Neuralink and Dr. Peter Breggin

Dr. Peter Breggin, a psychiatrist, fears the human race could become subservient to artificial intelligence. He believes trans-cranial direct current stimulation and Neuralink, a trans-cranial implant designed by Elon Musk's company, is hazardous. Dr. Breggin has written more than a dozen bestselling books on psychiatry and the drug industry and is frequently referred to as “the conscience of psychiatry.” He was instrumental in abolishing lobotomies and other experimental psycho-surgeries.

Neuralink and Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation

Breggin says: “He wants to put in multiple threadlike electrodes into the brain, into webs of neurons, and put in low voltage stimulation. This is insane. The brain can’t tolerate this. He hopes to communicate but there’s not going to be any communication. The brain isn’t going to talk to these electrodes. That’s not how the brain works.”

Darpa and Neuralink Development

The defense department, DARPA, is funding Musk’s Neuralink development. Breggin believes Musk is developing Neuralink because he’s concerned about the integration of artificial intelligence and thinks connecting to it may be a preservation strategy for humanity.

A reporter who works for Elon Musk posted an article about Neuralink along with an interview of Musk done by Joe Rogan in 2020. You can access that HERE.
