Elon Musk Neurolink

Have you heard of it?

It's a brain chip that controls your mind. Takes out a piece of your skull, and it's inserted into your brain.

It sounds like an amazing opportunity for the potential treatment of paralysis and other major disabilities.  I'm not sure if it is really ready to just be a "phone interface" anytime soon, however.

Sounds like the implanted chip thing that Christians are worried about.  Is Musk even aware of that?  He's not a Christian as far as I know.

I've heard about it, and to be honest, it sounds like one of those things where everyone says "I would never get that!", and then everyone does get it a decade or two later 😛 . 

 

With that being said, it sounds like there's plenty that could go wrong here... I can't see myself being an early adopter!

I actually agree it could help people with disabilities, but I would never get it myself. They could use it for mind control, freaks me out.

I'm definitely a fan of privacy, religious beliefs aside.  It's just simply something that invades privacy and I really don't like people bossing me around.

it sounds like the first one was a wild success.  I suppose you could downplay "play civilization vs a high risk surgery", but I personally couldn't even imagine the joy that something like this would provide to a full quadriplegic who would have otherwise found gaming completely inaccessible along with most other forms of entertainment.

I'm an ex-Christian & studied the bible several times. Christians are worried about the Mark of the Beast. However, I think for most of them it's more a fairytale. They believed in it, was pounded into them at church. But they were thinking it'd be a fast implement. Tech moves slow & that's how you get people to be unawares. You make something small, get people used to a little here & there. The very thing they preached about many years ago IS happening now. Just think of how they used that Virus to herd people together & to separate them with "tracking chips" in the phone.

Now, I'm not saying I believe the bible. But I do believe people read it & make some things come true. The What came first, the chicken or the egg?

As for the topic, No, I would not have this. I don't believe in having FitBits & Smart Appliances that can "read" your life. I certainly don't want an implant IN my body.
