“There are two major problems I can see with the idea of putting a computer chip inside a human brain: The first is that our thoughts and memories are no longer private. They will be accessible and hackable. Secrets will be a thing of the past. Thought crimes will be a reality, and the prosecutors will have concrete evidence. Secondly, on reincarnation the soul could become trapped inside an entity which is part machine and part human. What happens when the soul is unable to leave the body is a complete unknown, and surely also open to nefarious manipulation.”
