It just worries me that the state of medicine today in regards to mental illness isn’t much better than what it was centuries ago in terms of effective treatment. I mean they are treating symptoms but not causes of illnesses, and people often develop tolerance to their meds because of homeostasis/worsening of the illness. Here’s an analogy, It’s like they’re “curing” someones flu by putting them in a bucket of cold ice because they feel boiling hot for a couple of quick bucks instead of actually treating the cause of these symptoms.
BS that they don’t have the technology to figure it out. They know how to change dna-transcription and rna-transcription which actually works but is too expensive for the public.
The new thing they are offering is thing called deep brain stimulation which is basically implanting these chips into peoples brains that send signals. They then program the signals to do things to your brain. Okay though scary invasive, it does work.
But here’s the thing. I’m seeing a serious potential for mind control with this. There’s serious incentive to develop this as a model treatment and then create neuro-inhanisve biotech for non-health related reasons. I can just picture everyone lining up to get the new brain gear to improve their intelligence and become cool cyborgs. Especially marketed towards the 2000s generation of minecraft playing diy microchip kit apple baby einsteins. I mean say goodbye to lego, hello minecraft. If google is weird enough to invent google glass while sinking the san fransisco real estate just wait for them to turn to this.
But wait, with past experience we all know what happened to the magical internet through hacking - not just from cool teenage dorks, but worldwide government’s and their evil politics.
Have you ever watched the end finale of Dollhouse? Yeah.
