Yes you did read correctly. There is a very real discussion around brain chips which will probably function as a prosthetic cortical implant to enhance our senses and communication/control to improve our performance. It has already envisioned that “general adoption will take roughly twenty to thirty years”. The arguments for this gross invasion of humanity already stem from the widespread use of drugs to ‘improve’ people’s moods as they are unable to deal with their emotions/depressions/tempers themselves, so in that regard this is merely the technological next step of scientific development. If prosthetics, drugs, psychotherapy and cosmetic surgery are all accepted forms of assisting individuals in their interaction in the world, ‘for the good of the whole’ as well as the individual, what should be so wrong in this logical progression?
In fact in 2005 the BBC" target="_blank">http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/4396387.stm">BBC reported that a paralyzed man in the US had been implanted with a brain chip that allowed him to control everyday objects by thought alone; i.e. he could think the TV on and off or change channel. Am sure there would be many people who could initially react “wow, how cool would that be?” without thinking through any implications.
It was back in 2007 I highlighted ‘psychocorrection’" target="_blank">click here being used in Russia and explored by the US Department of Homeland Security to manipulate people beyond their will using ‘subliminal messages to bend a subject’s will, and even modify a person’s personality without their knowledge.’ According to Wired last summ er, Top" target="_blank">click here Pentagon Scientists Fear Brain-Modified Foes and see a real threat on the battlefield of ‘enhanced’ bionic people – basically they are going to make sure they get the technology implemented first to maintain advantage.
It is these teleontological arguments where the “end justifies the means” that seems to be rife in society today. There is no regard for a higher moral code outside of ourselves and no regards for the Creator or His creation – which is seemingly proven by science to be some kind of mystical fairy tale. Yet the very removal of a higher entity allows man, any man, to make judgment calls on behalf of other men in as much as a general of an army can demand his soldiers to follow orders even if faced with certain execution. It all stems back to can we trust any human at the top of the chain to be perfect continuously and be beyond reproach? History proves there has been no such mere human –and certainly not with the power to control the conscious mind, via an automated “hive” to dictate and modify as ‘it’ sees fit?
Consider that “in thirty years, it will be possible to capture data presenting all of a human being's sensory experiences on a single tiny chip implanted in the brain… The most frightening implication of this technology is the grave possibility that it would facilitate totalitarian control of humans.”
Combine these technological advances and compare them to what we know of dictatorial human behavior throughout time manipulating the masses for their perverse gain and we really do have a very terrifying glimpse into a frightening future that could be nearer then we all think.
Assuming, of course, you are still allowed to think – independently.
