> What's the end goal of this? The invention of books as an artificial external memory has been very helpful to us. Storing the world's knowledge into them was a kind of Utopian project in retrospect. This would be something like that but better because it wouldn't just be about storing 'raw data' but skills, the training of executive function, aptitude adjustments etc. Of course this means really changing human beings from what they were because I expect you can't change a brain this much without altering personalities. Then again, are you the same person you were before you entered the military, the university? Probably it changed. I think that is one reason people won't like it. People find it difficult to communicate with people they cannot relate to. Without shared experience this new world if it comes would be quite an alienating and lonely one.
