  • I also have some trust issues. I’d rather not have spyware built into me.

    That said if I could magically wave those problems away, I wouldn’t say no to improved senses. Eyes that can see any wavelength from radio to x-rays, with different filters for wavelength and polarization available. Same for ears too.

    I have actually considered(but not super seriously) getting a magnet implant so I could detect magnetic fields and current flowing in wires, what do you think the limit of that would be if you took it to an extreme?

    Mental augmentations are a bit scarier. For multiple reasons.



  • Modern geocentrism

    kinda. It’s more that “center” of the universe can be picked completely arbitrarily. I can say I’m the center of the universe, and when I spin on my chair, the universe revolves around me. You can define the frame of reference however you wish to. The change of perspective does not change how orbits work.

    Lunar effect – the belief that the full Moon influences human and animal behavior.

    by that short definition sure, but probably not how they mean. If you’re active at night, the amount of ambient light is surely going to impact your behavior. Not so much in areas with artificial lighting.

    Memetics.

    Insofar as there are self-replicating ideas, and the ones more likely to self-replicate become more prevalent…sure. Not the whole story either, as ideas can also be pushed by people that don’t believe those ideas.
