Cryogenics vs. Vibration

Cryogenics - freezing your head or body to give science a chance to cure what ails you. The problem is unfreezing the body evenly and quickly so that the brain and heart don't starve for oxygen. Prediction: Mission will prove to be a complete failure.

So how to preserve the human body? Simple. Consider objects such as GPS satellites that travel in space. The clocks in these satellites must often be reset because the clocks fall behind. Scientists have witnessed that the faster bodies move, the slower time passes for them. So if I had cancer and wanted to preserve myself until there's a cure, I simply travel near the speed of light, so that during the blink of an eye to me is years to you. The problem lies, then, in getting my body up to that speed and the cost involved. Could I rotate my body around an axis? Perhaps. Better yet, it will prove more efficient to move the atoms that make up my body. Simply using soundwaves and a prescribed frequency will cause the atoms to vibrate at such a rapid pace that time will slow down to a crawl.

I predict in the future there will be "warehouses" in arid, sunlit parts of the world (for cheap energy purposes) where inside will be human bodies whose atoms are being vibrated, slowing down the pace of their decay but also the human's experience. A person will be placed in a chamber. The person will be given a sedative that is intended to last for mere minutes. The chamber closed. The sound turned on. Decades if not centuries later, the sound turned off. The chamber opened. The person removed. The person is treated for their ailment. The person awakes and lives out the rest of their days healed. Perhaps the person will visit their great-great-great-great grandchildren - who they see next is up to them. But I wonder, what purpose will the awakened person of yesteryear serve now?

Eli Roth and Stephan Zweig A Bad Influence?

"Since then I hold back for nothing, for I feel the norms and formalities of the society in which I live are meaningless, and I am not ashamed in front of others or myself...I live by letting myself draw on the power I so magically felt for the first time on that night...." Stephen Zwieg from Fantastic Night.


I desperately want to drink someone's blood. Willing or unwilling, it does not matter. I think of ways to incapacitate someone so that when I puncture the jugular, the blood will flow. I must be careful? Does the blood shoot out like in the movies? I don't want to leave too much evidence nor leave any on my person, yet I want to drink it all what ever mess. I want to know if drinking someone's life my Joie de vivre will grow exponentially. I want to know if lift will become more more vibrant and exciting as it becomes for the rich guy in Hostel when Todd gets sooo pumped up knowing he's soon to kill. Or like Baron Friedrich Michael von R in Fantastic Night who simply steals a betting slip and afterwards feels dreadful shame for doing so, spends a night with the lower classes and feels more human and alive afterward.

Is the symbolism of drinking someones life enough to envigor mine? (I'm not disillusioned by vampire films - I know that real life is not the award.) I must know, but how, how to find the person who will give me this gift. It cannot be someone of poor health or morals as I don't want to inherit the immorality pervading in their blood. It must be someone of good morals or young. The age, I suppose for my purposes, does not matter, nor does their lives as they will undoubtedly have to die. But the higher purpose for which they die gives them great honor. Do not cry for them but embrace me, the new man who will become much greater than the sum of our two lives separately. Your son or daughter is much more alive in me than they would have ever been had they been yours to keep.



Hostel 2:
  • Todd: Do you remember the first guy in your high school to get laid?
  • Stuart: No, but I remember the last.
  • Todd: Well, I do. This kid Greg. He came back from summer break; something about him had changed. It wasn't anything he said or did, but something was different. You just knew it.
  • Stuart: I know what you mean. It's like you can sense it the way an animal senses it.
  • Todd: Exactly. Like an animal. Sometimes, you meet a guy and there's just something fucking scary about him. Something that makes you think this guy has killed somebody. He doesn't have to act tough. He never has to say it. But like an animal, you can sense it. You know that this guy's got the balls to do what few others can. And that's you after today, my friend... What we do today is gonna pay off every day for the rest of our lives.

Volunteering interest will pay bigger reward than taking or showing interest.

I wish life was like those in the movies like the Big Sleep where Philip and Vivian, polar opposites, fall in love in a matter of days.

I think about meeting someone new and the importance in showing an interest in the other person's interests but I find it disingenuous - to "show" interest suggests misleading someone into making them think they interested you.  To "show" and not "be" interested. I also find that "taking" an interest which suggests that the listener must force him/herself into being interested.

Are people so boring that all our dates have to fake liking our interests or that they must force themselves into being interested? Perhaps this is negative thinking is convincing myself that I am not interesting and people go out of their way to amuse me.

Who I'd like to meet is the girl version of Samantha from the movie Her. You know from the first time Samantha is introduced she has a genuine interest in Theodore. Through Samantha's desire to learn about Theodore and her need to understand what makes him human. She doesn't just listen to what Theodore likes, but wants to know why he likes and how it makes him feel. As she learns more about him, she feels more human herself.

Why aren't more people open-minded enough to cast away preconceptions to experience moments anew, vicariously through someone else's experiences? We don't have to experience first hand to feel the moment as if it was our own. 

People should no longer "show" or "take" but "volunteer" interest. Volunteer attention, empathy, time. You may find yourself more human than you though, or are you too scared to be more human, to feel more deeply? Don't expect to in love or love as quickly in the movies but maybe the volunteering will become and investment that pays back forever?
