Anything that feels good can potentially become addictive. Regardless, sorry if it bothered you. Frankly though, direct brain manipulation is going to open up all sorts of more direct ways to fuck up your brain, where we were limited to more pharmacological methods previously.
Didn’t bother me; I actually found it pretty funny lol
I’m waiting for the day Total Recall or The Matrix can become real. That’s the kind of stuff Gabe Newell has been working on recently. Haven’t heard from him in a while tho… You don’t suppose he’s trapped in his own mind do you? 🤔
Once your mind is digitized, then repairing any damage to it becomes as simple as finding what went wrong and changing a 1 to a 0. Once a subject is mastered, this becomes feasible.
In human history though, that mastery is earned through large amounts of trial and error. Marie Curie for instance, died of cancer that was likely caused by the radium she studied for so long. She just didn’t know. She had no reason to know.
The early decades will be the trial and error decades. Not the mastery decades. I guess I hope you’re really young, you might have a chance then.
This is the wildest “slippery slope” argument I’ve ever read.
“Hey guys, be careful you don’t get addicted to sleeping!”
