Off topic thoughts: Actually, we could may well be the VERY advanced biological version of what is formerly known as artificial intelligence. Why? How do you know, Flynn? I know because I know stuff.
So to suggest that humanz will become dehumanized is far-fetched and irrelevant as I believe the humanized template is perfect as it does contain what is known as a ‘soul’ imbued with the Holy Spirit. So y’all gotta count your blessing as your Temple is Holy. Don’t spoil the fun with sins of the flesh and sins of the eyes.
Anyway, I do NOT feel fearful or horrified that humanz will become hooked up to machines as this has already help many lives. The intention is to help the disabled without limbs for starters and then y’all are gonna mess with more advanced stuff, like organs and brains.
As for helmets and mind-control, those already exist as I’ve already experienced many times when I had NO control over, say, my arms and fingers. For me and to my rational mind, I find this experience VERY fascinating (a la Spock from Star Trek).
I know there is time delay between transmitting thoughts via the conventional computer keyboard or microphone into the digital clouds, but, hey, that’s all we have and at least we are afforded some small amount of control over which PRIVATE information we wish to share online.
With that said, the author of this news blog is VERY handsome. And I happen to live in Silicon Valley and I am NOT aware that free speech-hating against the guy happens to exist in my neighbor-HOOD. Hmm. I am dismayed.
