adrenaline
the thrills of athletics the team feelings
The fight or flight of the contest to kill or be killed (under orders from opposing governments void where legally prohibited) of war
antibodies to adrenaline mop up most of the motivation
passivating those who would otherwise be combatants
of course war being being war (under orders from opposing governments void where legally prohibited) antibodies to actual adrenal tissue create durable coolness with minimal fighting or flighting
aerosol antibodies could be created with phage display or yeast display technologies (link) as infective agents
I like the idea of varying the sequence of the epitope that is the recognition sequence with an epitope everybody already has fierce antibodies to that would likely be a few amino acids from Fugu or mold using the way human produced antibodies vary around a target epitope The body would produce its own immunoreactive immunoglobins as near variants of fuguadrenaline like uguadre nefugu creating an autoimmune response to adrenaline adrenal tissues or particular adrenaline receptor epitopes
the reactive fugudrenaline epitope blends would be what is on the outside of the phage display virus When these viruses actually nfect the person they create more immunoreactivity
It may be better to create strong immune response to specific adrenaline receptors there are a few as these may create specific behavioral changes Zero body adrenaline apparently just makes people faint then stay fainted
I think I got septicemia or blood poisoning a couple times from frostbite If it is possible to create a mild viral septicemia that is immunoreactive to adrenaline then the immunoreactivity against adrenaline spreads throughout the body
another appreoach is to use a bacteria like staphlococcus that metabolizes a rare carbohydrate plus makes siRNA to the basic genetics like ubiquitin or histones of staphlococcus native to human skin
spraying a solution of this on a person replaces their native bacterial flora with the weaponized variety as the weaponized version has lots of food plus makes antibiotics to its niche similars These bacteria could be durable hosts of the phage display virus that causes the adrenaline destroying immune reaction
further I have noticed that thioglycolate (nair) causes rashes that crust a carefully engineered liposomal thioglycolate would create microcrusts absent sensation which function as direct paths to immunoreactive tissue possibly sequestering virus under crust to create infection depots
make war dull; then different things take its place
The swift n successful attack confers zero emotional rush
as a bonus this removes the motivations of hunters as well "boar hunting" becomes pointless n dull compared with say pleasant conversation or music
Now theres a giant technical difficulty with this Adrenaline does not cross the blood brain barrier When scientists do psychological studies with adrenaline it just adds volume to whatever feelings they are cued to have This might just generate fearless warriors that lack the emotional motivation to quit
Happylong is better as it actually makes people happy
yet this is just a spray on solution to neutralize organized killing as well as organized motivation a way to neutralize organized crime
The government may appreciate a thing I read at an old 0mni magazine apparently among nomadic Saudis a major social form was the "denunciatory motivational rant" there was a standardized social form of escalating motivational speech (compare puritans or televangelists) where the most upsetting person got the "social credit" If this applies to other areas of the middle east an adrenaline destroying strategy removes this source of motivation It is possible that destroying adrenaline works against guerilla true believers better than all the technologies of the gulf war
