Elon Musk's Disturbing Show & Tell - Animal 15
www.pcrm.org
On October 31, Elon Musk plans to hold a “show and tell” for his company Neuralink. But he won’t be sharing the real stories. Away from the news conferences and carefully selected videos, Neuralink employees have been mutilating and killing monkeys in pursuit of developing a “brain-machine interface.” Like the unscrupulous showman P.T. Barnum, Musk only shows you what he wants you to see. But hundreds of pages of public records have revealed the true horrors: skulls cut open, devices implanted, chronic infections, paralysis, seizures, and death.

That is all. This modern Mengele is now going to start ordering the same to be done to paralyzed human beings. I see no reason why this won't be extended to prisoners and other typical nazi targets soon.

    Honestly I think this kind of technology could be useful and good but fuck me there has to be at least 2 dozen other ways to go about it that are loads more ethical and humane. Plugging gear into people's brains is already a thing, after all. We already do these stuff on real people for treatments with seizures and hearing and prosthetics and shit without 95% of the ethical quandaries Elon is happily stumbling into. What a fucking asshole.

      Most experimental applications of such technology that aren't Cyberpunkerino LARPing don't require invasive surgicals grafts with living tissue at all and in that way avoid the inflammation/infection/rejection problems entirely.

      In a way, the cruelty is the point for my-hero . He wants things to look and act like the fiction that excited him, no matter the actual consequences.
