 **Would you want a chip implant into your brain?**

I'd find this very intrusive. I cannot imagine any impoant whatsoever. Or maybe it's just me.🤔

I am curious of your thoughts on this which Neuralink, one of Elon's project, is working on.

 Devilish 
 how would you define devillish in this context? 
 Slavery and control by a central authority 
 Oh? I have not heard much about it. Do you have reference to any decent dossier that I can read from? Would be keen to learn. ta! 👌 
 It‘s the future. But most likely a dystopian one. With the new exponential Technologies there was Graph I don’t where to find it… your good and bad side effects are both exponential. So you will have cases of miracles happening and human evolution and at the same time you will have the most hellish scenarios you could possibly imagine. All in all it will move society forward but we do not know which direction. Remember the flaws in this systems are the human not the technology itself. The human is subject to greed and all the other desires technology will do what it is requested to do. 
 I hear you. Would you have an implant in you? 🤔 
 I think I am too old for that. But I can see it being something all a new generation would want to adopt. In a decade let’s say 
 💯 that younger generation would probably go for it esp if it is properly marketed. But I would not trust my life on it. Do not want anyone tinkering in my brain lol 😁😁😁 I love my brain he he he and will protect it with my life 🤣 
 If I were in a position where it could dramatically improve effective communication and autonomy due to a handicap, then I would consider it. However, it is a chip in my brain—what could possibly go wrong? 😑 
 I can see the appeal from people who are struggling to communicate. But I'd question is it the only way and how would we know if it is safe? worth a ponder. 😬😅 
 Not interested in that. I like to not be tracked and monitored of every constant move 
 And this too!  💯 
 Certainly not for me! 
 Join the club! ✌️👏
