Each one targets a different part of your nervous system at the exact same moment. The military spent decades developing something like this in the 20th century. The ocean had already been doing it for 50 million years. Electric weapons, chemical weapons, stealth technology, drone swarms, biological armor.

It started 500 million years ago and it never stopped. #deepsea #wildlife #marinelife #conesnail #shark #oceanscience #weaponhistory
