Thinking - Stop signs and DNA
Posted on 06:25 by Unknown
If you sail a cardboard crucifix so that the long bit is the front, over the heads of some laboratory hatched goose chicks that have never met an adult goose, they cry out for food because the think it looks like their mum.
If you fly the same cardboard crucifix so the short bit is the front (so it looks like a hawk) the same chicks huddle down quietly in fear.
That's some pretty amazing hard-wired stuff in there.
I wonder how long it would take to ... say... get a hard wired DNA based response to an english word?
For example the word "Stop" on a stop sign.
This test might seem a little unconventional, but bear/bare with me...
As an experiment, make a device that crashes a truck into people if they don't pay attention to a stop sign.
That's it really.
I find them really annoying.
