I do not understand why anyone (outside of maybe individuals with disabilities) would purposefully interface their actual brain with an item that is completely out of their control. I legitimately do not understand why you would allow that access.
If the company or a hostile government goes after my phone or internet, I can live without it. My brain?
- jyu 5y agoYou think you'll have much choice? Is living without internet really a choice? Is living without electricity really a choice?
- Loughla 5y agoYes, and yes. I can choose to live without internet, and it would suck. I can choose to live without electricity, and it would suck. But I can choose it. I cannot imagine a future where my brain, my actual living brain, is interfaced with anything that I do not have complete and utter control of. And it might suck, I might miss out on entertainment, medical treatments, or whatever, but you have to draw a line somewhere. There's being a Luddite and then there's being skeptical of something that can really mess you up. I am convinced being absolutely skeptical and refusing to participate with brain interfaces owned/operated by a third party is not being a Luddite.
