But I would likely happily make that tradeoff if I had some horrible illness or life-affecting disability that could be remedied with an implant.
If I had to choose between the ability to use my legs and “only” living to 75 instead of 85, for example, I’d take the implant 10 times out of 10.
Sweet. No healthcare, housing, or food. Genocides continue, but at least we’ll have a persistent connection to mega-corporations to keep track of us and adjust stimuli to surreptitiously alter our behaviour to keep us productive to make more money for oligarchs.
Gotta get more micro plastics in my bloodatream
Well we are already like 8% plastic
Less than 3% growth annually is a body recession.
That number seems low
“One challenge is that although PVDF is biocompatible, it can break down into so-called “forever chemicals,” which remain in the environment for centuries and studies have linked to health and environmental problems. Several other chemicals the researchers used to fabricate their material also fall into this category.”
Haha, put the PFAS directly into my veins!
Ah, sweet, new manmade horrors beyond my comprehension.
As a type 1 diabetic with multiple attachments already this sounds great.
