Who would ever want a memory implant?

Exactly what someone that works for Cohagen would say to keep me from remembering who I am.

Progressives, leftists... all those people that hate thinking for themselves and have no issues with a third party taking over their lives.

hmmmm.... I wonder if your mentions of asshats on socials spells out that people WOULD choose to get selective memories?

people boosting fake lives to themselves and others, could also lie about what they really did to themselves and others.

if I'd wanted to be a hit radio star and got a memory that I had made 30 super hit songs, and was adored and worshipped by millions of fans, if it wasn't real, but I thought it was, does it make any difference? I get to think I was "all that" for a few years in my past, no one is harmed, no one cares.
(personally, I enjoy EARNING my way - but, clearly, the instagram crowd doesn't)

pseudo-related: I recall reading when some company offered underskin chips many employees wanted to do it.
additionally, when GATACCA movie came out, they advertised genetic child creation on some webpage and got thousands of interested people thinking it was real.

You've pretty much answered your own question. What I'm not getting is how you're not seeing it. It's not about a "selfie." It's about experiencing something that you have no worldly way of experiencing by any other means.

So you have no desire to do absolutely anything that you don't personally have the ability to do on your own? I would think that's kind of odd. Especially for someone who's fairly active on a movie site... most of the contemporary movie experience seems to be about experiencing something the viewer can't do.

Strawman perspective:

If someone were incapable of going out to experience a situation, it may be an interesting option. Let's say a person with no immune system, muscle dystrophy, and is a quadriplegic.

Than there's thots. Take the only fans players selling a night in Belle Delphine.


People live for fantasy right now on the internet. I could see it working. They're talking about the singularity. Talk about living with experience. Everyone is connected, but not really living. Just existing with all minds at once. That itself is truly horrifying. Imagine knowing every experience your parents had. Yeesh.

I don't know about having an implant like Total Recall, but the idea of wire tripping in Strange Days is an interesting one. I don't know if I'd ever do it, but it's still interesting.

What would be the difference?

Someone please get me an implant with my hot threesome with Margot Robbie and Ana de Armas and I will die a happy man...
