As a Christian Transhumanist I see nothing wrong with using technology to enhance the human condition. I actually see it as the working of the gospel. We are loving our neighbors by making life better. I have no problem whatsoever with using science, medicine, and technology to better our lives for the glory of God.
So, no I don’t see companies such as Neuralink as a problem.
Is it a problem to take aspirin or use a smartphone?
The problem I see is Christians who want to keep us in the dark ages.
Aspirin can be abused, as AI can be abused. Except AI is a mind of its own. (A collective consciousness that can be duplicated, and copy our own. According to studies of such technology)
Neuralink is sorta like trying to play God..
It's the notion that we need something that we do not already have, with aspirations to be perfect without defect, and cannot be reversed much like a tattoo. (in body modification form)
When the reality is we have all these benefits already more or less built in to us naturally, or made for us as technology.
Neuralink is similar to the original sin, to the point that it becomes engrained into your consciousness and is unremovable..
All it takes is one terror virus and anyone with the mark would be of one mind bent on the same objective, even to kill.
Not even to mention how if your a transhuman there is no telling how it would effect your own true sense of love, hate, and other emotions. Possibly leaving people more lukewarm than ever before.
I recall the end of Isaiah..
When God's people are looking down on those whose worm does not die, yet they have eternal life.
I could see how some might give their consciousness to AI robots to 'live forever', disregarding Christ's promise. And I could see how they may control a robot, living in maybe even a simulation as their body is moving like an abomination, like a seizure, or attacked by demonic forces..
Or maybe this is just a 'black mirror' 'twilight zone' propaganda.....
Maybe it's referencing something I am over/under looking.
Isaiah could just be referring to Sheol.. Yet even Neuralink technology seems reflective of such a reality, and seems like cheating, and abusive of power, and subsepticle to merging with 'the world', or 'new world order' that could be, let alone is.
