Of Ought and Can

Let's put a sensor on his brain and get some data. There'll be a bunch of graphs an' pictures of diff'rent colored lines corr'spondin' to every little thought he has. An' then let some fella say what that neon spaghetti means. An' that fella'll tell us that the sensor-brain'd man's got the ability to decide to chew the legs off a cricket or stomp a hole through a cat. An' sure enough, when we get roun' to it, the fella in the lab coat's gonna let y'all know that it's alright to slip a knife to your neighbor's throat just 'cause you can.

Ever visit the Museum of Questionable Medical Devices in Minneapolis? This reminds me of the chair that had cap on the top, like an electric chair, but instead it mapped out the bumps on your head. Apperantly you can tell a lot about a person by the shape of their head.
