  Wait, you're telling me that a highly sensitive organ that maintains a complicated electromagnetic and chemical signaling system within a medium of fragile and compressed axions is difficult to tweak with grossly tuned omnidirectional fields?! Surely, you jest.

  Nicely put. I'd venture that a lot of the "plug in and go" crowd might be better served with some vigorous exercise rather than electrical stimulation. At least one of the two has viable, peer reviewed studies and results to consider. But hey, Darwin Awards ain't going to write themselves.

    In addition to vigorous exercise, add in all the promising results from studies on mindfulness meditation as well. But clearly the cyberpunk aesthetic, and techno-solutionism is what is motivating here, it's not the evidence.

      I'd never have thought there would be anyone who'd want to live in a Peter Watts novel, but here we are.

        Governments seem to think 1984 is an instruction manual so this is not uncommon.
