RE: Self-governance and self-control: Re-chipping the mind

in #philosophy6 years ago

All true, however....
As long as we are capable of free thought, there is the possibility that we can realize that we do not like what is being imposed and can act to change it. Any procedure or device that can control human behavior will be sought after by demogogues to be used as a weapon. In limited, targeted use, of course benefits could be realized, but it is not human nature to stop with that.

As for your list, many of us have made a conscious decision to opt out of supporting those ideas. Had we been injected with nanobots at birth, our free will could have been replaced for any long list of "needed" behaviors and we would not even question why we had an unending appetite for Soylent Green and supporting the Universal Brotherhood political party.

At the top, of course, would be the One Percent who did not need the treatment so they could make our decisions for us.
