    Why not? Transhumanism is cool. It would take a lot of convincing for me to be sure that it is safe, but I also roll the dice every time I drive to work or take a pill so whatever.

        Don’t get me wrong, there’s absolutely zero chance I’d sign up for Elon Musk’s shit, but this kind of augmentation is very likely to be cellphone tech levels of disruptive - you’ll wake up one day and it’s going to be ubiquitous. Nerve interfaces for prosthetics are already becoming commonplace, and cochlear implants even more so. I truly expect that all of this “mystery” is going to be uncovered quite quick once commercial viability is demonstrated.
