|    invent a better tampon. so if only 1/3 o    |

      From: treon3verdery@gmail.com              GSK woodgrain kills bacteria, could there be a microtexture of fiber that       kills toxic shock bacteria making a tampon fiber type that has measurably less       risk? (then again it is probably the clots of gunk between the fibers decaying       that causes it, rather        than just sterilizing the thin film near the fibers)              Things from (funny.com), one edited.       Never answer an anonymous letter        On the other hand, you have different fingers.       If you don't like the content, go out and make some.       Corduroy pillows: They're making headlines!              Tony Robbins thing to increase: Dynamic. Be dynamic.              Tony Robbins improve your life thing; surround yourself with people better       than you; invite Yale Maggie and her partner to coffee. Consider stimulants       with Maggie; if its fun and improves things is it ok that my nondrugged       version is less interesting? I        think the heightened capability is beneficial so just fine.              Is it possible to apply tony robbins techniques to studying a new thing in an       organized way independently?                     I read a meme that said “I need feminism because vulnerability should not be       a weakness” So create a communications form, that causes new human ways to       arise, outside of what as wikipedia says,”As Haraway explains, “grammar is       politics by other        means,” and effective politics require speaking in the language of       domination.[1]” A new grammer that is absent insistence, perhaps with shared       meaning, some of which is comprehendably yet to be determined. “I like       you” is a phrase with        direction that contains possible new beneficial particulars later. New       conversation and writing could be gentle enough so that a feeling, or a       word-process that might be seen as vulnerable in 2018AD would be a gentle       undisturbed adequate thing. A study        of psychedelic drugs could suggest things about openness and a feeling of       heightened universe-has-good-intentions that create word spaces where what       would have been called vulnerability is just gentle undisturbed adequate       being.               From wikipedia it looks like I am a second wave feminist, and would avoid       being a third wave feminist. I think there could also be a new kind of       feminist.              It has been thought before, but is skipping caffeine during the workday then       having caffeine at 4:30 to be caffiencated, alert and interested, with one’s       family a way to enhance interpersonal relationships and increase the quality       of child raising?        What about other drugs?                     obvious is the drone recharge port on the ceiling.              If I were sufficiently clever could I think of something that improved       feelings. Genetic engineering, remixed facebook feeds measured to cause       happiness as well as making it so thinking of the people you view more highly.               Robot girlfriends and what middle of the normal distribution people       unconsciously support, expect,prefer, and flow ontologically with(stream of       unquestioned feels right isness).              Robot girlfriends, and/or sensors scattered around the living space could do       eye tracking to find out what kinds of values people may have outside of their       conscious thought. This is comparable to eye tracking of viewed movies, where       what people look at        might support or validate particular narratives of how things are supposed to       be.              Eye tracking color dwell maps could be used at a genetic algorithm, or a human       imitation of that, to create customized animated movies with greater audience       involvement, as well as making something “glidey and seamless to enjoy       watching” from        dynamic highlighting as suggested with the longer or more concentrated gaze,       also orchestrated “scanpaths”. I suppose you could call this       “spotlighting”               Wikipedia on eye tracking “The cyclical pattern in the examination of       pictures "is dependent on not only what is shown on the picture, but also the       problem facing the observer and the information that he hopes to gain from the       picture.” So what you        think you are doing influences what your gaze lights on and dwells at, this       modifies the dynamic of innuendo of plot at an animated movie. If you gaze       (and eye track) at what you are sentiently or unconsciously thinking that you       are doing, does looking        at the Hero’s face describe your cultural and personal-mind’s take or       receptiveness to hero-ness or heroism? Is there a math distribution of       “meaning at one’s own personal culture and undescribed cultural       tropisms” among people? The responses        at normed (mid chunk of bell curve) people when shown customized imagery,       possibly moving, that says, or could be computed to reveal “what people       think, feel, and unconsciously respond at, is what their values/narratives of       life is actually like”        Does plot innuendo, as displayed with images, measured with eye tracking,       describe what people are actually like?              Robot girlfriends could use AI on the response of eye tracking to movies or       actual living to get a gist of the person’s unspoken, unarticulated values.              As the wikipedia quote suggests, shifting attributes and thought goals or       unthought goals st a robot girlfriend conversation modifies the things the eye       tracks. (and likely vocal variation) AI on eye tracking with Robot girlfriends       causes different areas        of the robot girlfriend to be looked at at, this could be visually sequenced       to create an interaction that builds towards what would usually be called       mutual satisfaction and esteem, possibly with the feeling of love. As       described with the resolution and        velocity of movies or human to human interaction gaze (eye) tracking you get       can get a normed version of what a person is Like, their unspoken beliefs; so       the robot girlfriend gets to be perceived as human as she has a human-feel       “is like”        contextually, she has the appearance of “unspoken beliefs”, and/or       presents a kind of field of Unspoken, unarranged beliefs, that contribute to       her being lovable and perceived as loving, and sexy. If you want a heroic       robot girlfriend, while        omitting actual real drama, you can have her light up, grab props, or visibly       angle to trigger something like the begirlfriended’s heroism reactions at       watching movies.               Normal eye movement, but drugs that effect eye gaze-track areas of focus and       warmth maps without psychologically perceptible effects; a see more in new       ways drug.                     [continued in next message]              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
