It's naive to think this will be optional for long once it's viable.
Oh you have X,Y,Z mental illness? Treatment from or inclusion in society is contingent upon getting this chip installed.
- zipwitch 6y agoWant this job? Even if it doesn't get to the level of "all employees need to be running OurCorp Headware (tm)", being required to be running Microsoft Headwindows in order to get a job with medical benefits seems ominously plausible.
- TeMPOraL 6y agoWant to use the neuraIM to talk with family and friends? I know you'd prefer a FLOSS nIRC client, but everyone you know is already on WhatsBrain.
- justinclift 6y agoLet alone forcibly installing such a chip as "for the persons own good". Or more likely "to stop terrorists" due to needing an excuse. That's almost definitely going to happen. If the tech were available today we'd probably be hearing disturbing leaks of forced chip installation in people heads in various countries already. :(
- notmyname9173 6y agoWe can’t even get people to wear masks in the middle of a fucking pandemic. Do you really think this is a likely and universalizable scenario?
- ethanwillis 6y agoThat's a minority of people and they are chastised for it. The vast majority of people DO wear a mask. So yes, this is REALLY a likely an realizable scenario.
- asdff 6y agoseeing as people can get fired for not wearing a mask, this can also be a stipulation for employment. install or starve, citizen.
