Which utopia? I saw two dystopias. One the likely future of western society, another being one where your very thoughts are programmed

Do you think that this is not already the case? If not, what was the point of 15+ years of government education?
There's a rather large gap between "mandatory education can be propaganda" and "there is literally a chip connected to your brain".
Red herring, I think. There are many goals for education outcomes, some noble and some base.
I’m more concerned with a trillion dollar industry programming peoples minds, but that’s a far cry from Elon musk putting a chip in your head to stop your “undesirable” thoughts.
It's the same picture... Only thing different is the implementation details.
