Will the DoD see this and decide to make cockroach soldiers? Or roboroach bomb detectors and defusers? Or cockroach drone pilots? Anything's possible these days. But meanwhile, relax and enjoy learning about roboroaches and watching how, with little circuit boards on their little backs, they scurry hither and yon under control of their human masters. WARNING: Excessively squeamish people should not watch this video, but should stick to the transcript.
Holy shit man, stop bringing religion into the public space. Americans since Bush I have been doing this, and the western world is sick and tired of it. Scurry back into the backwater hillbilly-hole where you came from, in order to celebrate your judeo-christian monster god every Sunday, but leave us engineers, technicians,scientists and general atheist or near-atheist public unmolested by the intellectual stench of your monotheistic belchings.
Religous speak to God. Insane are spoken to by God. When all shut up, one can finally hear Shostakovich in peace
