Animal experimentation with Neurolink poses problems. Raises questions.

Skip the innocent animals.  Do this on irredeemable criminals.  At least then they can be of service to society.

But it is unethical to do it on people?

Ethics are function of social norms.  Better to spare innocent animals with no ability to consent than people who have made their choices in life.  I'm not talking about 95% of felons.  I am talking about people who have no moral business being able to share air with the general public.

It'll never happen, but that's my stance.

The Neurolink thing is pretty messed up. I like some of the stuff Elon does, but this is something I draw the line on, should not be allowed.

Until we can all get along, it’s ripe for abuse.

Particularly on monkeys.
