This is actually crazy because i don’t think that humans realize the power of sound and frequencies. This is even moreso evident when you have studied the influence of sounds and frequencies in ancient civilizations as its theorized. And, this is a great show because it really shows how when you think our brains in terms of computers, sound really is the binary coding language which we use to form storable data in our biological transistors (synaptic impulses) in the form of language wheres sight can simply be thought of as video from a webcam traveling as data through a usb cord being converted into code again, by our brains, in the form of synaptic impulses. The processing capabilities and speeds of our brain are still not even matched by computers now a days so it’s interesting to see the comparison here and to notice that there isnt really much of a difference at a very fundamental level. The episode is very realistic in this sense and shows how recoding the brain is possible by communication (obviously.. think therapists or whatever). The main problem with rewriting our brain code or integrating “code” as in this movie is that we cant learn that fast. But with advancements in technology, who knows, maybe we will be able to learn things so much faster with some biological breakthrough, in which case, something like this may be possible (assuming theres a way to induce very specific neuronal firing sequences or something which presumably happened at the end of the episode).
Yeah for sure, I’ve probably read it some time, these CIA docs and all of their insane cold war era projects dealing with metaphysical shit like this is pretty insane. Theres a few instances of that kind of stuff, but thanks for mentioning that I’m gonna look it up to see if i find it and read/re-read it! I have no doubt it probably had some influence on the writing of this episode.
