    Yeah, super intelligence gives me a headache. I'm kind of partial to warm bodies too.

    Its not about intelligence its about the sell job to get acceptance of it. If it can make you healthier then it can also make you sicker wouldn`t one think . It allows way to much leeway to those in control of the system to use it to carry out what ever plan they want to use

    This I think is going to be one of the main pushes to get us to take the chip. If they are going to be successful, it will have to be multifaceted:

    (1) It will make you live longer (play on people's fear of death)
    (2) It will keep you healthy
    (3) It will make you smarter, which you will need in order to compete in the global worker droneforce. Also, you may not be able to get a job unless you have one.
    (4) It will be "cool" as personified by all of the Hollywood imagery about how technology is "sexy".

    Sjkted,

    I agree. They're already doing that cool part with music. From Christina Aguilera's Bionic to the dehumanization of Kanye and Lady Gaga, I think the movement is well underway. All that's needed is implementation in my humble one.

    That is so creepy. What has happened to us (collectively) that such ideas are entertained?
