Werner, maybe the cosmic oneness of enlightened being has endowed humanity with analytical ability as a means of shedding our fallible mortal coils and transcending into realms that stoopid humans cannot understand. Maybe it is a test, to see if we can reattain true oneness through technical innovation before we blow ourselves up and fall prey to the illusion of oneness incited by mind-altering drugs that distract us from our true mission.
Things that make you go hmmmmm.

DMT, many movies are actually created to inform us at to what's in store for us in the future.
Terminator, would be a prime example. The powers that be want to merge man with machine.
It's already a reality.
Indeed. The chip implants were revealed in 1953.

healyje, what can I post as evidence microchips will replace cash and credit cards in the not too distant future? How about a vid of a fellow with an actual chip!? Somehow, I don't think this will convince you.
As I posted earlier, that video is way old news. And, if you worked in high-tech software development, you'd realize what a massive pain in the ass all the various (if not endless) security logins are. The Swedish guys in the video came up with a cool solution to that. But it's just a tool, they did it to and for themselves purely for fun and convenience, nothing nefarious or coerced about it. They did it with an implant because it's cheap and easy compared to other biometric options which involve either expensive hardware or a significant amount of software work. What they did was pretty much dirt cheap and easy.
As for the fluoride, I speak of it being added to our drinking water.
Then why post up a link for a study that was about the neurodevelopment effects of naturally occurring fluoride in groundwater?
We spoke of this some time ago, remember?! Portland put forth a motion to add fluoride, and the citizens voted it down. I recall you were pissed about this.
I wasn't pissed at all, just observed it was a similar level of ignorance involved as there is with the whole mindless anti-vax stupidity.

No, they aren't created to inform us as to what's in store for us in the future. Sci-fi has always explored what's possible whether dystopian or not - there is no covert messaging in those explorations - they are what they are.
The powers that be want to merge man with machine.
There are no "powers that be" who collectively want to do anything and certainly don't want to merge man and machine. That doesn't mean we aren't pursuing all manner of man / machine interfaces. We are and on all kinds of fronts, for all kinds of reasons: spinal cord injuries, better prostheses, better machine control, etc. But none of it is driven by anything but the advantages of doing so.
Elon is an entirely different deal, he's got a lot of money to put behind his ideas and beliefs; some of which are great, some are simply overzealous and not going to happen like he thinks.
It's already a reality.
Actually it's not other than in the most crude ways imaginable and that's why Elon is throwing a bunch of money at his Neuralink project. There are lots and lots of hurdles to these sorts of endeavors and even if successful they will be deployed on a very limited scale and only for a very few use cases where it makes sense economically or for safety reasons.
Bottom line? Neither you nor I are vaguely significant enough to bother with in the scope of anyone's imagined nefarious schemes - certainly not at the price point it would take to do so. And really, why bother when more successful coercive tools like twinkies, french fries, 'reality TV', supertopo, and cellphones are readily available.

Can't say I share the sentiment.

Hacking and demanding ransom is simply business, with call centers nowadays. This could make cybercrime rather interesting.
All these things works as long as one can trust the government and the state around oneself. Practical, even.
But with nazis, racists, fascists and other creepy ideologies on the rise, one just have to remember Nazi -Germany. Not very long time ago. What if all these tracking possibilities had been possible back then? Six million dead people had seem as a moderate amount.

Question: If I take the battery out of my cell phone is it still traceable?
Edit: Where to put the chip? Up my arse. That way it'll be gone to where it belongs soon enough.

Yeah, that's not just a little creepy.
Although the ad's slickly-done, and for anyone who's got a handle on biometrics, data-mining, and marketing, the potential seems infinite.
