The PERM

 Assignment: Write a description for a new invention—something the world cannot live without! Include specifications, materials, what the device is for and why we need it!

Answer: PERM (Personal Emotion Regulation and Monitoring device) for everyone especially people in power.

There is this scene in the movie Mission Impossible – The Final Reckoning where the President surrounded by her key advisers and Cabinet Members stands poised to trigger a nuclear bomb that will destroy millions of lives. The tension in the room is palpable with the Defense Secretary looking like he is on the verge of having a stroke.

Imagine if at that time, the Defense Secretary, the President, indeed everyone in that room, suddenly experiences a soothing sensation, one that steps them back from the adrenalin and toxicity of the immediate situation, and back into a space where they can view the problem in a different context. What action might she take under those circumstances?

Imagine that moment in the White House when the VP is berating President Zelensky for not being grateful enough, for not being respectful enough to dress up for a meeting with such important people. Imagine a little soothing sensation creeping through his system, eliminating all that piss and vinegar and him being able to look at Zelensky as another human being. Would history have taken a different turn?

Pick your favorite adrenalin loaded moment – what might you have wanted to do differently?

The PERM (Permanent Emotion Regulation and Monitoring device) has 3 main components

1. The sensor – which tracks key body parameters such as heart rate, blood pressure, oxygen levels in the blood stream
2.  A vial of medication to reduce heart rate and blood pressure, and increase deep breathing
3.  A monitoring and data tracking function that
1.  Records the number of episodes requiring intervention
2. Monitors and requests replenishment of medication

Contained within a tiny flat chip, the PERM is inserted inside the wrist in a special permeable pouch.

Lab tests on over 500 monkeys over a 7-year period have shown that life expectancy of monkeys with a PERM increased by 30% over the ones that did not have the PERMS. These monkeys were also better respected within their peer group, and frequently more prosperous.

In field tests among college students over the same 7-year period, it was found that the students with the PERM were more popular among their peers. The group with the PERMS also saw, on average, a 27% higher pay packet than the group without the PERMs.

Researchers project that regular use of a PERM by at least 50% of leaders in the world will result in the elimination of global conflict by 2050.
