    1.12 +      somewhere else using sshfs. Sort of "normalizes" file
    1.13 +      permissions without having to use root, and is weird. Could also

    1.25 +- value of cancer :: what of value is lost with an easy cancer-cure?
    1.26 +
    1.27 +- blood :: blood is the "wires" that connect organs to each other and
    1.28 +     impedance match the services that organs provide to other
    1.29 +     organs. A heart, per se, does not need blood but instead access
    1.30 +     to the filtering powers of a kidney; blood just connects the
    1.31 +     kidney cells to the heart cells. That's why "perfusing w/ blood"
    1.32 +     is entirely missing the point.

    1.40 +
    1.41 +- glove screen :: for driving directions, etc. Better than a watch!

    1.50 +     limitations in their own cognitive architectures.
    1.51 +
    1.52 +- kill with fire :: guy A fires fire blast, with a spell circle to
    1.53 +     maintain the magic. Opponent B just GRABS the magic and pulls MORE
    1.54 +     fire. Guy A's circle goes out of control and all his life force
    1.55 +     gets sucked out to supply more fire. B grabs the magic, crushes
    1.56 +     it, fires a concentrated red lightning bolt, and eats the
    1.57 +     rest. "You think that you can kill me, WITH FIRE!?"
    1.58 +

    1.67 +
    1.68 +- forgotten services :: use "ovbilion" somehow. Some sleeping drugs
    1.69 +     make you forget the hour or so before you go to bed. Use this to
    1.70 +     create forgotten services.

