natural selection at work

They’re constructed hierarchy not natural (That hints that someone didn’t want to be the fuckup alone & created a destructive system for everyone) otherwise we would be living in a socialist utopia.

I invite everyone to listen to this episode, The history of humanity with Christopher Knight historicly.net/…/the-history-of-humanity-with-chr…

Anticorp,

I want to thank Facebook for making it blatantly obvious to us that we should never get any brain implants. They’ll definitely use them to read your thoughts and push ads straight into your consciousness. Oh, and you’ll probably have to pay a subscription.

Musk is doing more to make people realize how garbage capitalism is than Marx ever could.

imagine physically embedding the fucking musk into your brain, VOLUNTARILY. i can't imagine anything worse in the world

Zetta,

Well the disabled people getting this implant probably don’t care about musk, it’s legitimately a cool technology and good competition for the medical space.

Musk is a cuck still, and I’m sure we’ll have to wait a couple generations before we get the dystopian stuff in Neurallink

Zron,

I still don’t get how it’s at all safe or practical to have what amounts to a smart watch embedded into your brain.

The surgery they want to do literally involves removing a piece of your skull. Falling and hitting your head without a piece of your skull removed is bad enough, this is going to seriously compromise the strength of people skulls. Which is especially bad when you consider it’s meant to solve problems like paralysis. I have a feeling that people who are just learning to walk again may be at a high risk of falling. Now they’re at a high risk of falling and cracking their skull open like an egg.

It’s also charged with a wireless charger, which would need to placed on the device every night when you sleep. How many people remain completely still the entire night and don’t move their heads at all?

This is a cool and valuable first step for brain augmentations that can probably help thousands of patients, but the implementation has so many glaring problems that it makes me wonder how well the actual product even functions.

eestileib,

How many people remain completely still the entire night and don’t move their heads at all?

Anybody with sleep apnea who has a CPAP has solved a harder version of this problem. It sucks and takes a while to get used to but it’s way better than waking up with a headache every day.

I assume that if the implant is helpful the overnight charging will be readily accepted by users.

(I’ve got a peripheral nerve implant myself so I am quite familiar with what lengths people will go to to relieve pain)

const_void,

People are still driving Teslas right now. Pretty much the same in my book. You’re trusting your life to a proven moron.

Hazzia,

Slightly off topic but I live in the DMV area and whenever I notice someone with the specific combination of both driving like someone who is not at all paying attention to what’s going on around them and having 0 respect for other people on the road, 90% of the time it’s a fucking Tesla.

You live near the Department of Motor Vehicles? /s

I have no clue where “the DMV area” is, even after Googling.

jscummy,
Perfide,

Why would I google when it’s much easier and much funnier to assume they meant the Department of Motor Vehicles?

masquenox,

i can’t imagine anything worse in the world

I can… there are literally people who are willing to participate in Musk’s Mars colonization fantasies. They stand about as much chance of success (or survival) as those people who got imploded in that Titanic sub - except their deaths won’t be as quick and merciful.

derpgon,

I’d encourage those people, less dumbasses on our planet.

I’m starting to get some real Golgafrincham vibes.

crow,

I’m not putting anything in me that’s not foss. I worry for the tech illiterate though when they eventually adopt this idea.

abraxas,

I agree, I love the idea of a brain chip, but not if someone can change licensing terms on something that’s INSTALLED in me.
