The way people are talking about Musk’s Neuralink FDA trial approval is so frustrating to me. “Oh haha, Musk fanboys are going to get their brains fried!” But that’s…. that’s just not how FDA trials work.
They’re not things that perfectly healthy people can sign up for just for fun. FDA drug/medical device trials are for specific health conditions - I’m having a hard time finding which exact conditions Neuralink is approved to have trials for, but all I can see is they intend to treat neurological conditions in general.
When you look at people who sign up for trials though it’s pretty much just people who are absolutely desperate for a new treatment because what’s available isn’t working for them - or they have no medical insurance (medical trials usually cover not only the cost of the trial but the continued treatment with the trial drug for X months/years after) and people just desperate for money (many trials offer financial compensation).
And it’s like…. Sure maybe a handful of those people might be Musk bros, but they aren’t going to make up the bulk of the ones killed and maimed by this. It’s going to be disabled people in desperate situations, I’m sure many of whom have no idea or only a vague idea of who Musk is.

Sure public school is bad but was it really that bad that it caused you to unlearn basic facts about the world around you or do you just like being an incurious dumbass
“What????? Africa has cities in it??? And people???? Damn, they didn’t teach me that in public school” yes they did
okay. listen. I try not to be pedantic about this sort of thing but it’s starting to get on my nerves. the wire mother offers milk but not comfort. the cloth mother offers comfort but not milk. if something is comforting, fun, or otherwise compelling, but lacks substance, that is the cloth mother. if something is boring or unpleasant but has substance, that is the wire mother.
