That is one of the purposes of this. Even if they completely destroyed all the fabs and couldn't repurpose them, it hamstrings the US

It's funny though, reading those books it seems that Michael Crichton has deep disdain for scientists.

Good point. Imo humans are just biological machines responding to stimulus so any stimulus is going to change the system somehow.

Was gonna say, we have proven that external stimulus can change the brain so yes in a broad sense we can mind control today.

Given enough time and research I'm confident we could understand how to influence the brain in more complicated ways.

We still don't really understand the brain though and it's perfectly possible that other things can influence it (gut bacteria?) so strictly sending stimulus to the brain might not be enough

No way temple of doom is worse than crystal skull right? I guess if you ignore the racism.

To be fair that could be a wild movie

According to one of the articles above the publishers operating profit last year was "only" $300m so that bonus would make the shareholders mad I guess.

Won't work for everyone but I switched to thin sandals and my feet got much stronger and healthier.
I'm still working on the being too fat part

They are gonna hand the election to the GOP because they refuse to fucking retire and let a new generation make decisions.

The DNC is just as culpable for both Trump terms as the GOP voters imo.

Shit good point. Through multiple deaths I am a fractional owner of 3 properties, and I can't afford to be a homeowner
