  • No, seriously. If you’re at or near the surface of the water, yeah there’s going to be some pressure, but nothing even close to the pressure needed to crush a human (ruling out water hammer and such since that wouldn’t reasonably be possible in such a situation.)

    You’re aware things like the diving bell exist, right? And they deal with pressures many times the pressure we’re talking about here. Hell, you can free dive to the depths we are talking about, no equipment needed.

  • Wait, I’m confused. Assuming you were able to make the hole and seal some sort of connection a-la boarding in a spaceship in a sci-fi show, why would you be crushed in the process of boarding the ship?

  • I mean, technically we’ve been playing around with cloud seeding and such which is about the only thing I can think of that would even come close to what she is talking about. But it’s by no means a common occurrence.

  • I don’t know how you could possibly exist in the current world with that mindset. The majority of the current modern world is built atop things slavers said and did. It’s an unfortunate truth, but one you can’t deny.

  • So jail them on funding those ventures. Thought crimes are a bad thing, no matter who you direct them at.

  • Oh lordy, please tell me it’s at least not humid in there?

  • I mean, let’s be honest here. In high school there was always at least one overly good looking guy everyone thought would become a model.

    Doesn’t excuse the teacher for raping him though. I can be around beautiful people all day long and manage to not have sex with them just fine, nevermind the act being illegal.

  • To be clear, I’m not claiming all depression can’t be influenced from external factors. And any BCI claiming to solve all depression should be treated like the plague. But there are types of depression that are solely a chemical imbalance that cannot be corrected through external means. And yeah, the “all depression is just a chemical imbalance” narrative is horribly flawed. But to claim none of them are a chemical imbalance is just as bad.

    Our current treatment for such types of depression are essentially still in the stone ages. Throw something at it, see what happens, adjust as needed. If a BCI can work around such a situation and offer a direct and targeted approach to the issue, and it goes through extensive testing, I don’t see why this wouldn’t be a good potential solution.

  • Tell me you don’t understand what depression is without telling me you don’t understand what depression is. You can be depressed while living for free on a beach with no responsibilities. To suggest you can fix everyone’s depression with external changes is the height of “just go outside and you’ll feel better.”

  • 6GHz compatible devices are already being sold. If your phone is new-ish it likely supports it, and many routers already have it.

    This isn’t a “next gen” problem, it’s a “current gen bleeding edge” problem.

  • Lmao. Yeah, the government is going to implement this? Assuming it is actually secure, when do you expect this to release? A decade from now?
