(14,570 posts)I hear it. So, do you think we as a species will be wise enough to refrain from 'nefarious uses' if this application proves successful? And please understand, I'm not cutting you down - I agree this could be a game changer.
But then, in this world of end stage capitalism, and our 'profit over people' mentality based on the shareholder primacy doctrine, if they actually developed such a chip, would most of us be priced out of access to it?
For example, on the ground even now, my friends report that COVID tests, are free, but the LAB COSTS are astronomical - several people with whom I've spoken use the term 'sticker shock,' - a real capitalist gouge.
I'm thinking until we are able to successfully get rid of our greed and lust for power, our technology will always, sadly, far exceed our wisdom. When I look at Elon Musk, 'wisdom' is not the first word that comes to mind.
