    Amazing the moderation you've got here. Yea, here's an example, nicotine supplements are nicotine. Using them has a lower success rate than cold turkey and there is no social motivation for quitting your nicotine gum. Psychology - the real trick for treating any sort of behavioral issue is so completely underrated, because very few stand to profit from the truth and our entire system of advertising would collapse without the veil of mind bending psychological bullshitting.

    this is what PJ needs to do, start a legal defense resource that actually gives a fucking shit, so when a C.E.O. decides to give a shit she has protections against shitbag shareholders who will burn her at the stake for not offering her first born (more likely everyone else's) to the almighty dollar. I think the why of this situation is way more interesting than the what.

  17. Re:What I have been telling people. on Nintendo Warns 3D Games Can Ruin Children's Eyes · · Score: 0

    interestingly enough, if the ocular distance is adjusted accordingly, watching kid movies as an adult may very well make you feel like a kid again, unless of course you watched a bunch of 3d slasher movies as a child, which presumably would make growing into an average interocular distance similar to feeling like a serial killer. I know I'm well beyond my formal education here, but I'm certain that having ignored the hypnotic effects of television and video games up to this point is in no way comparable to the potential of a 3d environment which emulates a trigger point hard-wired into the child's growth cycle.

    As an experiment, take the average ocular distance for an adult chimp, force a young chimp to participate in audio-visual hallucinations designed for an adult chimps average ocular distance. Exposure to such hallucinations should be greatest (rather extreme actually) when the chimp reaches toddler hood and slowly ween the chimp off as it approaches an average adult ocular distance. Presumably, you should be able to implant experiences in the chimp that will come to the front of his psyche as it reaches that particular moment of maturity when his real ocular distance matches that of the 3d experiences he was provided with as a toddler.

    So, you're saying children will have a vastly below average interocular distance yet virtually all of their brains will be conditioned to adjust towards average for around 2-4hrs a day regardless of the interocular distance they eventually grow into. I think you've made the case that the 'average' interocular distance is best applied as a function of the age of the audience - possibly tied into ESRB or similar rating system.

    On the other hand, I can see this as possibly having positive effects on things like geometric intelligence or correcting the oddity that is two dimensional dreaming.

    When content is monopolized democracy dies outright, when a democratic party practices deception in order to sway votes, it is not democracy. A democracy where your vote is cast between two lies is not a democracy at all. Try some critical thinking, I swear, it's not as difficult as the television makes it sound. Accepting your opinions as spoon fed to you by the party approved media monster is bullshit, you should demand more.

    msnbc, fox news etc. are fraudulant, it's not a matter of difference of opinion. For example a murderer does not get off on murder charges just because his opinion is that he should. In other words, fuck you.

    My daughter used to kick the shit out of my son at chess until she figured out "women don't play as well or as much or whatever", it's headlines like this that make it - not fucking worth it, for little girls as young as 4 years old. If there was a chess tournament at her school though I'm sure she'd be in the top performers easy.

    First OpenBSD is Canadian software, Cointelpro is actually about the FBI fucking up within their jurisdiction - not outside of it. Magic Lantern and Carnivore both are within the FBI's mandate and they are pretty straight forward script kiddie type shit.
