I'm just wondering what your own personal take is on when we will finally see Neuro-Cortex Plugin Based Matrix technology that plugs directly into the brain just like in the Movies the Matrix Trilogy, complete with a real life illusuory matrix world, instant download of learned skills, knowledge, books etc.

Hasn't brain to brain interface already been achieved? Wasn't that a topic here on Ats months ago?
My personal . . . take? One can already learn skills, knowledge, and books. It's called school. To wire one's Neuro-Cortex into some kind of technology, to do what one can already do is just..

That train of thought is based on the old model of reality. We are entering a completely new model and humans are on the verge (and already slowly assimilating) of merging with technology, a.i. to do some thinking for us, personal assistance, improved brain function etc.
If you would rather go to an 8 year school to get a degree, whereas I can download directly into my brain that 8 years of education in 8 seconds, then you lose, and I win. While you still have 8 years left to graduate, I already have everything you are going to learn, downloaded into my brain, and can apply for, and take the job, you wish and dream of getting after you graduate
By the way, this sort of tech is coming. The old model is a dead horse on its way out. But good luck staying in the past if that's where you are comfortable.
Faulty premises, through and through.
One is presuming that an 8 year school "to get a degree" is not designed to take 8 years on purpose, that it is not mostly a waste of energy and effort, that it is not social and political in it's form and function as a by product of control and place-ism.
That one self motivated individual can't get the same level of education on their own with "a dollar fifty in late charges" at the public library, and a couple of summers.

So all your "recursive" jpegs have no merit and give the feel that you're a 14 year old straight from 4chan.

As you wish.
Before I log out,
as obviously not being wanted here for reasoned debate,
I can not tell you the number of times, people who
categorically disagree with me,
find themselves three years later saying "holy #, he was right."

Never. This is not science but superstition, and at its root lies nothing but the ancient, atavistic fear of death.
