Heck no! a chip in my brain? and a Google chip? no, no no no no!
I don't care how smart I would appear to be, or how I may snap some photos without my crush secretly, I do not want any chips in my brain, thanks but no thanks.
Well, unless I was like that lady who had not taken a sip of her coffee for 15 years, and that was the only way I could have my morning chai, well only then, maybe.
The potential benefits for a chip in our brains, if it is available for everyone on the face of the planet Earth, would be such as a greater equality for individuals and societies, and omission of all diseases and disabilities. The potential dangers for a chip in our brains, if it is not at all available for everyone on the face of the planet Earth, would then be such as a greater inequality for individuals and societies, and major brain-hacks and major privacy compromises.
Personally, I really love that science advances to help better life at large, like medical advances that save millions of lives otherwise impossible.
However, I am also timid and weary on how ethically questionable scientific advancement could get should it be only available to the rich of rich---which is not a skepticism but a very likely reality. Not only the big brand cooperates but also the government have us in their sharp claws and things could only get worse when it comes to how individuals are being profiled and wired and tapped and monitored.
I rather look stupid and not know all the things there are to know, but to live at peace and have my life not censored and examined by the hidden chips.
But I understand for those who need a new heart, a new arm, or even a life that can be preserved.. people that are in a dire situation and struggles to live... they would do whatever to live and stay alive.. if a chip is what it takes, it would be more than stupid to pass it by. so again I respect that and understand that, and actually I do support that, for I believe technology is to better life, but not to be used as a tool to manipulate anyone in the population.
I can only hope and pray to God and all gods that human conscience will rule and will keep the potential danger of manipulation such as bran hacks happen.
in the end, I rather live off on a farm and grow foods for myself and my family and my community at large, and not be able to text my friends by thinking it outloud in my head.
no I don't want any chips in my brain. Please leave me alone, Google chips.
