AnthonyBrain scanning, HCI, and neural implants hyped as the "future of work", improving efficiency, and so on: resist all of it with every fiber of your being, because if we don't we won't have any beings left to speak of.<br><br>These technologies are none of those things. They are, instead, an attempt to enclose the psyche, one of the last large wellsprings of unexploited value left.

At that point you'd cease to be an individual person: psychologically, private space is necessary to develop fully as a human being. You would instead become some sort of appendage, as independent of your company and government as your fingernail is from you.
