ZizOiz Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 by manipulating the devices that read your mind, and then create a robotic bug which goes into your brain, and then disconnects the good part of your brain x) Ack! Not the brain! Hmm, I find this cool and horrifying at the same time. Its kinda cool that it brings the idea of the "mental photograph" into reality, but it kinda means that a brain is just as hackable as a computer but perhaps not quite as editable. Hopefully. stuff I said. Same stuff as above. Or they could shoot you for having opinions they don't like... so very true. Quote Click on my signature image for my gallery | hmmmm...

TheVoid Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 Whoa, cool tech! Even better, some people invented a machine that can help blind people see. It consists of a camera, a cable, and a little plate placed on the tongue that sends electronic signals to the brain. They use the tongue because it has so many nerves in it. It's only in black and white at the moment though. Problem with that, most people that get it commit suicide. The reason: they've been blind for so long that its just too much for them to take in, thus, they kill themselves. :o Quote [My DeviantART] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZizOiz Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 Let's hear it for the brain stem! I'm pretty sure disconnecting the part of your brain that stores your morals would have some bad consequences, though. Quote Click on my signature image for my gallery | hmmmm...

ZizOiz Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 are they? or are they survival instincts written down? Would things taboo around the world be considered a part of moral code, or merely outlawed by society? what is the difference between something we call amoral and something we call taboo? Is there one? Taboo seems mostly dictated by survival, therefore, if taboo things and amoral things are the same, then morals are dictated by survival as well, not society. :?: Quote Click on my signature image for my gallery | hmmmm...

david.atwell Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 Taboo is largely decided by society; Morality is largely not. Dogs have a sense of injustice, for one thing: http://www.guardian.co.uk/science/2008/ ... -behaviour So, if dogs (who have no society) have mores, humans do, too. Besides, humans don't need to be taught about injustice. They know about immorality from birth. Quote The Doctor: There was a goblin, or a trickster, or a warrior...

ZizOiz Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 but some things that are taboo are considered taboo globally, too far for one culture to have enough influence to enforce its ideals on other societies, so taboo must be to some extent instinctual, as there are similar taboos from wildly different cultures. Dogs also have a social structure, alpha, beta, all the way down to omega pack member. But I do agree with you that morals are not dictated by society. turning in for the night.

Bobofthedead Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 Oy Gevalt. What was the prize then? Oh, and about morals: I say that the most basic of morality, such as not killing, and the ideas of altruism which allow humanity to function as a society are hard-wired into the brain, but the more difficult concepts, such as problems concerning property and feelings of others have to be taught: look at babies - they can interact from a very early age, but not are not socially apt until older and more experienced in social interactions with people other than parents.

Simon Brown Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 Out of interest, do you test random tags to see if new ones have appeared. The tag is currently being tested and being re-written by BoltBait (according to DA). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Brown Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 An advantage over the spoiler tag is that it doesn't take up space and can be used to hide images and extra text which would normally clutter the post.
