Will it work on erasing this administration?

I'm more concerned about how this and subsequent Orwellian administrations will use it when they get us into Room 101.

Erasing positive emotions of memories that the state wants to override is a terrifying possibilities.

Love your family? America's Constitutional history? Your lover? Bye Bye. Now you will only love Big Brother.

I clicked on this topic 4 times already. Why am I here?

[Slyfox]

Now they can successfully make us forget about our Founding Fathers, eh?

It'll be easier than 12 years of publik ejacation, and 4 years of post high school indoctrination.

Bad memories are part of what makes us who we are and they’re also a learning tool.

I think I’ll keep my bad memories, regrets and all.

[MeshugeMikey]

BINGO

That these genius scientists missed this fatal flaw in their “work” is truly amazing even given current standards!

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

Maybe they can put all your “memories” in a syringe and inject it into the brain.

I can see a black market spring up around this technology....................

[dfwgator]

I’d do anything to reverse the memory of watching that dreck.

[Red Badger]

Remember?
There was a shooting in a cinema?
I don’t recall...................must have been erased................

[Red Badger]

Yeah, it wasn’t as good as the one with Arnold in the 90’s. And it was bad......................

That’s about mice, and the mice don’t know how to talk to us to explain how they feel/think.
It is the depth of ultimate stupidity to think that this can be applied to humans.

[Texan5]

Dumb and dumber-you could have people walking into dangerous situations repeatedly until they self-destruct-but if they’re producing mice that don’t remember what happens if they walk into a cat’s grasp, my three felines would like for me to order a few for their amusement...

Article written at the second-grade level. Very annoying. There are no specifics.

[TexasFreeper2009]

hm... you get mugged by a group of black teens in an alley.

...

you get your memory wiped...

now your no longer afraid of groups of black teens or dark alleys..

you walk down a dark alley again... and guess what? a group of black teens robs you AGAIN!

rise, repeat, ad infinitum !

[Revel]

This sounds suicidal.

There is the old saying those who don’t remember the past are doomed to repeat it.

[a fool in paradise]

It would be a denial of the African-American experience/culture.
