I've been drinking a glass of horse blood every morning for the last
34 years. But my penis still hasn't grown any larger...

Nice someone remember the old gifted writer Cordwainer Smith. I
read it when I was quite young and became impressed with his theory
of making people with animal qualities, people similar to cats who
could see in the dark, people strong as lions, fast as leopards...
He was a weird person, worked for FBI or the CIA.

"May the horse live in me"
Interesting experiment, interesting storytelling, but far beyond
reality
"She explained to Centre Press that the whole process made her
feel “hyper-powerful, hyper-sensitive and hyper-nervous.” She
added: “I had a feeling of being superhuman. I was not normal in
my body. I had all of the emotions of a herbivore. I couldn’t
sleep and I felt a little bit like a horse.”"
Interpretation, wishful thinking - bullshit.
Anyone who had medical tests done in an hospital to check out the
heart and who has been injected with chemicals knows it needs
little (these chemicals) to make you feel a completely different
person. (anxious, calm, nervous etc)
Chemicals have a deep impact on our being (all drug users know
this too), feelings, experiences of ourselves, so it's no wonder
horse proteins make you feel changed, anything would.
I like the experiment, the discussion it triggers, but I abhor
the biased language used by these artists. In my opinion it
doesn't take science serious, only uses it for something else.
Yours
