Just don't freeze people in prison as punishment, ok? I've seen how that goes. Before you know it, we've got Stallone knitting things.
And did you see what happened to sex? And pooping? And burgers?
Hey everyone, this guy doesn't know how to use the 3 seashells!
Sex-pooping??? Yowza!
So that’s what the three seashells are for!
That's how they got NRS and UBT.
Perfectly?
I guess we understand more about the brain than I thought. 🤔
Perfectly to what end? Is this a teaser for season two of "three body problem"?
Disney must be excited
Disney is dead. You'd have to freeze the brain with the chemical described in the paper protecting the tissue, otherwise tissues become mush when thawed.
breathes sigh of relief
It was a joke
So are we going to turn dead peoples brains into wetware?
Fallout explored this concept with Robobrains. They were more powerful / useful than the comparatively primitive computer systems of the time.
Feels like a business opportunity to me
Very interesting result but it's sad reading about having a 9 month old baby's brain tissue being cut up into 2-3mm chunks. I didn't know that brain tissue extraction was used to treat seizures. With the retraction of some papers in China due to ethics of samples being taken from unwilling minority groups I was hoping to see a bit more about where the samples came from in the paper.

it's so bizarre that they can delete half a brain lobe and still function, and in some cases thrive. It's the best argument I've seen for Pribram's holographic brain theory, which I don't endorse but find fascinating.
This Demolition Man reboot sucks.
The rebuttal is here.
Works so well that it is currently the republican front runner for the presidency badum boom
