Should humans get chipped?

[mmmroo]

Sweden is leading the way ! Good or bad? They are aiming to be the first cashless society also.

I used to want to live in Sweden, but I’m not sure I’d ever be comfortable being around robots in people skin.

A legitimately informative and interesting YouTube video posted to these forums. Kudos sir

[Wonkie]

don't forget to get your pets spayed and neutered too!

Haha i liked this, felt the same way.

It worries me that that is all you have to say about this informative youtube video.

People will have a hard time commenting on this because they will lose their credits and multipass. Paging Dr allcome. At least if you visit Sweden everything is free with your cloned chip.

I wouldn’t do it, but I don’t have Facebook / instagram or any social media. I assume your generation will adopt things like these wholesale and never think twice about the potential for abuse or loss of privacy. It’s the way the world’s going bud. I don’t approve, but it’s not the place of the old to stop what the young consider “progress.” Also, Sweden sucks

NOT taken it. Cripes, that is just too close.

Great reply, i 100% agree. Glad i will be dead when this is in full swing.

Two recently released medical devices that are mainstreaming the idea of transhumanism:


The world's first artificial pancreas - Hybrid Closed-Loop Insulin Delivery System (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A0kDqPCi1fU)

New FDA Approved Brain Device to treat ADHD (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YXCpLNoE1xk)

I get the gist without clicking the link, I think.

Nothing will stop progress, only delay it. What delayed progress in Europe in the dark ages? Drought causing famine and disease or some such(Im a poor student)? Progress continued in Asia.


You can embrace it or end up as one of those old people who annoyingly have to be shown how to use a cell phone(flip phone, not smart phone) time after time because they refused to remotely try to keep up with technology and are now so far behind they are frightened by it. Imagine living in fear knowing you are a relic. You can't pay your bills, order food, call your family, call for help in an emergency, manage your finances, troubleshoot your damn TV system, make the new "smart" appliances in your home work. Someone else has to help you / do it all for you.

Science fiction is the future of science. People's wildest imagination are where scientists strive to take reality. Light sabers? Maybe not. Space travel? Yea. Article on space.com about some kind of sails that are theorized to get us to 20% the speed of light by using photons from the sun. Pretty damn cool. Luke Skywalker, and Darth Vader, get a limb chopped off? No problem, have a new mechanical limb. We may not quite be there, but we are close. Lives are getting longer. With CRISPR there is talk about editing genes in a way that prevents people from aging, like some jellyfish in the Pacific. Immortality is both natural and possible.

Couple that with being behind the times with technology. Imagine being helpless... for hundreds of years... phew.

quote from Men in Black:



Kay:
1500 years ago, everybody "knew" that the earth was the center of the universe. 500 years ago, everybody "knew" that the earth was flat. And 15 minutes ago, you "knew" that humans were alone on this planet. Imagine what you'll "know" tomorrow.


Chips in people? That's the least of my fears. Sign me up, the alternative is far more frightening.

Evolutionary Progress: chopping your dick off and masquerading around as a woman with cyborg implants that don't actually do anything under your skin.

Get on board, or get left behind, breeders!

Immortality, if accomplished, will be the most class based technological advancement ever achieved. It would be reserved for the wealthy.

I hope God exists, merely so everything you posted is wrong Nuggie. Immortality would be horrifying. Most people don’t lead moral lives with the burden of the ticking clock. I can’t imagine what we’d become

I'm sure most have seen it but in case anyone hasn't, Netflix's Altered Carbon is a fascinatingly morbid story about a dystopian future where the elite live forever.

[Thorondor]

Lol immortality.

My mom, heh. Should be more worried about the wife ;)

well that's the classic form of the idiom.

anyway does she? tranny!!! :D

No need to chip humans, we all voluntarily carry around tracking devices that do just about anything that surveillance technology would want us to be chipped for anyway.

Except deactivate your cash if dissent... Or activate the cyanide from the vaccines...

Pro of chipped would be barter skill cap would go up

If I were, she would. Alas, I must ruin your fantasy as I'm a boring white hetero.

World Economic Forum - What is the Fourth Industrial Revolution? (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kpW9JcWxKq0)

"The very idea of human beings as some sort of natural concept is going to change... our bodies will be so high-tech we won't be able to really distinguish between what's natural and what's artificial."

[Patriam1066]

Lol immortality.

It won’t happen. But they’ll get us close to 120 years old and old people will look disturbing (read: unnatural). I say “we,” but I’ll of course be in a pine box, my soul posted up at the southern border haunting illegals until they become functionally schizophrenic

[mmmroo]

We live in a world where this is ok now...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z4RYl75zdMY

Get ready for an entire generation of health issues...

[Ennewi]

The very idea of human beings as some sort of natural concept is going to change... our bodies will be so high-tech we won't be able to really distinguish between what's natural and what's artificial.

Which leads to a somewhat unsettling question. If, given enough time, the artificial can be made indistinguishable from the natural through biomimicry, what's to say nature hasn't been artifice all along? Or that all of it isn't contained within an even higher form of technology?

With the human race being a consequence of the natural universe, AI is as well by extension. So ultimately AI is the result of nature, occurring from our own natural inclination to play computer games, have machines do our work, etc.
