I don't mean it quite like that. Think for instance of a song that got stuck in your head. It probably hits some parts of it just right. What if we could fine tune that? What if we take a brain simulator, a synthesizer, and write a GA that keeps on trying to create a sound that hits some maximum? It's possible that we could make something that would get it stuck in your head, or tune it until it's almost a drug in musical form.

I've no experience with it, but I imagine it's like heroine or DMT or something like that. Wouldn't that come close to something that "hits some maximum"?

What you're talking about is getting pretty close to a Basilisk - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Langford#Basilisks https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Langford#Basilisks

      I don't recall what basilisks are, only that I burned it from memory for probably a good reason.
