[this look] You can't hear a hernia...you can hear a guy with a hernia but that's a different story.

[snaps her fingers] Oh oh, there was this one article I read, I thought of you... [trying to remember, closes both eyes as she plays back in her head what she was reading]

It was in one of those science Discovery magazines...about what it was like to be in someone else's head. They found that while telling a story, the intent listeners could anticipate the next part of the story just before they heard it, almost like they were in the story themselves. So the more you anticipate someone, the more inside their head you are.

More like the more attention you pay to someone, the easier they are to predict.

Yup.

They also had something about a machine that uses magnets to change a person's morals. [which the mun was quite surprised to find]
thetruthismine: (what's that supposed to mean)

A moral machine? Now that is a load of nonsense. I've seen one, knew a man who'd dedicated his life to the thing. Total science fiction. Couldn't even change a monkey.

[sits up a bit, interested] Did you try it? Did they have to attach electrodes to your head or something like that?
thetruthismine: (our minds are in sync)

[personal profile] thetruthismine 2011-01-15 03:14 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, on both counts. Ridiculous setup if you ask me.

[tries to nod seriously but failing, that grin says she's way too much of a sci-fi fan to not enjoy the image of Jane wired up like Frankenstein] Oh yes, ridiculous.
thetruthismine: (you're so dumb it amazes me)

[personal profile] thetruthismine 2011-01-15 03:20 am (UTC)(link)
Go ahead, laugh. But it still caught the bad guy.

[sips cocoa] And no....noticeable aftereffects?
