So, here I am playing Neapong with my
0:04
head and I have my hand on the mouse, but that's entirely unnecessary.
0:09
Um, now something that I've always wondered about is those crazy guys who
0:15
wear tinfoil hats. And the claim has
0:18
always been to me that that will block
0:22
the government satellites from reading your mind. So, I designed
0:29
an experiment to test once and for all whether a
0:35
tinfoil hat can truly
0:40
block out the government's brain reading, brainwave reading satellites.
0:47
This is the tin foil hat that I will be wearing. Now, bearing in mind this is
0:51
aluminum foil because it's pretty tough to get tin foil these days. All right.
0:56
And then I will be using the Nia's mindwave reading ability to test my
1:03
hypothesis that an aluminum foil hat
1:07
will prevent the government from reading your thoughts. So what we're going to do
1:13
for this experiment is we are first going to install the NIA and then run
1:19
the biometric scan that is part of the
1:23
setup wizard for the NIA. So here we go.
1:28
Remember this is the NIA plus not the uh
1:32
not the regular NIA that's available on the market right now. Okay. So, it is
1:36
now officially installed.
1:39
And we're going to rerun our scan here. Is Is the aluminum positioned between
1:44
the NIA and my head? Okay. We got to move the NIA up a little bit. That's
1:47
fine. That's fine. I can dig it. Okay. How How we doing for installation now?
1:52
We good? We're good. Okay. So, here we go. Now, we find out once and for all
1:57
whether those guys are crazy or not.
2:04
Scan in progress. The scan was
2:07
successful. However,
2:12
aha. The truth, as usual, lies somewhere between the
2:17
tinfoil hat blocking the mind waves and
2:21
the tinfoil hat not blocking it. So, maybe they're not so crazy after all.
2:24
There seems to be some truth to this. You see the scan was successful and we
2:29
are getting little jumps of brain activity here. Okay. But
2:35
we're not getting nearly the same level of activity that we would get without
2:40
the tin foil hat installed. So I'm going to go ahead and remove the tin foil hat.
2:45
Okay. So here's my tinfoil hat. Exhibit
2:48
A. And we are going to reinstall the NIA
2:52
with no tinfoil hat and observe the
2:56
difference in the relaxation range.
3:01
Here we go. Scan in progress.
3:04
So now you see my relaxation is much
3:07
lower because I was not able to
3:10
successfully block OCZ or the government or whoever is trying to read my brain
3:15
waves from reading them. So, thank you for checking out this NCIX tech tips on
3:20
brain waves and whether or not the government can monitor them.
