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.

It truly horrifies me how many people see this Mengele shit as objectively a good thing because of their unexamined fantasies of plugging things into the brains just like in the Cyberpunkerino treats without any further thought put into it, just unexamined escapist power fantasies that amount to nerd rapture, up to and including seeing animals suffering and dying in the meantime (and very soon paralyzed human beings and quite likely other categories to come later of increasingly malevolent reach) as a necessary sacrifice toward that nerd rapture.
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
. He wants things to look and act like the fiction that excited him, no matter the actual consequences.
