Hi Feb, yeah... I've thought about the downsides... but realisitcally
the software may not work or wont work very well... its likely just a
lame and ridiculous idea... I don't want to ever make something
that would have a negative effect... if it did work at all it won't
transplant (or shouldnt) general personal memories or thoughts but
rather just cause a 'resonance' to build between like minded individuals
working on similiar problems... possibly speed up the problem solving
process... but most likely it just wont work too well or if there are
effects they may not be terribly useful or practical.... in fact
once all the coding is done and I've got it ready to go.... everyone
may think its just laughably simple... and a moronic waste of time
but oh well maybe it'll be fun playing with?
