> Where is the flaw that would allow them to take control again? The flaw is in your consent to the authority of the brain scan. Just (((who))) will be in charge of these brain scans? Who will build and maintain that (((technology))) ? Where will the CPU be manufactured? Who will run the servers and the (((security))) of the network for which these brain scan systems reside? Not to mention the overarching flaw already aluded to: the consent to any authority. Whether 'a government of good people' a cop, judge, a doctor: your consent (and belief) in these authorities is closer to the core of the problem, no ? The problem is you: you consent to authorities, thus 'authorities' fill voids in your world where you believe they are needed (often a result of being programmed via propaganda; not entirely your fault but is your responsibility to comprehend nonetheless). Stated differently: you believe in a world which requires third party authority for governance, security/policing, medical treatment and so-on. I used to believe too. If the Coronacommie should teach us anything is that this 'system' we believed in is no longer valid; this way of thinking is in fact a cancer and now the parasites own us as a result. To reverse the trend I agree we must address the core problem but where we differ is that you are trying to pin responbility on others when it should be on yourself (to reject all authorities since they will degenerate into pathocrasy as you point out).
