re: Elon’s Neuralink brain chips may start human trials next year

You understand that Elon musk doesn’t want to force people to get a brain chip right? Bill Gates is in favor of mandating vaccines.

And Bill Gates has no viable plan to end world hunger and poverty.

Regardless of how much food we are capable of producing, and how good we get at transporting it to feed people incapable of sustaining their own lives by trading labor for food at no cost to the consumers, this is not a productive endeavor. It’s the equivalent of printing money.

Same thing with poverty. There is no cure because we will always redefine poverty relative to others more capable and willing to support themselves.

Once Neuralink is mastered, we need to download Musk’s brain and clone the shite out of that fricker.

It's going to be nice until those monthly subscription fees start... then when you don't pay your monthly fee, the chip gets turned off...

Shouldn’t it have already happened with pacemakers?

What can possibly go wrong from a wireless chip implanted in your head?

And yet, I can see public support for it. Convicted felons and mentally ill seem likely candidates. Cheaper to implant a chip than to house and feed a prisoner or patient.

I agree. But society is changing in how they view felons. No way these voters agree to have chips forcibly implanted in felons.

But mentally ill homeless people may be a viable target. It’s a public benefit to help people who without implants would be sleeping, pissing, and shitting on public streets. Many walk around screaming at imaginary people, which can be dangerous. If improving the cognitive function of these zombies would enable them to function in a healthier and productive manner, the public may support this. I would.
