This is good for those with spinal injuries, als, etc, who can't otherwise communicate. Any other use is malevolent.

Agree - kind of like autonomous vehicles for those who would otherwise be unable to drive. Maybe the bottom line is informed consent/no preclusion from society dt refusal.

Cyborgs are altered or augmented humans. This isn't thinking for him. It's simply an in interface. Not that I recommend it.

This is not transhumanism.

I see what you mean. Thanks.

But if they put similar apparati in all of us, they would ostensibly be able to read our thoughts, and those thoughts could have real consequences.

Reading consciousness is not the same as reading willful action.

And, as I said, i certainly don't recommend these types of interfaces.

I agree re: "willful action," but when you look at how they're already predicting potential behavior through algorithms, thought-policing doesn't seem far-fetched.

i certainly don't recommend these types of interfaces.

Completely agree. Just bc we have the ability to do something doesn't mean we should.

Here's something I wrote 10 years ago after researching mind-control technologies and the science involved. It gets into the details and explains the limitations of such technological possibilities.

I came across your "exposing infragard" series years ago when researching the role of infragard in elections. As usual, this piece is well-researched/written. You are WAY more familiar with mind-control technologies than I, but one of the key points you made about navigating individual brain differences regarding higher cognitive functions made me feel a bit better about broad application of this technology. Thanks.

Your welcome!

The name of my blog is messed up because I didn't know what I was doing when I set it up and it ended up being named after my first article post. 🙄

How easy it will be for them to record all thoughts of everyone dumb enough to get this, then those who commit wrong-think can easily be collected and disposed of.

Not a big deal tech-wise. It still relies on the same basic method that EEG machines have been using for decades to read basic brainwave frequencies and decipher the signals via Fourier Transforms (mathematical calculations). All they're doing is replacing the matrix of electrodes that normally cover the outer scalp with smaller electrodes that are injected into the blood vessels inside the scalp. They also need a device to register the eye movements on the screen to know what the person is focused on (listen :46).

This is a relatively simple method of one-way communication. It can't be used to inject thoughts or control brain functions. The company is advertising it in order to seek funding for research that has been going on for a long time and making very slow progress. They even tell us that Elon Musk is five years behind on his projected research. The chances are that it doesn't even work as well as they make out. It's still in clinical trial stage and is aimed at rich people with handicaps who have a lot of money to blow.

Let the Utopians waste their money on unworkable dreams. God designed our brains to be resilient against outside interference. Science has proven that.

Yes. These people are WBGs (wanna be gods)

And I will never understand the adulation of Musk - People need to look at what people do, not what they say.

I don't know how Musk made all his money, but he seems to have come out of nowhere posing as some sort of tech genius, which I think is a joke. If he was such a smart guy, he'd realize that his dream of brain/computer interfacing (the way he talks about wanting to be able to download masses of information directly to human memory, upload somone's mind onto a computer, etc.) is totally ridiculous. He hasn't got a clue and just throws his money at wild ideas.

throws his money at wild ideas.

OUR money - how many billions in taxpayer revenue has Tesla received?

IIRC Musk's father owned an emerald mine in South Africa. Elon emigrated to Canada and shortly moved to US. One of the Paypal mafia (with other nasties.) https://archive.is/1LioR

It would take very compelling evidence to convince me that Musk is one of us.

As an aside - You mentioned a few weeks ago that you weren't feeling well. Am I correct in thinking you're feeling a bit better? I hope so.

Patriot, if God wanted me to have a chip he would have issued me one.
