I'd like to point out, this is a common problem of approaching human studies with the analysis of composites. There are people way happier and more content than this guy.

Psychologists do something similar when they look at what "normal" people are like. They overlook the gross cultural and innate neuroses that plague all of humanity. While the Tibetan monk who overcomes all desires, prejudices and finds himself supremely content to have nothing, barely registers on these "composites."

The truth may be that "normals" are high-strung, bat-crap crazy, egotists who lust after material gain and call it "happy" when they get a little ego-boost. My family member was exstatic when he got his "50 inches of happy" in the form of a plasma screen, but that tapered off and the new thing now is a brand new Mazda 3. That monk is still sitting in his dusty cave, happier than a pig in crap, while my family member cycles through possessions that bring him temporary bouts of elation (not contentment/happy).

Meh, those guys are actually light-weights.

Einstein was only able to bring to the darkness of the westernized mind, truths about the relative dependence of the universe, and of measuring it, that were already gleaned tens of thousands of years ago by "mystics." Who, began working not with particular things, but the very nature of thing-ness itself.

A completely worthless quiz from my perspective. First of all, like Cellania said. I can't answer the first question because I don't know any of the people in the question. I'd be able to answer it only if I had extensive knowledge of Reality TV. Other questions like "Which is the best treatment for DPD?" does not have the best answer "Cognitive Behavior Therapy". "The saying "It's all in your head" is linked to which of the following personality disorders?" It applies to every human being, the noumena that is the "real world" is never perceived directly by anyone, all perception is in the head. No questions about Reverse Intermetamorphosis, Catard's Syndrome, Synaesthesia, Proposagnosia, Abulia, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder or the like, just primarily about DPD and APD, which is a very small set of conditions. Hardly a good measure of ones aptitude.

What's an "inmigrant"? Is that the opposite of an "outmigrant"?

Jessss is correct, however, the neuroplasticity of the brain is best thought (IMHO) of in the context of neuro- and synapto-genesis and the subsequent pruning process. Nerve cells, by and large could do anything, but the cells closest to the auditory nerves tend to make up those regions processing speech. The same is true of the visual cortex, except that the ocular nerves project through the Superior Colliculus (Thalamus) to the Occipital Lobe in the back of the brain, opposite of the eyes. The nerve cells there, are closest to the ocular nerves, and not necessarily the organs from which they receive their inputs. Most of the brain is fairly homogenious in it's functional capabilities and depends on what stimuli is contiguous with it. Cheers.

Wasn't it Soviet Russia that was experimenting with decapitated dog heads. There is a video in B&W floating around that displays a disembodied canine head hooked up to and sustained by a machine. The researchers are slamming a hammer on the table to test the dog's reflexes.

Great post! The operative word being "meditate" or empathize to the extent that you and the person are indistinguishable. There is value in it and it is not insensitive to these people, it is the highest form of sensitivity to momentarily become the person.

This is just evidence that you can study something, like brains, and not know how to use it.

Well... that assumes that the waves from your modem have the ability to stimulate your brain transcranially. Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation is possible, for example Dr. Michael Persinger with his "God helmet" at Laurentian University in Sudbury, ON, CA. However, it is probably the case the modem or other devices do not have this ability, atleast to a significant degree.
