What's the best VR game you ever played?

Well that's just tech that is separate from us. Can you imagine the American right allowing brain interfaces like what would be needed for full sensory immersion... they can't even accept 5g which is just a generational leap on communications technology. I can see the tech being allowed under certain medical conditions but no way in hell is it becoming a consumer product anytime soon even if it is developed. Nah. Not happening until there is generations apart and even then the view society will have on the ethics of it is hard to predict.

There is so much more to consider then, if it is implemented it may cause psychosis or have other mental health effects, the first time a mass shooter who was a user of the tech, it'll be blamed on the tech. It could get released a few generations from now and could actually cause real harm to people's minds and then be regulated into oblivion. 

It's just to far a jump. People won't even wear facial tech like smart glasses or use that RFID pellet you can put under your skin. Now there is one avenue for it to happen, China takes on the world as leader of the super powers or becomes soul super power and yes, we'd likely have tech like that cause it's so easy to control people with and ethics seems to go out the window with the CCP. I for one would very much not like this to happen no matter how cool the Cyberpunk future would be at a glance....it'd be so fucking cool.

You can already buy consumer devices for mind computer interfaces. You don't need chips implanted in your brain for that.

Same for neural feedback. It's still crude but body suits are getting more advanced as well.


But sure, installing a neural port Matrix style, that's not happening any time soon. However people do all kinds of questionable and dangerous things to their bodies for looks, distraction, pain relief, pleasure.

Ethics come far after the fact :/

In 2020, an estimated 2.7 million people aged 12 or older, in the United States had an opioid use disorder (OUD) in the past 12 months—including 2.3 million people with a prescription opioid use disorder. Overdose deaths involving opioids have dramatically increased over the previous decade to 80,411 deaths in 2021.

That's all FDA approved...

It's already easy to control people, look around you. No need for mind control by implant, they already have it. The Matrix is relevant here as well, it works because people still belief they are 'free'. It's much easier to make people belief they want to do your bidding rather than forcing them.

Perhaps. People rejected the first Matrix but I don't see people rejecting rule in China... or maybe they get disappeared nor can we see them through the great fire wall.

Arah, I never thought we'd get the VR we already have so soon. Maybe there is a chance for some kinda nano tech or something that bypasses any direct involvement you'd see at the macro scale. That PS9 advert come to mind.
