      Although intriguing, ultimately feels like struggling to stay awake in a University lecture

      A Great Study of Cinema

      regretfully dull and unrewarding...

      • Quotes

        Narrator #1: Now that we have some insight into the concept of experiential space, we may consider interaction among the experiential space continua of a highly unique group of individuals. In general, the study of the varying dimensions of human experience, in the context of man in his society, is known as human social cybernetics. In our experiment, eight category A subjects underwent pattern brain surgery, whose program was developed within the Academy's organic computer dialectic system. The object of surgery was to extend, by a process called biochemical induction, the natural electro-chemical network of the human brain. This extension would provide each subject with telepathic capabilities. A telepathist is one who can communicate with other minds by means which do not involve perception by the senses. Thus, telepathy is a form of extrasensory perception, or ESP. Our subjects were to be kept in isolation at the Institute for three months, where they were to prepare for their first meeting as a group. This meeting was to take place at the Academy sanatorium in the Ontario North Woods.
