So how rad would it be to have prosthetic limbs that actually worked? I mean that really worked good. Imagine, one day, you're smoking a cigarette with your fuct up
pincher fist and the next you're telling the biggest guy at the gym that he needs to cut back on the roids because if he keeps making that ugly
ass expression his face will stay that way. You know what I'm talking about? Like real robot hands and robot feet/legs that you could
use to open a can of whoopass from across the room on some poser fool. Like arnold has, you know?
Many people don't appreciate the possibilities of having hands like these. You know how many dumb shows I have watched where the
prosthetic engineers were concerned about feedback controls and sense? Too damn many.
Gay ass engineer- "Oh, but we are worried about whether the patient will
be able to pick up objects like styrofoam cups and milk cartons without destroying them. We need to incorporate a very expensive and complex feedback
system so that the patient can have a normal life and do things in a way that please us."
What kind of a wuss would turn down the superhuman power necessary to crush styrofoam cups and milk cartons AT WILL? COULD YOU IMAGINE THE POWER?
look what happened to spiderman when he turned down his great gift. He was ostracized. So too should the people who do not accept the prosthetic limbs
without feedback controls. They should be cast out, too weak to accept their destiny and to rule the world with their iron fists. Literally.
Sure there could be some advantages to incorporating feedback systems in your robotic hydraulic super-powered mandrels, but I can't think of any.
Maybe because I have already accepted these powers, or maybe because I'm too stupid to understand simple things. You decide.
