Human Lockers in Japan

Alex •

It's larger than the human cage in Hong Kong, but not by much. If you're looking for a cozy place to call home, look no further than the human locker in Tokyo, Japan. Yours for $600 a month!

One would think so, but at $600 a month, it's not exactly a cheap living arrangement (the Kotaku post referred to Japanese commenters who noted that one could rent a real room for about the same price in various, less swanky parts of Tokyo).

The title of the linked article is Japan's Coffin Apartments Are Not for Claustrophobes...which pretty much sums up my comment. I couldn't actually get the link to open beyond the title, though, so am still wondering why they choose this kind of arrangement. Financial? Sounds desperate.

If you find this interesting you should go check out Bruce Lipton also, he explains how dna/rna/signals works very good:

That was extremely interesting. However, I am not sure about the application into antibiotics. It seems more like the idea would suppress the bacteria - making the world dependent on the bacteria inhibitors long term. I can see the short term applications of slowing disease, but I don't feel like there is a viable long term application in her presentation. I do believe it would useful and easier to use the molecules used to talk intra-species as a indicator of that species in the body. but I digress and concede that it was extremely fascinating.

@gtstiggy: That's what I thought too. I think she was talking about a "treatment" not a resolution. Also if you make bacteria grow and divide and become bigger population, race conditions for resources may start. Also depending on bacteria type, the hosted bacteria may produce biochemicals that are poisonous or harmful for the host with timely growing amounts. May be there are other biological things that modified sensing chemicals do on targets she do not talk about here.
