Sad to see this downvoted, probably due to the mention of drugs tbh.
I feel cognitive liberty is underdiscussed. Not just in the context of consumption, but also in the context of mental autonomy. One of these days, if we don't have a strong cognitive liberty protection, they'll end up developing technology to "read" people's minds (which of course will be unreliable at first), and if we're not careful then the idea of having privacy in our own minds will be a thing of the past. If that happens, I fear we'll slip into a dystopia within a quarter century.
- dr_dshiv 7y agoIf that's so clear, how come no one seems to care about cognitive liberty?
- LocalH 7y agoProbably because they're worried (somewhat legitimately) about more currently pressing issues. I have no hard evidence to back up my assertion. It's just my feeling after observing the path our societies are traveling. I really hope I'm dead wrong on that.
