The Fallacy of Self

The face of madness is mine. The arts, most likely, are not (unless specified otherwise). I am but a fragment of the lost, perpetually in search for a sense of self. send me ask if you wish for contact

You know, because of the heavily psychological themes in Silent Hill, the idea that it looks different to each individual…nothing has scared me more in the ENTIRE series than that ONE line from Vincent.

That was the moment I went, “oh, SHIT.”

It calls to mind so many different ideas.

What does Silent Hill look like to him?

What does Silent Hill ACTUALLY look like?

What are we actually fighting?

What if we’re killing PEOPLE?

What if the monsters aren’t real, and we’re going around slaughtering real people? Maybe even other people trapped in Silent Hill just like us? What if they attack us because WE look like the monsters to them?

What if we’re the real monster.

"Supposedly is spending an entire day at hospital, visiting with relatives. I am not sure how much work I would be able to get done today. I suppose any college-related subject shall have to be withheld until I am back at home, as well, other pc-required test."

"At least I could still do my research?" :T

"The hospital is filled with abundant bodies of military personal today. It did leave me with a moment of awe at first."

Silence. Darkness. Leave me be. Leave me awake. Love me.

Of Proton and Neutron

A neutron walked into a bar and asked the proton bartender, "How much for a drink?" He replied, "For you? No charge." The neutron said, "Are you sure?" The proton bartender said, "I'm positive."

"Remember when you were able to draw once? Ferin from The Thief of Baramos which I dare say is one of among the little I read of Thai's new-aged novel. There are some Thais' works I would love seeing international. This is one (even just for a light reading)."

How to manually change a memory: Steve Ramirez and Xu Liu at TEDxBoston (by TEDxTalks)M/p>

Steve Ramirez and Xu Liu shoot laser beams into the brains of living mice to activate and manipulate their memories. In a funny and -- perhaps -- unnerving talk from TEDxBoston, they explain the fundamental principles behind their experiments and broach the big questions that future advancements in this line of research may force us to answer.

When we close our eyes and think back to our childhood, to our first kiss, or to this morning's breakfast, our brains perform the remarkable task of mental time travel and thereby enrich our lives with memories. How does neural machinery give rise to something as seemingly ephemeral as memory? Recently, Hollywood inspired our imaginations by proposing that memories could be artificially triggered (think Total Recall), erased (think Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind), or even implanted (think Inception). Now, neuroscience has plucked these ideas from the tree of science fiction and grounded them in experimental reality. The catch: our subjects are the movie stars of the laboratory setting--rodents. This talk will introduce how revolutionary techniques from our lab have made it possible to isolate and manipulate specific memories at the level of single brain cells with just flickers of light, as well as the societal ramifications of doing so.
