that's more talking about VR and foregoing the real world for more idealistic dream worlds, eventually leading the outside world to ruin
what I mean is that we're at a point where external attacks on your brain are becoming increasingly plausible even for non-specialists (the conspiracy-minded have talked about the possibility of radio devices, like LRAD and V2K systems and even cellular phone signals being able to affect your thought patterns for decades now), and people will naturally seek protection from companies offering solutions. think neuralink, or cyberbrain tech from Ghost in the Shell.
think about how little you understand how your computer operates - even specialists can't keep up with the deluge of new technologies, especially since so much of it is proprietary and not fully documented (if at all). in recent years we had Windows Telemetry secretly linked into everything VC++ compiles, Intel Management Engine being able to create network connections and datastreams that are totally invisible to the operating system... one of the most intricate things I've ever seen was exposed by Snowden - the NSA is actually able to rewrite the firmware on many harddrives to secretly store and transfer data without any component beyond the harddrive able to detect it.
now apply that to a chip embedded inside you that you have no way to directly understand or control. could you even dig it out without the chip stopping you 'for your own safety'?
consider that you have the option to either be vulnerable to people fucking with your brain remotely or to go to a company for protection, where they embed a chip that blocks that external interference but you have no way of knowing what else it does.
you lose sovereignty of your mind either way. -

A vr headset is next on my shopping list tbh. Did you see this?
