If Neauralink is successful, and they’re able to put technology directly into your skull, wouldn’t it be possible to scan your brain and find out what you really care about?
i think that could streamline charity.
Active monitoring , 24 hours a day, during wake and sleep
“Oh you feel something for this person/cause, here’s a direct route to donate, just click this button”
If I find myself repeatedly thinking about shotgun face dude, every time his image comes into my mind,, I think about what he’s doing right now, I think about him walking under streetlights on sidewalks, I think about him passing other strangers and turning away, hiding his face because he knows how terrifying his very image is…
Hey man,,,
How can I help?
What’s the best for you?
If it were me, I’d probably lean towards isolated living, I already kinda do, even without having my mug turned into oatmeal…
Justice, right and wrong, sympathy,empathy and apathy.
A brain device could judge you if it really knew you, if it knew how your cycle of thinking operated.
Exploitable, easy, crazy exploitable,,but also amazing capacity for good. If you could see directly into war, perhaps those hard hearts might feel a little beat in them, some Grinch shit.
The internet seems to have done that a bit, opened the whole world up for viewing.
I don’t know.
Not really talking about the distribution of wealth, not talking about selling your stuff and feeding the poor,,,,
I’d say “most”
Most of those street barnacles don’t deserve it.
Billy Corgan said there’s nothing more common than unnoticed talent,
I’d say that most of the downtrodden aren’t on the level.
You can’t really fuck with vagabonds, just as a rule of thumb,,
But man, there’s a couple, a few out of them out there really didn’t deserve it, didn’t get a fair shake, black/white whatever.
Dude got his mother fuckin face blown off, shotgun blast.
If I had a brain implant, and it noticed I was thinking of him once again, I’d like a little screen to pop up.
“Send this guy a coffee?”
Fuck yea dude, send him a coffee on me, send him some lunch money, scan his brain implant and tell me if he’s good. Tell me if he leans on the side of what’s right. Piece’s of shit can have their face blown off too, liars, addicts, scan this mother fucker’s brain, tell me if he’s on the level.
It would completely change the concept of charity.
And compartmentalization , and creation, and art, and communication, and troubleshooting, and desire, and human connection.
Far out shit man.
Really curious to see how far we go before I die, before I get to stop seeing.
You can’t call it, but let’s say I live to 80,,,,pretty crazy shit being created,, and just the beginning.
Fucking peculiar animal we are, say it true, what what .
Having an ER doctor scalpel my face open and drain the contents was both disgusting and humbling, was pretty convinced I had cancer.
Life is short…. I hate you but mostly in a playful way,, and and and and and and and,,, shit ain’t so bad man. Not at all. Shit ain’t so bad.
