Business Proposal: A Parfait of Electrical Signals for a Dull Life.
We live in an era where AI allows us to generate countless ideas. This project involves taking 1,000 of those ideas and turning one of them into a business.
What we are consuming is not nutrition, but 'information'.
Every day, we spend an enormous amount of time and energy on 'what to eat.' 'I have to eat vegetables for my health.' 'But, I really want to eat ramen.' This endless conflict between nutritional intake and the desires of the palate.
Isn't this the most familiar and deeply rooted 'dissatisfaction' that modern people face?
In the first place, the reason we feel something is 'delicious' is the result of our tongues sensing matter and those signals being transmitted to the brain. If that is the case, we don't need to ingest the matter itself; we just need to send the signal of 'delicious' directly to the brain.
Yes, we are starving not for nutrition, but for 'the information of deliciousness'.
Therefore, I propose the 'Neural Gourmet: Taste Synchronization System'.
Turning protein bars into foie gras.
This service provides a set consisting of the latest AR glasses and a 'taste device' that hacks the sense of taste using electrical stimulation.
What you eat is a bland, 'inorganic white bar' with perfect nutritional balance. However, when you put on the AR glasses, that bar visually transforms into a top-tier, fatty steak or a melt-in-your-mouth chocolate cake.
And the moment you take a bite of the bar, the taste device sends electrical signals of 'savory meat juices' or 'sugary sweetness' directly to your brain. Your vision and sense of taste synchronize perfectly, and your brain is completely deceived into thinking, 'I am eating foie gras right now.'
Redefining 'freedom of food'.
Why is this necessary? It is so that we can be liberated from the curse of 'eating'.
You don't need to eat salads you don't like for the sake of your health. You don't need to hold back on cake because you're worried about gaining weight. You get your nutrition from a perfect protein bar and your taste satisfaction from electrical signals. Food costs, cooking effort, and health risks are all minimized.
It is a 'freedom of food' that is somewhat strange and surreal, rather than peaceful.
Coloring a dull reality with a parfait of electrical signals. That is the kind of near-future dining table we want to provide.
If you wish to stop being a 'slave to taste' and become a 'neural gourmet' starting tomorrow, please come to our counter (which is actually a protein bar vending machine).
