@naviyastube It would not be morally right with ir without technology.
Humans do it all the time by “imposing” the same religious beliefs on our children
The most beautiful …
The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and all science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead: his eyes are closed.”
– Albert Einstein
do u guys think its …
do u guys think its morally right to use technology to influence another persons judgmental decisions???
I recon it could have a very adverse affect if it gets to a extremist group (terrorist, guerrilla fighters) at the same time it would be great if they can use it to rehabilitate the prisoners (mental disorders, patients)
Don’t believe her!
…
Don’t believe her!
She makes you believe that her magnetic pulses can influence your decisions, but the statistics that she claims would show this does not seem to indicate a significant impact of the magnetic pulse (1 candidate difference, no repeats of the experiment, etc.).
This is brilliant: demonstrate that it does not work, but make people believe that you actually can do it.
ah that makes a lot …
ah that makes a lot of sense, thanks a lot.
quite probably some …
quite probably some RTPJ are a bit bigger or smaller than others. but most are pretty much the same.
what really differs is how specialized they are and how active they get when you give them these specific problems. you saw that in her talk. you also saw that the RTPJs must become specialized over time. this means that if a child is not stimulated to develope the RTPJ (ie because no contact to humans,child soldier,etc) then it will have a less developed RTPJ as an adult.
How is it that some …
How is it that some people have a lower or underdeveloped RTPJ than others. What happened during its development that promoted growth or lack thereof in this area? Is it the same as some people being more athletically gifted than others? Pease I MUST KNOW!
how did she know I …
how did she know I was curious about this?
thats some crazy …
thats some crazy shit
Thats crazy…
Thats crazy…
Smart
But what …
Smart
But what about kids?

haha!
wtf? if grace did …
wtf? if grace did that, it would be considered attempted murder!
Yeah?
Yeah?
I suspect that some …
I suspect that some people weren’t really paying close enough attention and thought that, in the accident scenario, Grace thought the powder was sugar despite it being labeled as poison, rather than because it was then labeled as sugar.
I got a little lost when she described it, myself, needing to watch it again.
such a beautiful …
such a beautiful and smart girl. very enertaining and informative. thanks
thats stupid, she …
thats stupid, she didnt mean to kill her and she thought it was sugar, how does she diserve blam? the person who thought it was poison but gave it to here and she was ok, she deserves less blame?
