Inevitabilism is self-fulfilling prophecy bullshit.
The “metaverse” seemed inevitable to media hype and inevitabilists like yourself until it went over like a wet fart. Maybe something like either thing will take over one day, but smugly telling people something is inevitable is less than useless.
EDIT: I originally deleted this comment because I thought maybe I was wrong and that you were just talking about the inevitability of credulous trend-chasing consumers trying to get superpowers with this junk, but it seems you do fully buy into it.
brain chips are inevitable. They will eventually be safe and useful enough that people will use them.
Nah that’s basic biology
Judging an entire concept in perpetuity based on a single, early implementation is beyond short-sighted.
What do you think about the Soviet Union and CYBERSYN? LOL
You sound like early Internet skeptics.
You’ve inherited a Marvel™ soy version of Calvinism, we are historical materialists, not luddites. We just understand why you’re repeating what you’ve heard elsewhere. I.e
The Internet (now, brain chips, etc) will be a liberatory force and cause a great awakening
Lol no it just reified existing relations to production. The superstructure maintains and shapes the base, not the other way around.
In the end you’re just waiting for a tech breakthrough to solve climate change without drastic changes to production and labor relations the same way evangelicals are waiting for the second coming of Jesus. The world doesn’t work like that. There is no horizon.
Nothing changes unless you’re operating collectively in the material world and using scientific methods to correctly understand preceding actions and to correctly determine immediate and future actions.
The irrelevant take on brain chips is based on a bare minimum of historical analysis and a respect for relevant fields like biology, economics and history. They are a dead end for the relevant future, i.e the next 100 years max before climate change reverts and deteriorates global modes of production to the point that brain chips continue to be totally irrelevant and probably at that point, impossible to produce.
Liberals believe in infinite growth the same way evangelists believe in God, zero connection to the real world.
I know you want your chip treats and you want them now, but they’re not coming any faster by being Reddity here.
I’m a full leftist
This hivemind
SUCH A FULL LEFTIST
Detach your mouth from the footwear of your corporate billionaire overlords and stop proselytizing about the inevitability of techno rapture and maybe you’ll fool some people, bootlicker.
“Zero connection to the real world”, Christ, the irony.
Don’t expect people to cheer them on, especially if they’re owned and operated by companies ran by and/or . Also, the heat death of the universe is inevitable too; what’s your point about that?
They will eventually be safe and useful enough
I don’t buy into your empty faith in exploitative techbro bullshit inevitably leading toward nicer and kinder things; some technological things can and do get worse over time, especially software, and I don’t see how brain chips from the same techbros would be any less exploitative when capitalism requires growth mandates and that means more exploitative systems and more hostile practices over time.
Judging an entire concept in perpetuity based on a single, early implementation is beyond short-sighted.
Assuming it is both inevitable and will totally be nice to you and give you neat powers is escapist wishful thinking without material analysis.
You sound like early Internet skeptics.
You sound like a credulous NFT investor, complete with the “this is INEVITABLE” chanting and the “everyone will bow to this eventually and praise it” wishful thinking.
Be as passive-aggressive as you want, “buddy,” but you’re making unsubstantiated claims, trying to chant them into existence for your own personal need for brain chip treats, all while ignoring the downsides of the current economic system and consequent technological trends, especially enshittification.
and understanding technological trends
You don’t.
You keep saying “inevitable” like society has a “science bar” that builds up over time like a Civ game, where it’s only positive upward changes.

I get it, you want brain chip treats.

Now you’re trying concern trolling. It’s weak Reddit shit. Stop that.
You first, “IT’S INEVITABLE, THE CHIP TREATS WILL BE GOOD AND YOU CAN’T STOP THEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEM” true believer.
And yours is not one of them.
More concern trolling and passive-aggressive smarm won’t get you your chip treats any faster.
Or at all
Blueberries! It always go wrong at the blueberries!
