Iā€™d prefer if they didnā€™t drill a big hole in my head. Whatā€™s the fatality rate with this surgery?

In the presentation theyā€™re planning to have robotics do the operation.

So far they have only tested it on pigs

I might do it in 10-15 years when the technology is perfected or safe enough or proven enough. I donā€™t know.

I will go for it once itā€™s affordable.

FDA are on board, just got to wait to see what NHS England decides. Probably would work out cheaper than meds in the long run, not sure. Meds seem very expensive

My brother keeps saying or asking if itā€™s an isolated system like can it be hacked? Thatā€™s my concern if it uses bluetooth or wireless techā€¦not the same as a heart thing or whatever itā€™s called. Iā€™d be worried about people hacking and getting into my head first and foremost.

I think what Elon Musk has proven with Tesla and SpaceX is that he has the know-how to solve some big problems.

Been watching his Joe Rogan interviews on YouTube, and I think heā€™s genuinely one of lifeā€™s good people.

Canā€™t imagine what Iā€™d do with his sort of fortune.

Price matters. I wouldnā€™t be an early adopter of course because Iā€™m sure ECT would ā– ā– ā– ā–  it up and EM like air ports and MRIs unless it can be detached and removed. Iā€™m sure some meds would interfere with it and make life extremely nuanced and complicated for doctors too.

Iā€™m sure the med industry and banks will be pissed off. Just like everything pisses them off especially bitcoin.

Itā€™s time things change and we move on from big pharma, big banks, corruption, greed, etc.

Elon Musk has proven himself. Heā€™s a revolutionary genius man.

I know once schizophrenia is cured and other illnesses hospital banks pharma etc will do whatever they can to block and get rid of these technologies and do what they can to keep their greedy trillions away from the people and the tech that makes them happy and less sick. Itā€™s getting pretty bad now man.

Never.

I didnt watch it, but read some things about it. This guy is a lunatic and a creep. I would fight in every single way i could think of to prevent having this implanted. George Orwell would turn over in his grave if he would see thisā€¦It is like 1982 on steroids. I wish i would know ways to protest and block such developments.

I would (without exaggaration) rather die or spend all my days in severe catatonic psychosis than have this implanted.

I think you dont need a lot of imagination to see why this is terrifying and what it could lead to. They say they want people to slowly get used to such things. Never in my life would i consent to this and i think people should fight this instead of sell themselves off to big tech companies.

ā€¦This isnā€™t a cure for schizophrenia its an attempted fix for spinal cord injuries. Maybe some sorts of epilepsy? or seizure disorders.

Do you guys believe that Elon Musk can find a cure for schizophrenia?

Hey @Daves17

Typically, we like to leave inactive threads alone and just start a new thread instead. This is different than how some forums are run, but we do it this way because it frequently upsets users to have old topics revived when they are no longer relevant. It can also be frustrating to the person who revived the thread when they donā€™t get a reply, because the original poster is no longer active or no longer finds the topic relevant. Feel free to start a new thread on this topic.

Thanks,
