Great video, do make more! As BLTC's page says, the abolitionist project is held up not by technical challenges but by social ideology. Continuing to spread this information will help bring about change sooner.

"Don't you see the danger inherent in what you're doing here? Genetic power is the most awesome force the planet's ever seen, but you wield it like a kid that's found his dad's gun. Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether they could that they didn't stop to think if they should. It's a violent, penetrative act that scars what it explores. What you call discovery, I call the rape of the natural world." Dr. Malcolm

huhhh what are you talking about? can you be more vague?

[Jessusslapper]

there are peolpe who get pleasure from others pain. this could help peolpe but this could

also be used to bring endless pain to millions

if this techniogy falls into the hands of peolpe who only want to further their own agenda like

* a corupt goverment

*terrorist

* or the D.M.V

These motivators can be replaced with another feeling... Doesn't have to be that raw experience that one is forced to endure! Also, humans can be genetically programmed to be self-sufficient - so if isolated, they won't starve/go crazy!

As with your repugnance to unnatural artifacts: nothing you have really is natural. Your haircut is unnatural. Your clothing is unnatural. Basically if you shave, that is unnatural as well. Natural = not equal to = Good. Natural is neutral. As simple as that!

Why would only a few people have these new powers and abilities? If you plot technological developments over the last 100 years, you will see they are adopted by larger proportions of the society with increasing speed. One example is Africa skipping landline and going straight to cell phones. Another is how fast people starting using the web, whereas it took much longer for everyone to get a TV. Also, many who abuse power are looking for pleasure. So why abuse it when experiencing sublime bliss?

is time to eat through a similar abstraction, where the raw feeling of starving is removed. There are many things we intellectually know which are detached from feelings. So why not have hunger/thirst/pain replaced in a similar fashion?

Alternatively, in the far future, I can imagine a network of microscopic implants throughout our entire nervous system, connected to our muscles, which will make us move away from extreme heat sources (ie hot oven) without our brain doing any processing at all.

Very good question.

We can program robots to recharge themselves when batteries or low, and we can program them to avoid things like excessive heat. All that is needed for the latter is a microprocessor, motors, and a thermometer. Of course computers do not feel pain, so in principal it is possible to avoid it while feeling nothing.

Many of the computations your brain performs are done without conscious knowledge.. language processing, driving your car, etc. So in principal you can "know" it
