[ExI] Brain prosthetic startup

[William Flynn Wallace]

Hmmmm... OK got it!  We create peace-chips and implant them in all the
leading candidates!  It detects whenever they get peaceful thoughts and
stimulates the region of the brain associated with sexual arousal.

I get what you are saying - you want to reward the peaceful impulse.  But I
suggest that adding more testosterone-filled impulses to a political person
is tossing gas on a fire.  Too much of that hormone makes one just crazy
and I am, as a psychologist, not kidding!  Q - where do you find the women
with the highest average testosterone level?  A - prison.  Males are much
the same.  High testosterone  (Hillary's problem?)

I actually talked about this with my endocrinologist.  I asked her if, in
the future, it could be possible to alter the timer in the brain to just
release certain hormones at certain times of day, and she said YES.

So I propose altering candidates' hormone levels to where the sex hormones
are very low until after the election.  (Would Trump have anything at all
to say?)
