| fenn | tDCS is getting some press http://www.nature.com/news/2011/110413/full/472156a.html | 09:14 |
| JayDugger | Good morning, eveyone. | 09:21 |
| fenn | "no one stands to gain enough return from therapies that can be administered using just US$1,000 worth of off-the-shelf equipment" | 09:28 |
| fenn | am wondering how you manage to spend $1,000 on a current limited 9V power supply | 09:29 |
| fenn | oh boy a new thing to freak out about "Students might secretly 'electrodope' with tDCS before a university entrance exam to inflate their scores." | 09:31 |
| uniqanomaly | or TMS junkies | 09:49 |
| -!- klafka1 [~textual@cpe-66-66-10-44.rochester.res.rr.com] has quit [Quit: Computer has gone to sleep.] | 09:53 | |
| fenn | ah but the thing is TMS is a technically challenging device to construct | 09:54 |
| fenn | high voltage, fast switching, large currents | 09:54 |
| fenn | supposedly this tDCS can be as simple as a 9 volt battery, a resistor, and a wet sponge | 09:55 |
| uniqanomaly | yeah | 09:56 |
| * fenn reads http://network.nature.com/groups/naturenewsandopinion/forum/topics/3503 | 09:57 | |
| uniqanomaly | luddites vs progress, guess who always wins | 10:01 |
| fenn | luddites | 10:04 |
| uniqanomaly | charlie sheen always wins | 10:08 |
| uniqanomaly | ;p | 10:09 |
| fenn | you can't process charlie sheen without nootropic enhancement | 10:11 |
| uniqanomaly | ;]] | 10:11 |

| kanzure | i'm such an ass | 10:18 |
| kanzure | i'm going to have my phone autodial people | 10:18 |
| kanzure | "it has been X days since you have last called [Bryan Bishop]" | 10:18 |
| fenn | really? | 10:21 |
| kanzure | no :( but i should | 10:21 |
| kanzure | also root exploits for android are surprisingly easy to find/make/use | 10:22 |

| JayDugger | Good morning, Lukas. | 22:31 |
| -!- augur [~augur@129.2.129.33] has joined ##hplusroadmap | 22:46 | |
| Lukas__ | Is it just me or are Transhuman themes popping up more and more in popular culture? | 22:49 |
| kanzure | they have always been there | 22:52 |
| Lukas__ | Terminator, i-Robot, Bladerunner? | 22:57 |
| kanzure | how about "any b movie, ever" | 22:59 |
| JayDugger | Explain the transhuman themes in the Honda's 1968 classic, "Destroy All Monsters." | 23:00 |
| Lukas__ | lol | 23:00 |
| -!- klafka1 [~textual@cpe-66-66-10-44.rochester.res.rr.com] has quit [Quit: Computer has gone to sleep.] | 23:01 | |
| JayDugger | For extra credit, compare and contrast the role of Godzilla as transhuman in that film with the same character in "Godzilla Vs. Monster Zero." | 23:01 |
| kanzure | godzilla? GOD ZILLA | 23:02 |
| kanzure | c'mon | 23:02 |
| JayDugger | I don't buy "transhumanism as religion." | 23:02 |
| kanzure | so what? | 23:02 |
| kanzure | that's bullshit anyway | 23:02 |
| * kanzure sleeps | 23:03 | |
| JayDugger | Damn...put him to bed? | 23:03 |
| JayDugger | Ah well... | 23:03 |
| kanzure | my hours are really weird right now | 23:03 |
| Lukas__ | Who said transhumanism is a religion? | 23:03 |
| kanzure | i went to sleep at 5am but woke up at 11am, but now i'm back to something more normal? | 23:03 |
| JayDugger | Parallels get pointed out on occasion. | 23:03 |
| kanzure | Lukas__: look at the wikipedia page | 23:03 |
| JayDugger | Google will give you plenty. | 23:03 |
| Lukas__ | http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EozxDGm-gqA&feature=related (transhumanism in mainstream culture) | 23:04 |
| Lukas__ | http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t5Sd5c4o9UM (horrible song, mute it, seriously - nevertheless an example) | 23:04 |
| JayDugger | "OTOH, with an actual customer in LEO and a competitive supply chain there is no need for profound visions of manifest destiny - discuss." | 23:07 |
| JayDugger | Seriously? | 23:07 |
| JayDugger | In only 140 characters? | 23:08 |
| kanzure | anyone who complains about the 140 character limit on twitter must do so in more than 140 characters or else there complaint is null and void. | 23:08 |
| * kanzure really sleeps this time | 23:08 | |
| JayDugger | Back to the Godzilla film festival, then. | 23:15 |
| QuantumG | JayDugger, wake up | 23:30 |
| QuantumG | please | 23:31 |
| QuantumG | here's a treatise to go with my 140 characters: http://www.transterrestrial.com/?p=33169#comment-217067 | 23:32 |
| QuantumG | I honestly don't think it says much more. | 23:32 |
| JayDugger | Ah. I did miss something. | 23:38 |
| JayDugger | Thank you for the link. | 23:38 |
| QuantumG | that's not to say manifest destiny of some sort is unwelcome. | 23:40 |
| JayDugger | Yah...it worked for North America, after all. | 23:41 |
| QuantumG | I just don't think it should be the only argument... as it is quite unconvincing for quite a lot of people. | 23:41 |
| JayDugger | Agreed. Manifest Destiny is a nice idea, for the winning side, but it still took railroads. | 23:41 |
| JayDugger | I think Ken makes a big jump from multiple private habitats to calling settlement the next step. Not that I wouldn't happily move, mind. | 23:42 |
| QuantumG | he sure does.. but considering some of the stuff I've heard come out of his mouth, it's one of his less crazy thoughts. | 23:43 |
| JayDugger | Frontiers attract crazy people. :) | 23:43 |
| Lukas__ | We need to deal with that radiation problem first | 23:49 |
| JayDugger | Yes, and the annoying question of whether humans can reproduce off-Earth. | 23:50 |
| Lukas__ | still, there are organisms that can resist all sorts of ridiculous environments such as the Tardigrade or Deinococcus Radiodurans we just need to scale up | 23:53 |
| Lukas__ | I was even thinking that we could use the radiotrophic ability of melanotic fungi to produce energy for long distance trips | 23:54 |
| Lukas__ | again, still trying to find a way to scale up | 23:54 |
