This is starting to happen now, and we're working on it related to neurology and improving sleep at https://soundmind.co

Cyborg always has the feeling of a severely augmented and strange human. I'm surprised by the number of people who have no interest in Neuralink, and say they wouldn't go near it.

As we're seeing the mental health benefits of sometimes turning off our digital devices and focusing on ourselves, I think this will drive the future of us not being always connected, but being connected when we want to.

I think what you're pointing to is correct, Augmented Humanity, rather than Augmented Reality.

This is a much better way to put it. Also I love some good sleep, so thanks for the link!

Who owns the OS, rootkit exploits and ransomeware attacks will get a little more scrutiny and consequential.
I know just enough about that shit to not want to go ANYWHERE near Neuralink or the 'Metaverse'.

Which is sad because I love the idea so much. Plus I remember the Web before advertising, I don't even want to think of what they'd do with NL or the Metaverse. I can see them doing things like trigging shots of adrenaline so I feel appropriately angry viewing 'Red/Blue Team Bad' video stories.
