Neuroscience offers the prospect of an incontrovertible record of the intentions behind everything we do, so jury trials may eventually be deemed unnecessary. But no chip implanted? Guilty as charged!
No implant? No job offers, no entry to premises, including shops and (gated) streets. No insurance, no rights, no identity. Not enough memory in a chip to store all those endless petabytes of neuroscan data? No problem, our brains and their motivational states will always be online, at CerebroStreamTube Live! We can even share our mental condition on psychosocial media such as CortexBook™ or our free-floating anxieties can be nanoblogged in real-time, once every 140 semantic samples, on Twititititer™.
