I think Elon's neurolink will shed more light on the shroud of mystery that is consciousness.
Maybe not, but I think there are people who are saying "damn the nay sayers" and just trying shit that they think can give some insight into how everything functions, up there.
wow. Great way to understand how the games were created back then with the low storage space. It would be great if this game can be remade to play on the browser. I remember playing this from my older brother's console but never got through it because at the time, it was well before my time and the graphics just didn't work for me. Older now, and I feel like I can appreciate this game now and overlook the old graphics... I know emulators exists, but never understood how to set it up.

Would open sourcing all cancer research and allowing anyone to contribute and share in the open source community... would that assist in potentially finding a cure/treatment for various cancers or would the profit motive be required for these research to be successful?
Protein folding and grid computing networks are based on altruism and enthusiast novelty interest “wow I can use my spare computational power on this global network of other enthusiasts to cure cancer”, you know, novel in 2004.
As soon as some enthusiasts introduced cryptocurrency to these networks, see Curecoin and Gridcoin, users of those quickly became the most significant contributors to those networks (until those particular crypto currencies’ economic models fell apart). It wasn’t “spare computational resources” it was capital investment for a yield in those digital assets. I believe there are communities still experimenting with this regarding protein folding and looking for mutations iteratively.
So a profit motive will always beat out a non-market based approach, which isn’t really news
how would any random person test their cures? Joe Schmoe thinks fasting for a week and then consuming 100 ml/kg of deionized Jagermeister will stop leukemia dead in its tracks. So which dying cancer patient does he get to test on?
Maybe not, but I think there are people who are saying "damn the nay sayers" and just trying shit that they think can give some insight into how everything functions, up there.
