Neuralink is coming
- The device, which offers miracle cures for paralysis, also ushers in a new era of human-to-machine interface that has so far primarily been the dark fantasy of dystopian fiction
- At present, human beings interface with computers through the intermediary of both the human body and the computing device. With Neuralink, those intermediaries of body and device are done away with, and what remains is a direct connection between thought and data
- While the current interface allows information only to be input one way, i.e. humans input commands to a computer, Neuralink will allow two-way communication
- It sounds crazy, but so too did many ideas that have become reality in recent years
Transhumanism, the idea that human beings should undergo an intentional evolution with the help of technology toward both longevity and transformation, is a concept that rests on the idea the human body, in its current form, is not the best vehicle to carry humanity into the future.
- Dr. Peterson recognizes the inherent pitfalls for humanity with the emergence of a device like Neuralink.
Neuralink is a perfect example of that
- With this device, human beings will be able to interact with data directly
- Data will flow in two directions
- Imagine a Neuralink interface between brain and mapping software like Google Maps
- How will a human being weigh data, and perspectives, and create their own thoughts and ideas if there is no way to tell the difference between one's own thoughts with data coming from a hive mind link?
