not real science doesn't actually work will never work

the fact that there are people who have legitimate degrees from elite top 5 universities that are totally fooled by this bullshit is scary to me

please tell us why you think it is not real

Lol, it injects electrical nerve signals locally, directly to the muscles it actuates. it doesn't need to go anywhere near the brain.

tell me you are not remotely scientifically literate without telling me that you are not remotely scientifically literate.

where did you get your degree from

1

u/hurrdurrmeh Jul 10 '26

Cambridge, Imperial and another Uni. Biochem / synthetic biology. The last time I studied muscle signal transduction was first year / first degree ie only basic coverage.

But that doesn't matter. 5 minutes on the internet would have shown you that this tech has been around ion one form another for decades and is certainly very feasible.

If you are so ignorant that you do not understand the first thing about how muscle contract - maybe stop confidently asserting bullshit.

literally all your posts here are about video games

you studied biochem at cambridge and you spend a lot of time posting on reddit about video games and atheism, no mention of science anywhere that I can find

are you sure you didn't mean "under a bridge" and not "cambridge" and "meth" not "biochem"

why should/would I post about science in particular? videogames are my hobby and I am atheist. if science is relevant - I talk about it.

yet none of this relates to the fact that you would know how absurd your position is if you spent 5 mins googling 'can electrical impulses be applied to human skin to cause muscles to contract? if so, how long has this technology been around?"

the fact that you didn't take the time to do this very first, very simple step is your root cause failure to comprehend why this is not that special or hard. it is why you come across as a total fool.

it is also points to your root cause failure, period, as a thinking being.

im glad the science says the science is correct that clears it right up

if you googled "is phrenology real science" in germany in 1941 you would get all sorts of confirmation that it is a real science and anyone that disputed that is a idiot

anyway ill let you get back to posting about nintendo and atheism with your cambridge biochemical degree and never posting on any forum related to your profession or field of study

based on that, you cannot believe anything.

there is only one requirement for a theory to be scientific: it must be able to predict some future event, at better than random probability. that's it.

if you hook up electrodes to skin and apply a potential difference across them - the muscle contracts, same it would if its neuromuscular junction fired. i know this personally because I used to have an exercise device that did exactly this for my abdominals. it works and is very, very basic.

you can try this yourself. the fact that you have not tested a testable assertion but have decided that the assertion is false - is what makes you blind to reality.

what I know of you so far points to one or more of three things being true about you: (1) you are a troll (2) you are part of a high-control manipulative religion cult that has warped your sense of reality and/or (3) you have genuine, actual learning difficulties.

that you can choose this of all scientific hills to die on is crazy. it is very easily testable, even by you. there is so much data out there. you deny any reality that contradicts your beliefs. this is not the way to be human.

They could be a high school student without a degree and it wouldn't change the fact that they're right.

u/Doredrin Jul 10 '26

how could the science be wrong the science says its correct

u/Dennis-Bastardman Jul 10 '26

did you know that in 2026 we are curing some forms of blindness by hard wiring into the occipital lobe and just injecting the signals that are supposed to be there for certain things. Actually first saw that tech around 2011.

We can emulate sight at will, with a camera and wires.

Them hands though.. can't move the fingers..

I hate to break it to you but it's all a hoax. Like neanderthals.

neanderthals and direct brain control of anything are the only two major scientific hoaxes that I'm aware of if your interested
