Again... not saying it’s not possible. Human beings have already played a game COLLABORATIVELY, with only mind to mind communication... this is a philosophical comment on what neuroscience should do, not what it is able to do.

For example, as of this writing, you could have an experimental procedure that results in light sensitive neurons, that when excited by a laser, stop your breathing and remove the sensation of asphyxiation to let you die a painless, playful death.

(Optogenetics, table stakes)

So I think it’s massively important to discuss what should and shouldn’t be done with Neurotech, otherwise with the rate the “throughput” argument is going... aka all of these joystick developments... your life value will be pegged to how many blockchains your mind can mine... enjoy the matrix!
