I welcome these regressive assholes getting a chip in their brain that has been shown to fry the brains of monkeys if they want it. Maybe we should even be campaigning for it in the South.
Ah of course. The old: "if we do it to people we dislike, it isn't a crime" angle. Mixed in with generalizations like "people from the South".
Kindness matters, especially when it seems like there's nothing to be gained from it.
Next time I'll add the /j

why do you hate science?
I guarantee you that if you ever become a quadriplegic you’d be begging for this technology to help you live again.
All of you people realize this is a medical technology, right? It’s not just to help you post on Twitter faster. This thing helps people communicate and move again.
Medical for lobotomies right now, I suppose.
What does that even mean?
Lobotomies scrambled the brain, brain implants help paralyzed people.
I'm so confused by you people.
It means the monkeys they tested on all got lobotomized.
If it was a dull medical company people wouldn't be itching to downvote you so quickly. Elon is bad for any PR these days. but even without his chip medical science places are doing electrical implants to stimulate "deadzones" in the brain. Seems helpful for certain things like parkinsons and schitzophrenia
I would disagree, I couldn't care less about their work if they didn't make it foss or at the very least source available because as great as it is they'll take it with them when they go bankrupt if they don't share their specs, schematics, and source code, just like the company with those implants for blindness.
