I'd love to hear about it if you do. 1.6 1.7 -/There's no end to what a man can accomplish if he doesn't care about 1.8 -getting credit/ 1.9 +#+begin_quote 1.10 +There's no end to what a man can accomplish if he doesn't care about 1.11 +getting credit. 1.12 +#+end_quote 1.13 + 1.14 +- test dummies :: why don't we clone encephalic humans and use then to 1.15 + test /in vivo/ human organ systems and drugs? It 1.16 + would be ethical as long as there are women who are 1.17 + willing to host the clones, and it would be a 1.18 + trememdous resource for studying the human body. I 1.19 + see nothing wrong with it morally, since no one is 1.20 + suffering, and it stands to save many lives throught 1.21 + more advanced technology. 1.22 + 1.23 +- X-ray telepresence :: given that a doctor is operating on a patient 1.24 + via telepresence, one cool things you can do is shine X-rays into 1.25 + the patient to view the insides during real time. If the system 1.26 + was coupled with a baysean model of the layout of the structure, 1.27 + and the x-rays were only fired whenever the uncertaintity of the 1.28 + model reached a certain threshold, then the radiation damage 1.29 + and surgery risk could be minimized. 1.30 + 1.31 +- superfluid vascular system :: I wonder what would happen if you 1.32 + replaced the blood in a human with a superfluid. What would the 1.33 + physical dynamics be? Would the superfluid flow through the 1.34 + vasculature, or would it ignore it and travel through the cells, 1.35 + or something else entirely. Since superfluids need to be cold to 1.36 + retain their superfluidity, how would the dynamics change during 1.37 + perfusion of a superfluid, where the fluid gains and looses 1.38 + superfluidity as it goes deeper into the body and is cooled by 1.39 + superfluid from upstresm. In summary there are two things to 1.40 + simulate 1.) replace all blood in human with superfluid 1.41 + instantly. 2.) perfuse superfluid into human. 1.42 1.43 - projective guessing :: I think that we read and see things by 1.44 makeing a really good guess about what we're expecting to see,
