Do you perhaps have a link about the story of amazon removing the 1984 book on all kindles? It sounds very interesting, partly because it seems so absurd.

I found this terrifying, but incredibly captivating!

youre right, but I fear a future where such techonolgy can be abused. I haven't carfully considered all the positives such technology will bring into our world. I was starteled by the potential of abuse and how far technology has come.

I wasn't saying that using Bluetooth is absurd. The Absurd part, in my opinion, is treating the brain as an "input device". Ones brain should not be tinkered with.

You can not compare VR Headsets and airpods to a chip that is, literally, implanted IN your brain. - These devices generate Extrinsic Stimuli. The Neuralink however directly READS the Neuron Activity (as I understood it).

The monkey probably won't be sad. I think it is entertained all day by the researchers. Playing its games, and drinking its delicious banana smoothie. As you say; Ignorance is bliss.

I know I'm conforming to a stereotype by saying this, but I cant stop thinking about how this could be the premise of a Black Mirror Episode.

I also think we should restrict such technology. Without restrictions we can play God, and I am in no way approving of doing anyhting similar to that.

The part about pairing the monkeys NeuraLink Device "like you do with a speaker" made me laugh. Not becuase it's funny, but because it is so incredibly absurd. I dont know wether to feel good about how far technology has come, or to feel terrified about all the implications.

(I can't help myself; Nietzsche once said (or wrote) "God is dead. God remains dead. And we have killed him. How shall we comfort ourselves, the murderers of all murderers? What was holiest and mightiest of all that the world has yet owned has bled to death under our knives: who will wipe this blood off us? What water is there for us to clean ourselves? What festivals of atonement, what sacred games shall we have to invent? Is not the greatness of this deed too great for us? Must we ourselves not become gods simply to appear worthy of it?")

The problem solving can be very stimulating.

This is interesting, as I am currently reading Sigmund Freud's Dream Analysis.

Do you mean Crusty, because in my Opinion with the character he is portraying he is satirizing the typical health "crazed" silicon valley developer, is he not ?

I'm watching the talk now, the way the speaker describes the things he does seems to me like hes making fun of the Silicon Valley type lifestyle. I think the talk is really great and funny, thank you for sharing !

this is exactly what i thought !

This is pretty cool. Are there any other laptops with linux on them out there ?

Im actually trying to build a note-taking app myself. I haven't gotten very far, becuase I kinda suck at managing my project. But I think if I manage to improve in that regard, sooner or later I will have a functioning note-taking app.

I recently bougth his book "Ficciones". Still reading other books first, but very excited to read his stories for the first time.

Is its Source Code available anywhere. It is actually amazing how something like that can actually work !

You are surprisingly right, after asking this question I was consiering how I alreay have enought materialistic posessions. Altough its sentimental value is high in my eyes, I really don't need this, as you youself said, becuase I already have enough material posessions. Thank you for your answer, it really made me reconsider.

If I'm being honest, I'm more of a PNG fan.

Thank you :) I almost bought it on impulse, and I think I'm going to order it today.

Is it worth buying his "Ficciones" compilation ? I have heard about the Story "Funes the Memorious", which is also included, and have been Interested in reading it since. Altough I still have 2 or 3 more books to read.

Cool article! I recently bought a book on LSD but I'm still waiting to read it. What surprised me is that OCD was on the low entropy side, because I feel like it makes the brain more active.

is there any reason that my company blocked this website for "copyright infringement" ?

i wanted to... but not anymore :/

Its kind of funny but also terrifying how the human race is ending itself.

I think it depends more on the time that people are exposed to pollution for. I don't know for how long this Issue has been existing, but I don't think that any significant increases are going to happen for the first 30 years of such an Issue.

RIP Terry A. Davis

He didn't die because of his Schizophrenia in case you think so. He got hit by a train because he was walking on train tracks and didn't see it.

nice article!

thank you for publishing this :)

this article has bad spelling. not to be a snob but i could do it better, as a non-english speaker. also i dont get why the youth always has to be represented in a bad way. i mean most uf us are kinda stupid, but not all of us.
