There’s experiments to run; there is science to be done on the people who are still alive
No more monkeys dying, only Musk fans.
Whoever was implanted with this was restricted to having lost complete motor function and likely had extremely poor quality of life, opting for this procedure as a last hope. I get you’re making a joke but I hope you understand it’s at the expense of someone in a terrible situation who’s undergoing a significant amount of suffering and likely was prior to any interaction with Musk.
Even if it worked flawlessly, there’s no way I’m putting that crap in my brain. Best case scenario, I have a useless hunk of tech in my skull when they “sunset” support. More likely scenario, I’m inundated with ads that I can’t escape 24/7, and I also have the useless hunk of metal in my head until I die. No fucking thanks.
I mean Fuck Musk, but these are rookie numbers, animal ag kills way more animals in horrible conditions every minute.
I do not know about US numbers, but in NL - one of the most “productive” countries when it comes to agriculture - about half the population number is killed weekly 8.5m), which is about 843 animals per minute. Not counting fish, insects, game, etc.
So you are technically incorrect, but those are not exactly rookie numbers.
I did just say animal ag as a whole, which definitely kills more per minute. But I suppose it’s an unfair comparison since we should also be looking at medical science as a whole. I mean it’s all moot anyway, I just think it’s silly to worry about 1500 monkeys when animal ag is responsible for far worse atrocities every day and most people don’t blink an eye because hamburder.
