I'd never opt for it unless i couldnt function without it, and I sure don't wanna live forever in a computer, or at all. The potential for abuse is astronomical. Let's hope we have fought for a massive shift in consciousness before this comes to full fruition, right?
If I needed a chip in my head to function in society, I think I would just withdraw from society. I'm barely comfortable with our reliance on smartphones and internet connection in our day to day lives.
Absolutely. This is the only social media I use, cause i get really good stipulation here, otherwise I ignore my phone and have largely cut a lot of the b s out of my life. I'm a recluse by nature, so I feel you all the way.
