Scientists Are Using Brain Implants To Read Patients’ Minds, And You Might Be Next
The Federalist ^ | July 21, 2021 | Joe Allen

Last year, Elon Musk predicted his Neuralink brain implant could eventually allow people to bypass human language. With a handful of AI-powered chips jabbed into their brains, Neuralink users could converse with their thoughts alone. Poetry and liturgy would become a sentimental pastime, like roasting marshmallows over a campfire.

“In principle, you would be able to communicate very quickly, and with far more precision, ideas,” Musk mumbled to Joe Rogan. “And language would — I’m not sure what would happen to language … [But] really, in the first few versions all we’re going to be trying to do is solve brain injuries.”

On July 14, the transhumanist goal of neuro-telepathy came a step closer to realization, thanks to a major breakthrough by a team at the University of California, San Francisco. Neuroscientists surgically implanted a subdural electrode array on the surface of a stroke victim’s brain. For 81 weeks, they fed his sensorimotor cortex signals into an artificial intelligence system. Using the algorithms’ predictive power as a sort of auto-complete feature, the team was able to translate the subject’s attempts at speech into text with extraordinary accuracy.

Spooky. Government could turn this into a weapon. It is bad enough the people are being censored for written thoughts, it seems the near future holds much worse if we do not remove anti-freedom establishment types from government at every level. (If my brain was wired then what I really wanted to write in this post would send me to a gulag. Yeah, I self-censor on FR all the time.)

Yeppers. That's what motivated me to post. I'm just one of many in Bannon's army of deplorables.

I will not take it.

At some point, me and others like me will disappear without much being said and soon forgotten most likely.

If you want to read a man’s brain, get a breast implant.

Yes that is spooky...

But consider this...

It could be used to put a permanent end to all government school indoctrination!

How you might ask?

Well just a Parents pass DNA down to their children, imagine if parents could ALSO pass down their thought processes, memories, neural patterns, etc etc to their children!!!!

NO MORE SCHOOL!

Also IF said offspring did go to school they would have ALL THE PARENT’S TOOLS to overcome ANY indoctrination thrown at them!

If the government bans this in a futile attempt for retain their power this will go underground and we will be living in some weird cyberpunk novel/game.
