Schizophrenia

No two people suffer from schizophrenia in the exact same way. But to receive the DSM-IV diagnosis of schizophrenia, that person must manifest serious, long-lasting decline in the ability to care for himself or herself, work, and connect socially with other people, they also must manifest at least two out of the following five categories of symptoms: grossly disorganized or catatonic behavior, hallucinations, delusions, disorganized speech, and negative symptoms. … The most common types of delusions in schizophrenia are delusions of persecution, which can be beliefs that others are plotting against you; delusions of grandeur, which are beliefs in one’s own extraordinary importance, for example, that one is the Presidnet of the United States; and delusions of being controlled, such as believing one’s movements or thoughts can and are being controlled by radio waves or by invisible wires in puppet like fashion.

a resurgence in extreme asceticism and advanced yogic control of the nervous system is likely to occur as a result of such technology entering into widespread use. These systems were originally (partly) designed to transcend limitations of the impure “animal” body, and it’s resulting instincts and desires. I wonder if we will see a new generation of monkish saints who seclude themselves from society to meditate alone in the desert to overcome the “demons” intruding in them from the modern age.

No, that’s just a bonus!

I have more to say, but I haven’t had my coffee.

Another program had the electric current timed to music. My head was pulsating against my will, getting jerked around on my neck. I became so dizzy I could barely stand. I had to turn it off.

NTT researchers suggested this may be a reflection of my lack of musical abilities. People in tune with freely expressing themselves love the sensation, they said.

“We call this a virtual dance experience although some people have mentioned it’s more like a virtual drug experience,” said Taro Maeda, senior research scientist at NTT. “I’m really hopeful Apple Computer will be interested in this technology to offer it in their iPod.”

[...] They maintain that the point is not to control people against their will.

If you’re determined to fight the suggestive orders from the electric currents by clinging to a fence or just lying on your back, you simply won’t move.

But from my experience, if the currents persist, you’d probably be persuaded to follow their orders. And I didn’t like that sensation. At all.

That’s great! So your options will be either to obey the commands or become completely paralyzed. Goddamn this stuff makes me want to throw up!
