China is actually working on all three at once: wearable, under the skull but not in the brain (think closer electrode, without skull, skin and hair in the way), and in the brain, each of the three has pros and cons, so it makes sense to work on all as that way you can take only the amount of risk as the need for the device justifies.

There is that and then there is the fact that the US and co almost certainly wants a literal Mind-Control device no matter what they claim, but China actually wants the Mind to remain in Control rather than Controlled, and the focus is on medical advancements for human benefit. The US will charge an arm and a leg for such, but medical purposes (or rather Medical Expenses) is secondary to how the Capitalists use anything and everything to maintain control over humanity and remove threats to their hegemonic control of the world.

An example of the US use case is in how they took “Alligator Alcatraz” Concentration Camp victims and used them for Neuralink experimentation.

Edit: I guess it would be more accurate to say that control and ending perceived threats is primary when in emergency and profit secondary, but when not in emergency IE when Capitalism doesn’t feel threatened, then profit remains primary instead, a Dialectic between control and profit with one switching with the other for primary status depending on sense of threat.

Edit 2: And since Capitalists are not a hivemind of identical drones, some will be more or less feeling threatened than others at any given time, and so while some are ringing alarm bells and throwing everything at the wall to protect against perceived threats, even at the expense of profit, others will take advantage of such a situation to drive profit higher, even when it gets in the way and makes the crisis of Capitalism worse, and so they fight amongst themselves over profiteering or measures to maintain control, and we all stand back and watch and laugh at the parasite clown show as they can’t fully organize themselves over their own greed and short sightedness, and the CPC of the PRC plays them like a fiddle while the US deludes themselves into thinking they are still winning with endless copes as the empire continues to degrade. HA HA HA HAA!

Get her to read “Left wing Communism an Infantile Disorder” by Lenin

Chinese news: hey, US, if you do this thing it’ll backfire and hurt you, maybe don’t do that. US: You’re not the boss of me! “Does thing” “hurts self” US: I just didn’t do it hard enough! “Does thing more” “hurts self more”

It’s very funny to watch. Very “tis but a flesh wound” kind of energy.

This also demonstrates why the Capitalists (those who hold Capital) are so out of touch with humanity as a whole, they are the closest to their god, Capital, than anyone else, and thus are it’s greatest personification of it’s nature. It’s very embodiment of alienation, seeing everything within the binary view of “those that exploit” and the “cattle to be exploited”. And yet at the same time they are not really in charge, they are puppets to their god, Capital, this thing that isn’t sentient, isn’t even alive, but that has rules, rules that they too are forced to follow lest they become “lowly cattle” like the rest of us, and the closer they are to Capital, the further from humanity they become and may even see it’s loss as a “fate worse than death”.

And so from their twisted view, a billion people, “cattle”, dead, is a small price to pay if it can even give them just a small chance of staying close to Capital, and protecting it against the rebellion of humanity casting off it’s yoke. Making us Communists, who seek to free humanity, and who has the tools to do so, it’s greatest enemy.

Of course we Communists know that the seeds of a systems destruction exists within that very system, and that the death, one way or another, of that system is inevitable, as nothing is eternal, but for the Capitalists who are closest to Capital, seeing the death of the system the same as if it was their own death, and who have little connection with humanity for which they are so a odds with, see it’s death as the death of everything, as it is all they hold dear, all that matters to them, and so terror drives them to mythology, to see Capitalism as eternal, or at least as something they can make eternal, to keep the reality of it’s loss at bay. It is also why when it is collapsing they get more and more unhinged, they are checking themselves out from reality as they get more desperate, as it becomes harder to deny reality, they must insulate themselves from it further.

Edit: I think that maybe existence itself would be the one exception from nothing being eternal, as actual nothingness can’t exist as it is completely self contradictory at the most basic, conceptual level, meaning you can’t get something from nothing, and that means that anything that does exist must have derived from something else that exists or existed. It’s that basic physics law of “energy cannot be created or destroyed, only changed from one form to another”, that some form or another of “existence” must have always existed, but the forms within it change and aren’t eternal, and with humans being entirely the result of the configuration of atoms in a certain pattern, as a result of a long, slow, stupid process of evolution, and thus also not eternal. However, humans don’t exist alone, but as a whole with the conditions of the universe itself, so we pass on knowledge to our children, and eventually uncover the nature of reality, IE “advance science” and so eventually travel amongst the stars, do what would have been thought impossible before, because a thing is greater then the sum of it’s parts as it’s configuration enables it to do things that those parts could not do alone, humanity across generations do things no single human could before even have dreamed of.

Edit Edit: Or maybe I should say “energy” rather than “existence”, but things are getting a little removed from the concert here, and I don’t have a deep enough understanding of physics to go deeper so maybe I should stop.

Same with everything out of Hollywood and most games on Steam, anything the Capitalist Ruling Class has control over is inevitability used against us, and should be treated as already compromised. Don’t be surprised if it turns out that they are using AI on Social Media (that they control especially) to subtle manipulate everyone, not just with fake accounts, but complex algorithmic control on who sees what and in what context, and even more, like we know they shadow ban, but what if they also shadow edit peoples post, like the poster sees the original, but strangers unlikely to contact the poster directly sees a modified version of the post that subtly redirects it’s meaning. The possibilities are endless and shows why AI can’t just be ignored, why the US is so desperate to build out data centers despite the tensions, and why China is working hard to advance it also, less the future be in the hands of the US. Don’t underestimate AI, it is a very rapidly advancing tech that the Capitalists will and are using against us.
