I can physically remove myself from the cell phone if needed... I can not do that with the chip. I understand what you mean, though. The cell phone is by everyone's side virtually 24/7. I get that. I'm saying, if SHTF, I could ditch the cell phone.

Have I said you don't have the lability to do that?

But you likely wouldn't because you need it to communicate and get info.

I somewhat agree but the fact that the cell phone isn't implanted makes the comparison apples to oranges.

Only if someone presented it as an identical comparison, which no one did.

I'm not comparing them.
I'm saying they are on the same slope.
Yet we all have cell phones on us right now.
So spare me the hand wringing.

But you could leave it behind if you had good reason to. Thats clearly a fundamental distinction that makes it a bad comparison.
How would you feel if it was the law that you had to carry your GPS-enabled smartphone with you at all times? Would you be telling us all to relax?

Negative... if SHTF, and I mean hitting the fan, A. comms would likely be down anyway, so no means of communicating with the cell phone anyway (point proven). B. I'm going off the grid where there would be minimal cell service on a good day

If comms are down, how is this chip functioning still?

You having the nerve to say this after starting it with that completely bunk comparison is totally on-brand.

How do you or I have any idea what it is capable of? I know the reaches and abilities of cell phone service and communication towers.

It's only "bunk" if I presented them as identical. I didn't. I'm not sure why you can't grasp that, but that's a you problem.
Also, whose alter are you?

I'm just looking for you to flesh out the conspiracy a little bit.

Why would I have the need to flesh it out? I don't have any conspiracies on the topic. I'm just conversing and stating facts and opinion on it.

Seriously what if this chip can track where I am, it finds out I’m in a house with 20 other people, and then the police come like the fricking Gestpo and bust the door down? I’m not putting that out of the realm of possibility at this point.
If the government really wanted to. They could already do that. They don't need microchips when there's 20 people all gathered together on their phones connected to Wi-fi

You're talking about a chip that will somehow still have comm capabilities when cell phones don't. You may not have a full blown tin foil hat on right now, but you definitely have the Reynold's Wrap open on your counter.

can we actually talk about how this tech could be used for actual good?
imagine you were severely immunocompromised? this tech could be life changing
but I guess the idea that the government could track you far outweighs that, amirite?
