Um, now something that I've always wondered about is those crazy guys who wear tinfoil hats. And the claim has always been to me that that will block the government satellites from reading your mind. So, I designed an experiment to test once and for all whether a tinfoil hat can truly block out the government's brain reading, brainwave reading satellites. This is the tin foil hat that I will be wearing. Now, bearing in mind this is aluminum foil because it's pretty tough to get tin foil these days. All right. And then I will be using the Nia's mindwave reading ability to test my hypothesis that an aluminum foil hat will prevent the government from reading your thoughts. So what we're going to do for this experiment is we are first going to install the NIA and then run the biometric scan that is part of the setup wizard for the NIA. So here we go. Remember this is the NIA plus not the uh not the regular NIA that's available on the market right now. Okay. So, it is now officially installed. And we're going to rerun our scan here. Is Is the aluminum positioned between the NIA and my head? Okay. We got to move the NIA up a little bit. That's fine. That's fine. I can dig it. Okay. How How we doing for installation now? We good? We're good. Okay. So, here we go. Now, we find out once and for all whether those guys are crazy or not. Scan in progress. The scan was successful. However, aha. The truth, as usual, lies somewhere between the tinfoil hat blocking the mind waves and the tinfoil hat not blocking it. So, maybe they're not so crazy after all. There seems to be some truth to this. You see the scan was successful and we are getting little jumps of brain activity here. Okay. But we're not getting nearly the same level of activity that we would get without the tin foil hat installed. So I'm going to go ahead and remove the tin foil hat. Okay. So here's my tinfoil hat. Exhibit A. And we are going to reinstall the NIA with no tinfoil hat and observe the difference in the relaxation range. Here we go. Scan in progress. So now you see my relaxation is much lower because I was not able to successfully block OCZ or the government or whoever is trying to read my brain waves from reading them.
