- michaelpinto, on 04/06/2009, -0/+36So if you can edit my memories does that mean that I can pass a lie detector test about a previous event? This can be very useful for the spy biz!
- twiztidsinz, on 04/06/2009, -0/+25AND YOU ALL LAUGHED AT MY TINFOIL HAT!
- lnxfi, on 04/06/2009, -0/+22Can you edit in Kung Fu? Forget erasing things. Alcohol can do that for me. I want things added into memory.

- kinerry, on 04/06/2009, -0/+17It would be great to take on memories (foreign language, complex math, specialized tech info), but erasing something, no matter how bad cannot lead to a happy ending.
All people who excel in some aspect of their life do so because of compensating for something they lack. If you erase the bad memory that caused you to become who you are, you may lose what makes you great. Great example is the Ace of Aces, the greatest fighter pilot to ever live, or even bill gates (teasing). - SpiderTeets, on 04/06/2009, -1/+14scary

- 420buddah, on 04/06/2009, -0/+11When can I have memories added?
Instant knowledge would certainly save a lot of time in school..time which you could use to get high and chill with hot chicks. - inactive, on 04/06/2009, -1/+11cool! it would be great if i could do some "cut-paste" operations on my memories.
- FTLJohnson, on 04/06/2009, -0/+10If you are a trained spy... lie detectors are USELESS. Why? They are generally useless anyway, unless you just don't care about justice, and are willing to accept false positives in order to help generate a scapegoat. If you know what you are doing, it's very easy to use physical countermeasures to defeat a lie detector. Lie detectors are EXTREMELY flawed and really, should have NO BUSINESS being used by law enforcement.
- enantiodromia, on 04/06/2009, -0/+9it's called "MDMA and a good friend". works every time.

Two weeks. - zyl0x, on 04/06/2009, -0/+8*****. We're completely *****.

- borez, on 04/06/2009, -0/+5No more ex-girlfriend, cocaine habit, smoking habit, THAT text message I sent last Wednesday guilt ( sorry Bibi but your bedroom really did smell of cabbage )
/where do I sign up. - fenderbiz, on 04/06/2009, -0/+5The polygraph is a joke. It's unbelievable that we still use, or have ever used it as a legit detector of someone's lies. Think about it. The people who have lied their whole lives have become very good at lying, so their body will not respond the way an honest person's does when they lie or are asked a question that makes them nervous.
Liars get government jobs and the honest get screwed by the polygraph. Most likely, the person testing you is guilty of all of the drugs/activities that he is trying to accuse you of. The whole system is ***** corrupt. I can't ***** stand it. - blankman, on 04/06/2009, -0/+5changing ones memories changes who they are. This is a very BAD idea. What if one's family member dies and they're having a hard time coping with it? Will they be allowed to remove the memory of that loved one? Would they want to?
Now what if that person tried to kill themselves after losing someone they can't live without? Would they be FORCED to have the memory of that person removed?
We're not just computers with files to be deleted when they start clogging stuff up. Our memories, for better or worse, make us who we are, and we can not just delete them because we can. - the8thbit, on 04/06/2009, -0/+5I was thinking Snakes on a Plane.
***** YEAH SNAKES. - chadsmith729, on 04/06/2009, -0/+5WE ARE ALL STILL LAUGHING! JUST NOT AS HARD AS BEFORE.

Dollhouse!

There, I said it! - inactive, on 04/06/2009, -0/+4Possibly - but I can see a problem. In some forms of amnesia, a person has memories, he just can't consciously access them. In particular, it's been discovered that, in people suffering from the condition made famous in Memento, even though they can't consciously recall anything past a couple of minutes, if you design a clever test that gets at the information without requiring them to consciously recall it, that memory is still there.
Like, have 'em memorize a list of words - in five minutes they won't be able to write down the list - but if you give them a word-association test, it becomes apparent that the information is still in there. - xsecretfiles, on 04/06/2009, -0/+4I was thinking Doll House

That would never happen. I've been programmed not to think so. - inactive, on 04/06/2009, -1/+3In a few years, the government will be implanting events into peoples' memory while removing those memories they don't want you to have
- mbelrose, on 04/06/2009, -1/+3Firefly was never canceled, Joss Whedon just erased our memories of the last 3 seasons, especially the part where Mal jumps over a pit full of laser-sharks.
- Tyler324, on 04/06/2009, -0/+2I disagree. If you could learn everything with a simple procedure, everyone would be exactly the same. Half the satisfaction of knowing a skill is seeing your hard work and practice pay off.
- inactive, on 04/06/2009, -0/+2Can someone buy me some... Everytime I go to the store I never seem to remember to buy the stuff you were talking about.

- failtrain, on 04/06/2009, -0/+2I concur.
- Philbert, on 04/06/2009, -0/+2I was thinking of that too, maybe they can help me forget I ever saw it.
- VitriolAndAngst, on 04/06/2009, -0/+1... yes, well I did my doctorate on applications for editing brain memories, and I can tell you that the best way to prevent the later removal of ... of ... wow, this sounds like a very unique and intriguing development -- I never thought you could edit memories.
Somewhere, Karl Rove is waking from a wet dream. - tgc1, on 04/06/2009, -0/+1Two Weeks LOL!
"Get ready for a surprise!" *Boom* - Tyler324, on 04/06/2009, -0/+1I am a huge advocate of science but we are beginning to take it too far. The ability to erase memories just brings in another dangerous tool that may be abused.
