     1.7 -This is a list of all the ideas I've had that I felt like writing down
     1.8 -for the past ~ 8 years. Some of them could be practical inventions and
     1.9 -are "just" waiting for that 95% perspiration to bring them to
    1.10 -fruition, some are ideas for science fiction, and some are simple
    1.11 -observations. Some are really only for my own personal notes and are
    1.12 -not meant to be comprehensible. They are arranged roughly in reverse
    1.13 -chronological order, with the most recent ideas at the top of the
    1.14 -list. The ones at the bottom of the list are heavily influenced by my
    1.15 -time at MIT.

    1.17 -If you find some of these interesting and would like to collaborate on
    1.18 -them with me or discuss them in more detail, I'd love to hear from
    1.19 -you. You can email me at ideas@aurellem.org.

    1.26  There's no end to what a man can accomplish if he doesn't care about
    1.27  getting credit.

    1.30 +- becomming alive :: upload faces challenges to grow into they type of
    1.31 +     person that can join the greater society -- a god. They have to
    1.32 +     go though quests that replicate all the things that humanity had
    1.33 +     to accomplish, like going to the moon, by themselves.

    1.39 +- butterfly drone :: if big butterflies used to exist, then maybe we
    1.40 +     could make butterfly-inspired drones!
    1.41 +
    1.42 +- methylation sex symmetry breaking :: So, human cells have
    1.43 +     methylation patterns that encode male/female origin. If you
    1.44 +     combine two male patterns, the fetus grows "too fast" and
    1.45 +     dies. Two female patterns causes the fetus to enter a "vegatable"
    1.46 +     state and fail to develop. Evolutionary biologists will say that
    1.47 +     this reflects the asymmetry of energy investement for creating
    1.48 +     offspring. If that's true, then species that cast-spawn will lack
    1.49 +     this symmetry, and give clues about how to remove it in
    1.50 +     humans. If even cast spawners like sea urchins have it, then that
    1.51 +     means there's something deeper going on!
    1.52 +
    1.53 +- reverse cannulation perfusion :: you put the organ you want to
    1.54 +     perfuse in an airtight chamber with a pool of the stuff you want
    1.55 +     to perfuse. You cannulate some veins and lead tubes form to
    1.56 +     outside of the chamber. You pump in air and perfusate, and the
    1.57 +     increasing air pressure in the chamber forces perfusate through
    1.58 +     the organ. For times when you don't want to cannulate the inputs
    1.59 +     -- they can be ragged, or there can be many of them. You still
    1.60 +     have to guide the veins to the outside of the chamber, but
    1.61 +     depending on the use case this might be far easier than
    1.62 +     tradational cannulation. 
    1.63 +
    1.64 +- very slow physiological pressure perfusion :: less extreme example
    1.65 +     of the "pausing" trick -- just keep the perfusion running and
    1.66 +     don't put the perfusion target into the liquid as deep.
    1.67 +
    1.68  - whole brain perfusion embedding :: Do the standard EM embedding
    1.69       protocol, but skip the osmium step, and use the "perfusion
    1.70       pausing" method to prevent overextraction during the dehydration
