Trepanation
by Shannon at 12:49 am EDT, Sep 15, 2006

This weekend I had a hole drilled through my skull. I read that this increased one’s consciousness permanently. I read about the supposed de-conditioning properties. I read about more parts of the brain working simultaneously as there would be more blood up there to help this happen. The arguments for it all seemed to be quite lengthy, quite detailed, thought out and researched, and very intelligent. The arguments against it were based solely on the opinion that it is ‘crazy’ and talk like, "What’s more conscious than conscious?". I heard from an acquaintance on telephone that she was glad she had done it, felt more mental energy, and had days of brilliance. I came to believe that the key to a permanent consciousness increase was a hole in the skull, to restore the full brain pulsation of infancy. After several months of research, discussion, speculation, watching surgical videos and trepanation documentaries, and even an actual viewing of a trepanation, I decided I certainly did want to be trepanned, and sought a way to do it.

They should call this The Darwin Procedure.

Amazing that there was not just this nutty guy but enough nutty friends to pull it off. I wonder what the long term outcome has been.

Did you rta? Its long, so I donut blame you if you didn't. He goes on to say that he feels real weird for a month, and then returns to normal. He concludes that it was placebo, and that it was not a good idea to drill a hole in his head.

There are just no words to express my feelings on this.

No, wait.

"Near auto-darwination".

I think that covers it.

I'm reminded of the great line from Ghostbusters:
Vinkman: "Remember that time you tried to drill a hole in your head?"
Egon: "That would've worked had you not stopped me."

I am most positive that the person that did that should be arrested for practicing medicine without a license.
