Watching out of the corner of my eye I see that Mr. Elon Musk's latest wet dream, Neurolink, has successfully implanted a gizmo so that a paralyzed man can play chess online, moving his pieces with his mind.
If you are not familiar with my other thoughts in this business of putting something in you for to link up to the Intranet, read this.
As much as I care to know how it works is somehow that there's an input connection into the online game activated with a glance. [Wonder what the dating scene will be like when the chip is mandated for all us hoi polloi ... "Just one look".]
But, like in all of duality there's the flip side.
Suppose such implant is perfected to the point where just a thought, just a glance ... a gesture, can move mountains. Wow! Hey, Jesus, who needs faith when Elon Musk is on the case?
Then ... in that brave new world, if a gizmo can be jiggered for me to do stuff, then there's got to be a reverse input to get you and me to do stuff that some Wizard(s) behind the IT algorithm screen will decide what's best for us that we should do.
What could go wrong? After all, our betters know best what's best for the little people. Maybe. But who defines "best"? And, "best" for who? But, let's face it, it does eliminate all that random flux and complications from having too many people having free will choice.
Which begs the question, what is free will? Sorting out whether it's Pizza or Pappa John's for dinner? A shade of lipstick? The latest fashion. Like that?
The real free choice may simply be to stop taking the pill. Of either color. The narrative world is an illusion, don't you know. As Joe 46 would say, time for a Jesus moment.
PS The beauty of the thing for those who imagine themselves to be pulling the strings on the global comings and goings and doings is that the need for the messy and time consuming process of propaganda via the media will be eliminated. Just a push of a button. But, then, it'll be yet another war. A war among those movers and shakers to see who gets to frame the narrative. Not unlike it is so now. Just more efficient, without all the fussing and complaining.
