Carol: Here's an itemized list of what we need to move this project forward. I've already contacted the suppliers for quotes, and checked into applicable taxes that would change the final pricing. It all fits into budget. Any questions, team?

Neural Reality 

NEURAL REALITY
n.

1. Brain generated consciousness construct subjectively perceived as a genuine state of actual being or existence that reflects, in part, the autonomous processing of exogenus neural stimuli through preexisting biogenetic/biochemical neurocognitive pathways.

2. Psychological and physiological perception of reality resulting from a direct neural connection between the brain and an artificial neural device.

3. Machine generated neural stimuli capable of inducing mental and physical perception of reality that is indistinguishable from genuine life experience.
While Virtual Reality closely simulates a real world environment by actively engaging one or more of the five senses, Neural Reality is that perception of the real world pieced together by the brain and incorporated into the conscious mind as a state of actual being or existence. The artificial nature, inherent in the former, makes Virtual Reality clearly distinguishable from what is perceived as the "real world." The same cannot be said for the latter - even if induced by artificial means.

neural pus 

A substance secreted by neurons when the brain is stressed, resulting in slowed or fuzzy thinking.

(From a mock ad in Alan Moore's comic book "1963".)
I've been trying to write this essay all morning and I don't have even a single sentence yet. I think my brain's full of neural pus.

Neural Inhibitor 

A device shaped like a steel circlet which is placed around the head of a person with psionic mental abilities (telepathy, telekinesis, etc.). The device emits high-frequency radio waves that disrupt the delta wave capabilities of the wearer's brain, thus dampening any psionic abilities. Neural inhibitors have been known to be capable of being reprogrammed to reverse the effect and actually create a barrier for the wearer against any telepathic infiltration or attack.
In 'X-Men 2: United', William Stryker placed a neural inhibitor on the telepathic Professor X's head in order to interrogate and incarcerate him without retaliation.

neural network 

A neural network simulates the brain via computer algorithms to generate artificial intelligence.
Walter Pitts designed some of the first neural networks using Hebbian logics.

The striver is an interesting phenomenon that is seen across college campuses. In essence, the striver is an over-achiever who comes from a working or middle class family. He may be an immigrant. He may have been a slacker in HS who was "born again" into an academic wunderkind. Or he may just be an over-achiever who is keeping at it.

The striver is willing to sacrifice his social life at the expense of Phi Beta Kappa and Summa Cum Laude. The striver is the guy who stays at the library long after you are gone. The striver is the guy who takes 30 credits/semester and considers anything below an A/4.0 failure. The striver doesn't work on campus, he is too busy finding ways to pad his resume instead of working retail or workstudy. The striver lets his grades pay his education by applying to ten scholarships a year.

The striver is a future Soros/Fullbright/Rhodes/Gates/Marshall/etc. fellow. The striver lives to study. For the striver, their fun comes from the rewards they expect to receive in return for their diligence. Be it Law School, B-School, academia, or politics. The striver seeks to find the American Dream through academic success.
Anthony was a striver. He transfered from a TTT to an IVY and graduated in 2 years. He studied his ass off and went to Penn Law. He got a Biglaw offer. But lost it all because of an unmoderated mesasgeboard.

Successful strivers:
- Barack Obama
- Harold Koh
