I see it as in most cases little more than a hobby or fulfilling ones curiosities, as opposed to something that will benefit us.
what kind of "help" would you want?
i can foresee genetherapy to minimize impacts for children as well as possible improvement for adults.
Complete social change, in other words for society to be tipped upside down and a new society system to take hold.
im working on a satellite lazerbeam o death... as we speak
you should be able to start giving me names any day now
Processive elimination, yummy!
for the stuff i am doing....
i hope there is a way to treat kids during this time frame when they are young and these synapses are maturing and setting the lower and upper thresholds of your sensory abilities and learning abilities and supply proteins that help boost the function of these synapses.
hopefully, treatment can be limited for this time time frame and after some time... you go off of the treatment cause your synapse networks are done maturing and go you about your life.
when you are young at at this point in your life... your sensory networks are "coming online" and it's very connected to certain learning abilities such as spatial learning (not getting lost)... fear conditioning (not jumping at loud scarey noises or attaining a healthy appropriate fear response)... auditory learning (being able to discern voices... distinguish and identify sounds)... visual learning... linking up visual cues and being able to manipoulate things and infer info from it)
diff parts of the brain are associated with all these sensory networks and early learnings aspects.... these types of synapses are found in all these brain regions.
i dont know how increasing the effeciency of these processes would change a person... but i see it as helping.... at the very least for extreme cases.
would probably work best in children when these processes are still being formed... but i bet there could be improvement for adult performance too
it's all personal (or parental choice)
so, if you're still so inclined, you can still say go fuck yourselves... but just like you expect people to respect your difference of opinion... you have to respect theirs.
(and i dont mean OP here that I'm responding to in this reply, just to those who are saying fuck (ME) you)
