  • Because humans are social creatures, and we like to know that other people understand our pain.

    For example, I might complain that I got a bad review as an actor. What I need is for people to say “Fuck that critic!” and “That really sucks man.” not “Have you tried taking classes to get better?” Sure, that’s objectively the correct advice but it isn’t what even the most logical human wants to hear when they’re upset.

    A brain chip would connect to a specific region of your brain. For example, in the case of a physical disability it would only need to connect to your motor neurons using read-only connectors.

    If you specifically had them implant read/write connections into your visual cortex, then sure, someone could hack it and play ads in your head but that’s kind of on you at that point.
