What are your thoughts on Elon Musks neuralink project - it's goals, it's prospects for success / failure, it's competition, potential profit?

Do you think that the idea that neuralink, or it's competitors, have a reasonable chance of developing it further to allow for say - expanding my memory via an implant; making it easy for me to learn a foreign language, via an implant; "downloading" a 3 year University degree, via an implant. What are your thoughts on its possible cost per person, and a timeframe for widespread commercial use of this "further development".

What are your thoughts on this technology creating a further "wealth divide", where wealthy children will have their parents pay for them to have an implant to improve their memory / ability to quickly solve abstract concepts and therefore do better at school, get better results, go to a better University, get a better job, get better remuneration etc, while others, who cannot afford "an implant" will get left behind.

Lots of ethics and morality with this issue. My government has an approach of "let the market decide", which meant that one of the greatest achievements /revolution in the last 20 or 40 years - the internet - went unregulated, so that individuals or private organisations had to make decisions about internet privacy (eg cookies), internet security (eg ASIO, NSA etc monitoring of internet), and access / pop ups / spam etc. Now, 30 years after politicians should have regulated the internet (but didn't), my politicians are now complaining that "letting the market decide" isn't working when it comes to the internet ( Incredible hypocrisy in my view). What do you think are the main ethical/ moral issues with this technology that politicians (and citizens) will be complaining about in 20 years time.

What do your parents do for a living? What car do they drive? How much is your horse worth? What school did you go to? Where did you last go for a holiday, and who paid for your holiday? Who do you live with, and how much is the rent that you pay?

If this capitalistic society is as wonderful as you make it out to be then why, for example, are staff in the social care sector in the UK being paid a pittance for hard but valuable and necessary work whilst the sector is in crisis,

💯

and the organisations behind that care are stashing away the profits in tax havens.

💯

And how is it acceptable that people sit there and let this happen after singing their praises during covid.

💯

The idea that there's no ceiling and people can attain anything they like is farcical,

💯

maybe it's that way for a lucky few but the odds are overwhelmingly against anyone who isn't born in to money if you ask me.
