I just had one of those crazy, mad scientist, ideas. But, I am not even a scientist! It was the idea that in the future with the help of Nueroscience in the form of mind control, or through mastery and sale of quantum physics, we will be able to have the benefits of exercise without needing the time to do it ourselves.
My mom got me tbinking about such possibilities by suggesting to me that vocal cords mimic the sounds they hear and your voice may even feel scratchy or sore from the fatigue of listening to a poor singer. She said she had heard of the idea regarding a skill tennis players gained through watching experts play. This explains my terrible reaction to the mere mention of pain experienced by another.
Later, I took the notion to heart with my daughter, Brooksie. I was careful to only play the finest vocal feats as she was developing in uetero. Particularly, I placed head phones on my stomach and played alot of Haley Westenra.
The notion also started as an idea for a tv series about a super hero who assumed traits of those who surrounded. Then, it dawned on me that it was not fiction at all, but often referred to as empathy.
Thinking about Super powers made me think more about a show I had recently seen where the power was mind control. And there was a fascinating displayvwhere a nuero scientist demonstrated how his brain sends messages to his muscles and those messages were sent to someone else's muscles, it has some very practical uses, like lost limbs, etc. It reminded me of my friend David who gave himself super human strength once and crushed a test tube with his hand, by squeezing it after sending an electrical charge to it.
