neuralink sounding like a one way ticket to technoschizophrenia

I’m of the belief that tech-enhanced humans will be the real WWIII where the left and right curves will resist and the mid curves who can afford it will embrace it and cause the schism.
Imagine kids going to school being left behind because some others have the internet implanted in their brains - that’s going to be hugely divisive in a way nothing ever has been before.
Why would they go to school? The schools will be concentration camps for un-chipped. No sense having a chipped child in school: he's already interning at a Fortune 500 👀
If these brainchips take off there will be a transition period where first it’s just rich kids at elite schools who have this, then upper middle class as prices come down and you can already imagine leftist screeching that they should be “free” and every kid should have one.
Basically we don’t move from 0 brainchips to 100% brainchips quickly (likely ever) and that interim will be all sorts of chaos.
Recall how the parasite class demonised the unvaccinated - now imagine that 100X. Any bad thing that happens by an unchipped will be evidence that we must round them up and chip them against their will if need be.
Those who resist will likely have a huge religious revival as all sorts of philosophical interpretations arise and people grasp at what it means to be human.
I’m not scared of technology but that shit is going to be the biggest disruption ever on a level we can’t imagine.
Meh.
I like my brain invulnerable to cyber attacks thanks.
I mean I have no problem with enemies who want to install another weakness to exploit in themselves, but I'll pass.
As will I.
Not the point though. There’s 8 billion people on this planet and some percentage of them are going to have this if the tech becomes available, that’s going to create a massive schism between the haves and have nots that we as humans are not ready to deal with.
Well the last 10 thousand years has been one clusterfuck after another, why would that change now. 😂
As far as I know, the last 10 thousand years hasn’t had any instances of humans essentially evolving towards super-intelligence where they’re effectively diverging into another race and all that is happening in the span of a few decades.
See the difference?
Heh, likely most of them will spend the time cybering each other in their heads & looking at stupid shit like they do with the manual version.
And following each others idiot ideas for brownie points as always.
