      Holy fuck you are daft. Yeah sure anyone can find purpose with relative ease when they have full functionality of their body.

      My boy Nolan is a quadriplegic. He has been for 8 years

      Due to the spasms he was unable to use conventional tools quadriplegic people use.

      Regardless of who owns the company, he, he himself, Nolan the individual (not you, not me, not anyone else) Nolan volunteered his person for an experimental implant to regain some form of control over his person. The operation was successful, Nolan was happy, he regained a part of himself after 8 years.

      My point is you are taking your hatred for Musk in a way that is only hurting others. What you are doing right now means nothing to Musk. You are only spreading hate, and brining everyone else down with you, expect for the person your hating on.

        There are existing technologies that allow quadriplegics to use computers… that don’t involve brain chips. It’s sad that the only way he had access to such technology was by being a human test subject.

          Did you miss my comment where I said the conventional ones didn’t work?

          Also who are to make that call, like seriously, why should Nolan have just continued without the impant? Who cares if you don’t want it. Nolan did, he got it. End of that discussion.

          Now, if these other devices were that capable, people would not be signing up for an experimental implant for the same function.

          Trying to compare neuralink to anything on the market that does remotely the same thing would be like comparing a comador 64 to a modern high end gaming PC. Sure you can compare the 2 but, the modern one has more features, more power, faster, does more, ect, ect.

          Tldr; not your body, not your choice.

          Edit: I forgot, it’s sad he had to be a test subject??? How the fuck do you do that without having to test it??? Please explain the logic.
