AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the relationship between the mind and body, particularly the potential of subconscious reprogramming through techniques like hypnosis. Participants explore whether the mind can unlock latent abilities or facilitate self-healing, questioning the limits of such capabilities. The conversation touches on philosophical ideas, suggesting that if reality is subjective, then greater manifestations of mind-body interactions should be possible. References to projects like the Montauk Superman and concepts like the Manchurian Candidate are made to illustrate the potential extremes of mind influence. Ultimately, the dialogue emphasizes that while the mind can significantly affect perception and reality, there are inherent limitations in controlling or predicting how these changes manifest in individuals. The notion of achieving permanent happiness through physical manipulation of facial expressions is also debated, raising questions about the authenticity of such happiness.

well i know most of you know that the body and possibly the world you live in is partly subjective to the mind(i don't believe it is absolute, yin/yang, blah blah). well anyways, i was curious as to what the mind can really do to the body. i mean i always read about hypnosis doing little things, well they might not be small to some but what can reprogramming the mind really do. could you release some latent abilities within us all, could you heal yourself from anyone wound, the questions are infinite.

obviously i don't think the people in here are about to say hey look at me and what i did, but i was just curious as to what you think about this subject.

do you think anything is possible with some subconscious reprogramming, if not, then what is the limiter?

if the world is a super hologram of sort, then anything should be possible right. maybe this is a little philosophical but let's get back to the basic root of the question, is it possible to achieve greater manifestations of the mind/body, then the basic, "make me happy".


have any of you read about the montauk superman project, although it sounds fictional, from the script i read of the guy and the interviewer, i would like to just know your opinion, and your opinion on the manchurian candidate.

i guess getting into more aspects of life is inevitable to answer my questions, so by all means, let loose your thoughts.


i just believe that if the mind is an ultimate processer of reality and the the human body, then reprogramming it through hypnosis or any type of mind reprogramming exercises should have a large effect on the user, and like i said before, if not, then why?

I disagree... I believe reality is purely subjective. If you had the "ultimate" convincing machine, that could convince someone of anything, you could make someone who (for example) was shot in the stomach believe he could heal himself. While yes he would die, he would believe that he dies of another reason.. so it goes.

But the thing is, there is no 'ultimate' convinving machine... you personally have ability to reprogram anyone's mind - your mere existence does that. But the key is, you cannot really control how that person's mind is altered, given that their existence also alters your own.

And to make someone permanently happy would also be possible, just hook up the neurons in their face to make a continuous smile. They would look happy, you think they're happy, so they are happy... aren't they?

Thread 'Is this public key encryption?'

Thread 'Is this public key encryption?'

I've tried to intuit public key encryption but never quite managed. But this seems to wrap it up in a bow. This seems to be a very elegant way of transmitting a message publicly that only the sender and receiver can decipher. Is this how PKE works? No, it cant be. In the above case, the requester knows the target's "secret" key - because they have his ID, and therefore knows his birthdate.

Thread 'Who is responsible for the software when AI takes over programming?'

I tried a web search "the loss of programming ", and found an article saying that all aspects of writing, developing, and testing software programs will one day all be handled through artificial intelligence. One must wonder then, who is responsible. WHO is responsible for any problems, bugs, deficiencies, or whatever malfunctions which the programs make their users endure? Things may work wrong however the "wrong" happens. AI needs to fix the problems for the users. Any way to...
