They aren't going to be happy until everyone is at least half machine.
For some reason they don't think of the concept of machines being tools
for humans.
Why not just do "creative visualization" of blue light? It's easy to do
and doesn't cost anything. Oops, there's the rub, it doesn't make
buttloads of money for the crapitalists.
You must be digging up material for Charlie Brooker.

Following up on Salyavin's post about neuroscientists being able to
zap brains with blue light to create more positive emotional
associations with memories and thus treat PTSD, here's another article
showing that this "brain-zapping psychiatry" stuff now seems to be a
trend.
I'm not sure how I feel about it. Especially in this case. This is a
helmet that supposedly zaps the brains of heavy smokers to help them
quit. Great. But I'll bet that once it's approved, it'll wind up
costing thousands or tens of thousands of dollars for one zap.
And the catch is that you have to keep the helmet on or the effect
wears off!
But the helmets will be available in a number of designer colors to go
with your favorite outfits. Some people may purchase several helmets
so they don't have to wear the same ones to gala openings and awards
ceremonies and thus suffer poor reviews from fashion magazines. Famous
designers will hop on the bandwagon and produce their own versions of
the helmets -- for example, these are supposedly the matching his and
hers headgear proposed by Jean Paul Gaultier:
:-)
Meanwhile, all over the world doctors and researchers (including many
at the CDC) are refusing to support e-cigarettes, which have been
shown to be almost as effective at helping people to quit smoking. The
e-cigs cost about $20, they're refillable, and they WORK. And so what
are doctors trying to do? Legislate them out of existence so they can
sell more expensive "solutions."