    1.73 +
    1.74 +- sleepy perfusion :: if brains naturally expand / contract depending
    1.75 +     on resting / awake state, we should investigate the EMs of brains
    1.76 +     fixed during "sleep" mode  and those fixed during "awake"
    1.77 +     mode. (while still using anesthetic of course).
    1.78 +
    1.79 +- shit flavored dog treats ::
    1.80 +
    1.81 +- fume hood incense :: so make sure the fume hood is working
    1.82 +
    1.83 +- infinity coin :: s.f. concept -- billions are uploaded by using
    1.84 +     osmium as a "mind uploading catalyst". osmium is put ino the
    1.85 +     brain, they brain is scanned, and the osmium is recycled. Then
    1.86 +     you make coins out of the osmium that has gone through billions
    1.87 +     of these cycles.
    1.88 +
    1.89 +- mamilian dive reflex as a method of preparing organs for cryopreservation ::
    1.90 +
    1.91 +- spinal encryption :: like an X server, except your body parts each
    1.92 +     run these servers. You all have clocks, and you have to sign your
    1.93 +     muscle commands with your private key in order to control your
    1.94 +     body. 
    1.95 +
    1.96 +- suicide note as a mental excercise :: from NPR, ted talk, teenagers, etc.
    1.97 +
    1.98 +- microscope clamp magnet ring thing ::
    1.99 +
   1.100 +- cup that fills from the bottom ::
   1.101 +
   1.102 +- pronouncaeble liscense plates ::
   1.103 +
   1.104 +- instant-awake vs natural awakening :: cognitive behavioural
   1.105 +     difference tells you important things about the waking process.
   1.106 +
   1.107 +- asethetics and personal identity :: if you go to germany, you're not
   1.108 +     the same person anymore.
   1.109 +
   1.110 +- arch linux diff cache :: should only download differences between
   1.111 +     the new package and the most rcent archive file. Can
   1.112 +     precalculate. Would make mirrors/upgrading so much faster.
   1.113 +
   1.114 +- low gravity perfusion :: then you can use cappaliary action. From
   1.115 +     this: http://www.wired.com/2015/01/coffee-cup-designed-let-astronauts-sip-espresso-space/
   1.116 +
   1.117 +- rational advertiting :: a new criteria for advertisting -- given
   1.118 +     same ad structure for two different produces, what structure
   1.119 +     leads to the most people picking the "optimal" choice.
   1.120 +
   1.121 +- autoclone bootstrapping :: to breed male with self: you make a clone
   1.122 +     of the male that's broken, male and female, the bootstrap with
   1.123 +     those gametes
   1.124 +
   1.125 +- position independent numbers :: like latin for numbers. You'd use
   1.126 +     color, endings, relative size, etc to determine what place the
   1.127 +     number has. Very convientnt for order or magnitude calculations.
   1.128 +
   1.129 +- dead man switch activated linux user account ::
   1.130 +
   1.131 +- embowlement :: condencending reference to embodiment
   1.132 +
   1.133 +- water staff  :: drinksy walking staff w/ water
   1.134 +
   1.135 +- melanin transfection ::
   1.136 +
   1.137 +- retention of neurotransmitters / other small molecules during fixation by use of an extracellular polymer such as PVP ::
   1.138 +
   1.139 +- machines :: Knowing we are machines does not diminish us; instead it
   1.140 +     opens our minds to the awe-inspiring complexity that is the human
   1.141 +     mind. Those who prefer to attribute consciousness to a "soul" or
   1.142 +     other metaphysical process are the ones who diminish man to a
   1.143 +     mere cartoon caricature.
   1.144 +
   1.145 +- why does glut change osmotic setpoints in cells :: perhaps either 1)
   1.146 +     It makes the membrane permeable to small molecules or 2)
   1.147 +     crosslinking proteins means less colagative effects.
   1.148 +
   1.149 +- Hemocyanin based blood washout solution :: for artificial blood, it
   1.150 +     can be hard to carry enough oxygen because haemoglobin needs to
   1.151 +     be in RBCs in order to effectively carry oxygen. However,
   1.152 +     hemocyanin, a copper based oxygen carrying protein, doesn't have
   1.153 +     this restriction, so it might make particurally good artificial
   1.154 +     blood. Might also be great for making oxygenated fixative
   1.155 +     solutions!  In fact, hemocyanin is more efficient than hemoglobin
   1.156 +     for carrying oxygen at low temperatures, perfect for
   1.157 +     cooling/blood washout! Hemocyanin could also serve to establish
   1.158 +     oncotic pressure in a blood washout solution since it weighs 75
   1.159 +     kilodaltons.
   1.160 +
   1.161 +- osmotic buffer :: polymer which polymerizes / splits apart in order
   1.162 +     to maintain the osmolality of a solution.
   1.163 +
   1.164 +- shoes w/ embedded computers :: and have little clickey things you
   1.165 +     operate with your big toe.
   1.166 +
   1.167 +- gb codec ::
   1.168 +
   1.169 +- ultrasonic cell disruptor to make foor ::
   1.170 +
   1.171 +- particle accelarator asd an awesome electron microscop ::
   1.172 +
   1.173 +- tolouadine blue pen :: use biological stains as dyes for ink pens?
   1.174 +
   1.175 +- clock stop explination :: you have a "visual buffer" which needs to
   1.176 +     fill up whenever you switch out from one scene to another. This
   1.177 +     is the clock stop illusion.
   1.178 +
   1.179 +- coffee ad space :: Your coffee stock was brought to you by google,
   1.180 +     the only company that brings you comfort and love in your harsh
   1.181 +     and heartless corporate world. This is majestic guerrila
   1.182 +     marketing. 
   1.183 +
   1.184 +- geo-synchro browsing :: you get a bunch of proxy servers, and then
   1.185 +     you visit websites and synchronize the views from each of these
   1.186 +     proxies into one view. Then you can see the differences by
   1.187 +     conutry/region. This is a way to experience the "neutral"
   1.188 +     internet by averging the effects of ip-tracing.
   1.189 +
   1.190 +- periodic table of genders :: arrange people by bahaviour, particular
   1.191 +     what sort of bonds they can form with other people.
   1.192 +
   1.193 +- ice cream protein synthesis ::
   1.194 +
   1.195 +- colored EM :: different heavy metals might possibly have different
   1.196 +     intensities for different electron acceleration voltages. So this
   1.197 +     could be the basis for colored EM images!
   1.198 +
   1.199 +- expansion microscopy dual :: this would be a process where you
   1.200 +     define a molecular scale object using larger microscopic
   1.201 +     components. Then nanotechnology goes through and replaces each
   1.202 +     "atomic macro block" with the appropriate atomic construct. That
   1.203 +     way you can use microscopic 3D printing and a special purpose
   1.204 +     form of nanotechnolical assembler to create any molecular
   1.205 +     arrangement. 
   1.206 +
   1.207 +- anoxic glut :: what happens when you try to fix tissues in an
   1.208 +     environment completely devoid of oxygen?
   1.209 +
   1.210 +- copper+EG :: if RBCs are rendered impermeabale to EG when Cu is
   1.211 +     present, then maybe you can destroy RBCs by a mixture of EG and
   1.212 +     Cu? 
   1.213 +
   1.214 +- qualia intuition explained :: let's say that you lacked the sense of
   1.215 +     smell. How could you learn what "acrid" means without it. How
   1.216 +     could you explain it to someone, without analogy to other
   1.217 +     smells. We mind-project this real linguistic separation into
   1.218 +     reality and get qualia.
   1.219 +
   1.220  - spinal relay :: you have a small air-gapped repeater built into your
   1.221       spine in order to help with spinal injury, connect with
   1.222       prosthetics, and to monitor/control your body. Also, you could
