The Elon Musk Thread

Been telling people this for years. These implants will be available (and mandatory) within our lifetime.

Available? 100%. Mandatory? I doubt it. At least not by choice.

Musk is going to tie it into his social credit system and the upcoming digital only currency.

[maidenhaver]

Mandatory in the sense employers will require a function from Telepathy, like 99% do with apps to access your W2 and pay stubs. Its still not going to take off. This isn't what people want tech for. They want faster porn, faster games, faster pizza delivery. There's no mass appeal.

Go watch the neuralink presentation by musk and get back to me. It lets you surf the web with your mind, play any video game you want, telepathically communicate(dm and voice call) with other users, and understand any language. It's also gonna be tied into payment, identity, credit, and tax systems. Plenty of people already have it in it's beta stages.

During the presentations he has pigs chipped with it and controls them with it by making them follow basic commands.

Just like owning a smartphone wasn't "mandatory", until it was?. These things start off as optional, but will be made necessary because society will eventually be structured to function around them. Even the automobile was a luxury, before the same thing happened. Now entire cities are designed only to be driven around, and car ownership is expected.

[maidenhaver]

Yes, and none of those things were the end of the world, and hind sight will prove they were all fads and you two are fearmongers.

[The_Mask]

Owning a smartphone is still optional. You can still "move around" with just a landline and a PC, just fine.

The automobile is a much better example, I guess.

I don't know. I don't really know. You never know how human beings will try to use a tool both for good *and* for evil. I can't wait to hear the debate for telepathic porn and telepathic viruses, and trash like that.

You need a smartphone for 2 factor auth for tons of stuff now. Also you need a smartphone to read qr codes which are extremely common. Most restaurants have a qr code you scan and no menu now, movie theaters have qr code tickets, there's tons more examples. Almost all jobs require some third party smartphone app to communicate and for scheduling too. Maybe ~5% of the adult population (all elderly) can get away with not having a smartphone.

It's a perfectly valid example.

[maidenhaver]

Odds are, if somebody claims something is the mark of the beast, it isn't. Its also pretty safe to assume the local forum prophet is going to be wrong.

2FA can still be done via e-mail just fine. And all the QR codes in the world can't get you as much as a chat with the person at the front desk. You can't dislodge humanity from any tool a human produces.

Only certain 2FA can be done through email. Many 2FA can only be done through smartphone apps and others can only be done through a valid cell #. If you don't have a smartphone you aren't eating at the restaurant with qr code only menus. Tally up how many working adults here don't have a smartphone. Your tally will be 0. Tally up how many heads of households in the western world don't have a smartphone. Your tally will be 0.

It's pure cope. Having a car is much less mandatory than having a smartphone.

[The_Mask]

If you say so...

[maidenhaver]

He has it all figured out. Its pure cope if you don't take his doomsday bullshit seriously. Whatever helps you through the day when you think about your enemies closing in around you, wretch.

You’re very insecure.

How is your life going? Part of a fulfilling local community that respects you?

How about your love life? Got a good woman who loves you? Kids?

How about Church? Are things going well for you spiritually? Making progress and untying all those knots in your heart?

You and I both know the answers to these questions.

You're a manipulative shitbag larping as a holy man. You don't understand anything you're talking about.

[Irenaeus]

It will be hilarious when the brain chip starts malfunctioning.

[maidenhaver]

It will be hard to clean and cause infections. Just like a cell phone.

[KnightoftheWind]

Maiden will be first in line to get Chipped™, it's been confirmed.

Struck a nerve, apparently.

I can confirm that a phone is MANDATORY to have at times when I want to log in into my Google account. Same device, same everything, yet if I do not have another email linked to it (which ALSO has the same issue) at times I cannot log in unless I get an SMS or whatever it is they want to send. Asking passers-by was my only option until I could afford to get a phone, onto which I now keep an always logged in account to which I send every "requests" this shitty system wants and input the code they send me. It is an enormous waste of time on the excuse of security.

[maidenhaver]

If there's one thing all doomsday cultists in every age share, its that they are always wrong, no matter how hard they memed.

[Wretch]

Seeing what is clearly coming isn’t being a “doomsday cultist”. There is nothing to fear from any of this stuff. God protects His flock and loves all of man.

Falling for the delusion by giving into fear and anxiety is the trap. Chipping yourself to be enslaved by the AI hivemind in a desperate attempt to fix all your problems is the doomsday cult.

Faith in God removes fear and anxiety. It grants clarity to see through the deceptions and act accordingly. Faith in God and a personal relationship with Him isn’t a “larp” it’s life and Truth. It’s the only way anybody will endure.

[maidenhaver]

You're a luddite on the internet and you're scared of a tool because hollywood has you snookered into believing a twisted version of the book of revelations is unfolding before your eyes. Your enemies keep winning so of course God needs to stop the game soon or you will lose.

I like how in Christianity its followers are unambiguously compared to literal sheep.

All of mankind is compared to sheep, which you should know by now is 100% true and accurate. When scripture speaks of us as "sheep". it is in the context of being herded and kept safe from wolves (i.e demons). After all, Christ Himself was/is a Shepherd.
