I think we are in the pseudo transhumanism era, where we can not live without our smartphones and smartwatches. But these brain implants can be a big thing for disabled people, for everyone else it is a nightmare, something like the end of humanity as we know it. Full control. Death of privacy, full slavery.
It was interesting that the way it was presented at the plan B forum conference, was that this would be privacy, open source, decentralized or something oriented etc. (it's kinda funny I spaced out right before the brain chip image popped up on the screen after Paolo sharing about the rest of their many suites of focuses) so it was a bit starling when I looked up and returned to listening, but it seemed like this is supposedly the idea behind it and their involvement.๐
Very interesting, I overheard someone saying: "in a room of paraplegic this presentation might have made sense, but in a room of Bitcoiners?!?! ๐", referring to the fact that about 2k attendees of the Plan B Forum this weekend we're introduced to the Tether Evo plans and resented the brain chip project idea amongst other tech they are working on.
1. I think it will happen weather we like it or not (if it is not already happening)
2. Sad to not have more awakened people here on nostr specially in this kind of topics like biology/biohacking/health there are a lot of mental and societal barriers for many things, many pleasures to be sacrificed may be.
Could you clarify? Do I understand you correctly that you are of the opinion that brain chips could be a needed enhancement to human existence or that it comes with losing something innately and inherently natural?
With different interface, we already have used chips to "enhance" our existence, the enhance part is debatable, of course because our happiness is nothing compared to our ancestors.
I might be crazy but, with AI boom, and centralization, imagine the case you and me belong to a hunter gathered tribe, (the most natural kind of living I can imagine) the rest of the world continues its current development, in one moment they would want to conquer us, use our land, take our lives Idk you name it.
I mean, if we want to be free or sovereing in the physicial world or sense hahah, we will need to adapt, what do you think?
Aren't you on #nostr to help prevent a centralized world? I think you are placing the organic human on the bottom of the chain or something and underestimating our innate power because of which demonic forces want to take over our bodies. (transhumanisms) Maybe put up a fight first and don't lose a battle before it has begun? Organic life on earth deserves to thrive and be protected. I am here to be a source gatekeeper so I don't resonate with that, no. If you wanna be sovereign I'd think one might explore all that is available to help reclaim and sustain your sovereignty. (Like decentralization, like Foss, like ๐ and organic high nutrient density food, like liberating from addictions, like healing self worth and realizing your wholeness). Putting a chip in your brain to me personally is anything but sovereignty. Maybe there comes a time when I have a different understanding of this tech but it is not in this moment and I prefer it not be getting massive funding (to populirize this motion?!?) from the most profitable company on earth that is painting a picture of being a Bitcoin ethos aligned such too ๐คท๐ปโโ๏ธ
But to summarize. If I get it right, you'd be in your nature habitat and it will be fear that drives you to get in on it? Have you tried spending time in nature lately? Do you spend much time in and with nature currently?
Thanks for reading and replying ๐๐ซI don't know why I start talking about these kind of things I "know" a lot of things and have a lot of imagination and memory for this kind of weirds topics, but I should stop thinking about this hahaha I am really young and fragile mentally still, will continue this discussion in a few months future or something, thanks ๐ง
Awwww, you have full permission to explore all of these topics. I always say, I reserve the right to change my opinion and perception at any moment. Being able to go this route and that route and the emother and explore what could be has value I think. Imagination is a beautiful thing. Anyways. Do you! :)
