This is one I'll wait for replication of, before even entertaining it.

Many people will have heard of 'Havana Syndrome' - a medical condition reported primarily by U.S. diplomatic, intelligence, and military officials stationed in overseas locations. Most of the affected individuals reported an acute onset of symptoms associated with a perceived localized loud sound, followed by chronic symptoms that lasted for months, such as balance and cognitive problems, insomnia, and headaches. Some people disputed if 'Havana Syndrome' was real. However here we see the perfect mechanism for making something similar happen.

There's probably upsides to this. Medicines like Ozempic seem to profoundly change human behavior for positive outcomes. This could have the same potential.

This seems like a bad idea.
