Hydraulic fracturing or "fracking" is the process of
injecting liquid
at high pressure into the ground to release natural
resources such
as petroleum for collection.
Similarly, brains contain a rich supply of great ideas, but
they are
hard to extract because they are trapped in seams of
useless
material such as "feasibility", "sanity" and "avoidance of
ridicule".
So the next time you describe a HB idea to someone and
they give
you that familiar querulous/irritated face, immediately
jump them
and squirt a brain-frack concoction up their nasal cavity.
Further experimentation is needed to perfect the
formula, but a
mixture of Outsidethebox, Lightenthef___up and
Nothingbettertodo has shown success in initial trials.
Actually anything works if you throw some peyote in.
Look for Noise Level. If you've never read it, try to find it, it's worth it

[-] baked: there's a chemical that reduces the brain to an infantile state regarding preconception or something like that: possible uses include treating addictions; can't remember what it's called offhand though. |

meh, can't find or remember enough relevant keywords to dig it up: I came across a pop-sci'ish article and thought it could be used as a treatment for strabismus: by making the brain forget or deemphasize the ingrained coping mechanism that allows the eyes to remain unsync'd without confusion, there could be another chance at getting them to synchronise. |

Naw naw, you just have to remember how you thought when you were three... while holding the glimmer of a notion in your head. |

I don't think that peyote would agree with my delicate constitution. |

Isn't that a form of the familiar Nigerian scam? Along with YorubaProfitte and HausaRakeOffe? |

I don't think it was Ibogaine, but since the source was online newspaper(s) with the usual optimistic hype, who knows. |

mebbe: I do hold to the 'tonsorial theory of evolution'. |

You mean 'survival of the hairiest'? |

Sorta: man's brain had to be more developed, to deal with hair that gets caught on branches, grows over the eyes, etc. The hair-tie was actually the first tool or at least right up there with "piece of rock" and "stick". |

^ <link>ed an interview with somebody who's doing research with valproic acid. It's not the original article I read (which was a year or two previous to this posting), but it's in the ballpark. |
