The once thought to be nonsense brain chip is now coming into view as news echo across the internet calling for it to be used by the US military.
DARPA’s goal which include brain chips for solders to allow them to be tracked in battle to aid find and rescue. Other applications could allow the
chip to invoke amnesia to counter negative memories during that day. This alone is worrying since it will actively interfere with memory and likely
to cause long term brain damage. After chipping the soldiers and the criminals the procedure will be sold to the general public in some twisted fashion
such as a ’safe’ way to maintain positive feelings and sensations and eliminate unwanted negative thoughts. Once first generation brain chips are
accepted as the norm new more advanced chips will be introduced such as sexual enhancement and virtual reality chips making normal (non chipped) life
dull and depressing. Having hooked a generation into using such deadly devices and the people crying out for more there will be no hope for such people.
If the chip is powerful enough to control emotions, thoughts and feelings then this is enough to control that individual through positive (or negative) reinforcement.
Never forget, we have freewill. As the saying goes “I would rather live 1 day as a lion than 99 years as a sheep”. Or should we just change ’sheep’ to ‘zombie’
and be done with it?
