I wonder why is it immoral. I understand that mind control would be, but voluntary external muscle control?

- yjftsjthsd-h 7y agoIt still breaks individual autonomy, probably.
- mmierz 7y agoIt’s not external muscle control, that’s not what a TENS unit does. OP is describing using painful electric shocks to punish a worker for mistakes or for going off-task, i.e. brutalize workers into performing with machine like efficiency.
- MPetitt 7y agoI think he was proposing using the TENS for muscle control similarly to https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=5QYpD428hAQ https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=5QYpD428hAQ
- jotm 7y agoOh, OK. I also thought it was electroshock motivation. You still can't just "turn off" your mind, most likely. You'll just be trapped there thinking
- nitrogen 7y agoI have actually met people who vehemently insist that when they "space out" they aren't deep in thought, they are literally off -- not thinking at all. It's pretty astonishing how much variation there is in people's inner minds. Some can imagine spatial relationships in great detail. Some can't even imagine a simple stick figure, but can instead remember long lists of information.
- rapind 7y agoInteresting comment. It's so obviously immoral to me, that seeing someone question it has me considering how morals are instilled in other cultures / generations. I don't mean to frame this from a moral high ground either. Just mildly curious.
- dragonwriter 7y agoTENS isn't muscle control and what is described doesn't seem to be voluntary but imposed (and economically coerced) use of physical pain as a means of correcting workplace errors.
