I wrote a paper on this in college and was interviewed for grants. I told them I had changed my mind because I believed this technology would later be used in the military and then on society. Eventually it would be used to control society. They recorded me throughout the whole process and their faces went from intrigued to terrified by the end where I turned down the grant and walked out.

I am still positive to this day that this technology will take part in ruining humanity and ending free will as we know it.

First they will sell you on upgrades with computer interfaces for your children to skip college and learn at beyond human capabilities. This will quickly divide classes from the rich to the poor. Only good jobs will be possessed by the applicants with a neuro link. Imagine uploading eight years of college into your brain and then going into field training for actual experience. Next imagine soldiers with maps uploaded to their brain with enemy territories and multiple plan A B and C programmed into their brains. We are talking matrix level technology. From here you just need to put time into the actual training with any field, be it a doctor, lawyer, engineer, marine...

When I came up with the idea of spoofing memories, I soon realized that this would inevitably be used to falsify memories in witnesses minds to put people in jail, it would be used to falsify history to control public perception of the reality they live in. The world and humanity would lose free will forever.

So I walked out and forgot about the idea, knowing full well, if I didn't do it, someone else would. Atleast I wouldn't be the one responsible for the dystopia hell the future would inevitably become. First time I've thought about that day since. Fuck.

This was back in 2016-17 for the record.
