Shannon's Journal Discussion Thread, Vol. 5

[Shannon]

Thanks for the reply. I would say for me given what you said that would work perfectly for me as I will be starting my second degree on March 1st and plan on finishing up probably sometime late April or early May which given the time your looking at for UMS means I could probably then jump from MLS to UMS in May (as I wouldn't be able to start my Masters program until September anyway). 

That did bring up 2 other questions (I hope i'm not taking up too much of your time with these). Regarding if MLS most likely might be next you said I believe there might not be any new major tech upgrades for a while (after you major discovery for 5.75.5G) but will there still be some normal optimizations minor tech upgrades here and there with subs going forward? Reason I ask is because what you did for 5.75.5G really helped me out by a lot. So I'm wondering just how powerful and efficient things can get from here on out if even its just minor upgrades here and there.

 

There are always new things being discovered and learned about how to improve these programs.  Sometimes they're exciting and big, sometimes they're small and incremental, but useful.  What I did to make 5.75.4G go to 5.75.5G was something I had been trying to figure out for a LONG time, many years.  It was a doozy of a challenge, and a doozy of an upgrade.  I know there's still something significant I haven't figured out yet in at least one direction, and there's a lot left to add from Beast.  Not all of Beast's additions will be useful for the skeleton script, some will be more specific.  But there's a lot of concepts that will add to how well it works, and thus the whole program.

Also related to MLS would you actually consider doing a direct genetic component for the sub this time? I ask this because I know at the time of the last MLS you said that you predicted at best, regarding the IQ component, you could probably get IQ to move up by 10 points at most. Since then I think with MHS was the first time you found a safe way to add direct genetic subliminal suggestions and since there is still a lot of scientist that think genetics highly influence IQ I thought maybe if you had thought about introducing that component into MLS to help with the IQ part of the script? (while doing it safely of course). On top of that just in my personal opinion the data from that might help out later when you decided to put your subs under more scientific scrutiny as it might at least help partial give some idea of just how much genetics influence IQ possibly. I'm just saying it as a possibility. I don't know if you've already thought along these lines. Either way whatever you decide I'm all for it.

@Shannon Hey decided to repost this since I think it got buried before you could see it and reply.

That is definitely something I will have to look at.
