I find it hard to believe that somebody who wants to put chips in people's brains is also a champion of individual liberty, free speech, and personal autonomy. Hope Im wrong.
Haven't seen or heard of him saying that it wouldn't be voluntary. Have you?

I remember the same arguments being made 25 years ago around cellphones. People think "If I dont want one I just wont get one"...well today you have about 90% of adults in America who carry cellphones all the time. Alot of them say they dont like the loss of privacy, they dont like the fact that the phones spy on them and collect data but they feel like they have to have it in order to function in today's society.

You can force a person in a number of ways, not all of them direct. There's no law that says I have to have a bank account, yet my town recently stopped taking property tax payments in cash. Only check. Theres no law explicitly requiring me to do business with a bank in order to own property, but thats exactly the reality. If you dont do business with a bank the state will take your property...thats the way it works out. I can have a million dollars in cash, doesnt matter. The turnpike in my state no longer accepts cash, you must have an app or speedpass. Otherwise, they will mail you a bill with a penalty attached. Am I forced to have a cellphone or speedpass? Not directly [ I dont have either ] but I pay a penalty for it.


A person who is favor of, and promoting the micro-chipping of people's brains, is promoting a world with less privacy, less freedom and more centralized control. If he isnt, he's extremely short-sighted.
Draw all the comparisons you want. He's still not proposing that people be forced to put a chip in their brain.

yet my town recently stopped taking property tax payments in cash. Only check.
Now that's odd considering most places don't take personal checks anymore. Hence, few people carry a check book these days. Can't remember the last time I wrote a check. But still, there are numerous other methods of payment that don't require you to have a bank account.

I'm concerned about him being a cunning maniac because that's what he is. Any half-way intuitive and intelligent person should be able to see that by looking at his face and eyes
I don't have a problem with it and I don't care if some other people do. Yes and yes to your other two questions. Most animals possess the same facility through both the visual cues and sense of smell. In humans reading the eyes and body/facial language is a primitive visual recognition facility that around 25% of the human population still retains as a primal survival trait. Most really good hunters or animal husbanders have it. The other 75% have lost it or it's been bred out of them, especially with the onset of the industrial revolution.

Some people simply accept it as a form of intuition or gut reaction in themselves and don't question it, they just go with it. Not everybody resents it, just some people within the 75% who don't possess or understand the same facility. Maybe some of the 75% feel a sense of jealousy and a lack of something vital in themselves and that could be what they really resent.

Do you have animals? If you do then go look into their eyes and hold the eye contact for a few seconds and see if you get a sense of what they are thinking about you. If you have the trait you will get a message from their eyes and certain facial movements about their thoughts about you.
You're not intuitive. Just hateful and probably jealous.

I don’t Twitter, but I’m thinking about joining just so I can read deeper on some of the threads.

I spent about an hour there today, and what I’m seeing is kind of funny. Basically, some leftist says something crazy, expecting a wave of affirmation, but is getting to see all the disagreement, and are losing their minds over it. I read a couple threads today where the conservative sentiment far, far outweighed the progressive sentiment, and lots of progressives were complaining about how much had changed in the last 24 hours and were threatening to leave.

It might be worth joining Twitter just to watch all the Marxists heads exploding in real-time.
Probably has something to do with this.😁
