brain chips are inevitable. They will eventually be safe and useful enough that people will use them.

Nah that's basic biology

Judging an entire concept in perpetuity based on a single, early implementation is beyond short-sighted.

What do you think about the Soviet Union and CYBERSYN? LOL

You sound like early Internet skeptics.

You've inherited a Marvel™ soy version of Calvinism, we are historical materialists, not luddites. We just understand why you're repeating what you've heard elsewhere. I.e

• The Internet (now, brain chips, etc) will be a liberatory force and cause a great awakening

Lol no it just reified existing relations to production. The superstructure maintains and shapes the base, not the other way around.

In the end you're just waiting for a tech breakthrough to solve climate change without drastic changes to production and labor relations the same way evangelicals are waiting for the second coming of Jesus. The world doesn't work like that. There is no horizon.

Nothing changes unless you're operating collectively in the material world and using scientific methods to correctly understand preceding actions and to correctly determine immediate and future actions.

The irrelevant take on brain chips is based on a bare minimum of historical analysis and a respect for relevant fields like biology, economics and history. They are a dead end for the relevant future, i.e the next 100 years max before climate change reverts and deteriorates global modes of production to the point that brain chips continue to be totally irrelevant and probably at that point, impossible to produce.

Liberals believe in infinite growth the same way evangelists believe in God, zero connection to the real world.
