[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.
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.
[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.
true story, mun read this article, it was pretty nifty
