This would be a system that tests you for comprehension speed and
then plays you a stream of words/ images/ video clips at just above
your comprehension speed, or gives you control of the speed so you
could adjust is precisely just above your ability to process so that
you could then just sit
and wait for genius ideas to occur to you. I
had to rely on the spell check two times in the writing of this idea
to spell the word genious.
Like this?

Actually now that I look at it this is exactly the same as the
original idea |
|
| |
An inspriation machine! I like this - perfectly halfbaked. That said, I suspect that after a while the genious ideas would be primarily concerned with ways of dealing with sensory overload. |
|
| |
Yet become ironically dependant on them just like how
contemporary media is actively increasing our thresholds for
absorbing ranges of sound that densensitize to even the cries of
nipple deprived newborns. |

Toric idea generator? That gives me an idea... |

I have a query as to how They are determining your comprehension level. Hopefully it is by some method more labcoaty than whacking it up to the point where you start drooling and then dialling it back a dollop. |

An EEG would be the obvious feedback system. That, or a head-mounted accelerometer that can detect when the watcher goes into a Grand Mal seizure. |

Half-heard scraps of conversation for me usually
include bits of technical jargon which were never
actually uttered -- because that's what my brain's
tuned
for. The optimal speed for this thing would be
slightly faster than you could comprehend, but
not quite too fast to process. EEG (or some
fancier form of funtional imaging) would probably
work for processing, but comprehension would
probably require some sort of quiz. ([+] BTW) |
|
| |
On the other hand, perhaps it could be tuned to
maximize a P300 response. |
|
| |
Half heard scraps of conversation pass through my brain and almost always end up as innuendo. (+) |

Take out all the spaces and use what's left for subliminal messages. |

Is the nonsense generator supposed to predict terrorist attacks? |
|
| |
Well, if that's what it said to you, then I guess so. |
|

My appypolly loggies my dearest droogs, but I once
smote this sinny in which a spoogy moodge had this
very veshch viddied upon him under great
discomfort and ultraviolence. It made the poor
moodge most bolnoy, poor bratchny – he couldn't
even sloshy his beloved Ludwig van. |

Gotta loob the poor malchickiwick. |

No, it's designed to prevent [Alterother] Halfbakes. |

[theleopard] Good Lord. Do you actually speak
Nadsat? |
|
| |
It's not that hard, [mouseposture]; it's like Franglais, but with Russian. You knew that, right? |
|
| |
Smot my linky, dearest droog. |
|
| |
The lack of a Nadsat word for "thank you" is
significant, prolly. |
