I'm not sure why you're being downvoted because what you say is true. If medical devices provide a two way path of communication between the brain, then it is certainly true that there is a risk of manipulating the human brain directly with not-so-friendly intentions.
- skimpycompiler 11y agoDownvoting should be used to indicate relevancy. The comment is obviously relevant. They downvote because most are still little boys and girls just exerting their right to downvote, not intending to use it for it's real use.
- skimpycompiler 11y agoYep, that's how one downvotes irrelevant comments.
- corin_ 11y agoFYI the founder of this website has said that downvoting a comment to show disagreement is perfectly fine by him, not just for irrelevant/spammy comments. Personally I've downvoted you for the tone of your comment not for the fact that you expressed disagreement with people downvoting the parent comment.
- skimpycompiler 11y agoYep, it's perfectly fine by me too. Not that downvotes or upvotes mean anything. My comment was not serious at all, just a little bit of provocative commentary.
