The Last Stand Up Show
So here's something to think about :
It is fairly easy to imagine an Alien civilization existing out there in the universe . Now given the age of the universe is 13.8 Billion Years and humans are only biological evolved for a mere 200,000 years and technically evolved for less than a 1000 years ; an Alien life form that may have emerged even a Million years ago would be far more technologically advanced . beyond comprehension by 2018 standards .
Any human being is a result of its Connectome . A connectome is a comprehensive map of neural connections in the brain, and may be thought of as its "wiring diagram". More broadly, a connectome would include the mapping of all neural connections within an organism's nervous system , hence containing all information about its reflexes and reactions to every stimulus . A complete knowledge of an individual's physical connectome and how it relates to its subjective experience can provide immense power to the information bearer over the individual .
So , what does this translate to ?
If an alien decided to come to earth with a device that could take in all the data from someone's connectome and could interpret it , he would be the ultimate, wait for it .. Stand Up Artist . The alien would be able to come up with the best kind of verbal sentences with the perfect amount of unexpected twists and turns that would surely lead to the subject rolling on the floor .. laughing . However i argue that such a comedy show , delivered by an alien that knows all the details about your Neural structure would be lethal as the alien would be able to calculate exactly what to say (what mouth noise to make ) at every moment in time to bring out the physiological reaction to humor ie. Laughter and this would add to the list in of the following wikipedia entry :
