My two cents is that China, Russia, and who knows who else have already begun research on neural implantation. It is inevitable, and unstoppable. We are made in the image of God, so why would we not be driven to create, destroy, and change the world around us. Technology always has positives and negatives. Helping the blind to see, lame to walk, etc. will be positive. Thought control, tracking, implantation of memories will be negative. Any fan of cyberpunk will know the future will be scary, dystopian, and quite frankly, boring. My concerns are there, as with many of you, but i refuse to be wholly pessimistic about this. I won’t get the implants, but many will. My hope is that the world will be a varied place, and not under a universal system of control. There are “good guy” billionaires out there, and maybe Elon is not Batman, but it would be foolish to let a nation like China conquer and administer emerging technologies that it could use to dominate the world.
