why would i ever need to talk again? if we could all express ourselves with music alone, would we ever need our cruddy languages ever again?
i assume this is unfortunately a LONG LONG way away from the hands of digital djs. otherwise youll be hearing the epic, deathly, dnb orchestra that constantly pounds waves of bassline through my head in no time ![]()
empathic powers, cool!
that would be awesome if i can blast my music in peoples head, i would find a old woman and play some death metal. be kinda cool to watch her freak out
I bought the Neural Impulse Actuator of OCZ.
Itâs also a gaming device which lets you control games via brainwaves and facial muscles.
Here is review of it:
http://www.nforcershq.com/ocz-nia-neural-impulse-actuator-review/
After 2 weeks of practicing I could at least control all brain fingers (alpha and beta waves) at once. The facial muscle thing worked better. BUT you need to be relaxed all the time or the controllers go crazy.
You can set a keyboard-command to a special amount of activity on one finger but even after the 2 weeks I could only have it show 100% or zero so itâs just a switch between on and off.
I even tried Traktor with it.
The CUE/PLAY was set on the focused deck to my facial muscles so when I clenched my teeth it started playing or stopped the selected deck. I selected the deck via thinking which worked sometimes better, sometimes worse but overall not accurate enough to use any of itâs functions for a life performance.
I dreamed about being the first Mind DJ, but 8 buttons, grounding problems (had to touch the cable all the time) and the accuracy make this even if you practice a lot IMPOSSIBLE!
Another issue is staying relaxed while people bother you and hormones shoot through all your body.
Describing this was pretty difficult with my bad English, so if you still have questions, feel free to ask.
I think you described it well HedgeHog ![]()
I have a friend who is actually doing the beta testing on these devices, pity i have not caught up with him since he started or i would have to add ![]()
This is a huge part of the future of digital djing and computing though
once its perfected there will be nothing stopping us ! Until then, we though we will be sticking with hardware interfaces !
âIt is human-kindâs destiny to merge with machines, furthering evolution of the species and facilitating our survival in the forthcoming global cataclysm.â - Moldover
deep. how is it we all know of the approaching cataclysm? i blame quantum physics
Hell no, I blame Taoism.
Sounds strange, but if you have read both, you can see the similarities.
And Taoism was already in itsâ place long before the first scientist ever started Quantum Phisics.

it would seem many studies of the mind and reality come to the same conclusion, just from different perspectives. the whole 2012 thing is interesting. ive talked to a few full believers here in nz. very interesting conversations
perhaps quantum physics is just the scientific, mathematical representation of exactly what every religion has ever talked about
distant sound of Richard Dawkins spinning in his grave
Cosmic.
Youâre talking about Erich von Dänicken right?

I can imagine Stephen Hawkin having a ball too. ![]()
lol - richard dawkins is a champ
I wonder if he can evolve me a third arm ?
You havenât got one yet? :eek:
Very interesting thread! Keep it going.. ![]()
I completely disagree with Moldover on merging with machines.
Human beings do not need to meld with machines to survive the impending cataclysm. We didnât need to be melded with machines for the ice age, and we wonât need to be for the next one. I am a firm believer that machines, and our reliance on them, are causing us to lose our sense of humanity, instead locking us into a never ending spiral of inhumanity.
For example, if we rely on machines when the cataclysm hits, to such a degree, what happens when they run out of fuel? What happens when they break? We no longer know how to hunt on a large scale, our societies are not based around the Earth, they are based around the thing sitting in front of us.
Iâm just as susceptible to the cataclysm as anyone. If I have melded with a machine I think I will be even more susceptible. Until we have completely self-aware and self-reparable machines that will be the case, and then we have a lot more problems.
Quantum physics and string theory are glorious things to finally giving something that could resemble a concrete answer to a lot of the universal questions weâve been plagued by. But, at the same time, I think there are answers we will never understand, no matter how deep we look.
Besides, I wanna see the bottom of the Ocean first, and see what creatures lurk down there.
Yeah Iâm with DvlsAdvct:
Now matter how far we go in science.
There will still be the needs of any human, like self-fulfillment or love.
Why is there so much porn on the internet if we develop to machines?
Here is the full quote:
"There will be no war between artificial and organic intelligences.
It is human-kindâs destiny to merge with machines, furthering evolution of the species and facilitating our survival in the forthcoming global cataclysm.
THE STREETS WILL FLOW WITH THE BLOOD OF THE NONBELIEVERS."

Hedgehog, once there are machines that can adequately replicate human interaction for sex our society (not nation, society), as far as Iâm concerned, will have reached the levels of excess enjoyed by the Romans shortly before their fall.
But lord, I think we are kind of taking this out of context. If you change the phrases the discourse becomes a lot more logical. If you change âhuman-kindâ to DJ, âspeciesâ to âtechniqueâ and âglobal cataclysmâ to âtechnological upgradeâ
Though I do believe that the streets will, in fact, flow with the blood of nonbelievers.
yay unnecessary philosophy
Glad that cleared that up !
Also, I too agree that the streets will flow with the blood of the non-believers ![]()
