Sergey Brin from Google talks to Klaus "We all will have implants" Schwab about how one day it might be possible to simulate empathy using technology!
For those of us who can still feel, this concept is terrifying since it implies that not only do these people not have real empathy, but they are quite happy to jump straight to using technology to replace their damaged capacity for receptivity. They are so far in denial that they don't even seem to understand that their numbness and unconsciousness are disabilities formented by their intent to deny real emotions and to rely entirely on 'intellect'.
Often these types of people have mocked those who have real feelings for being 'too emotional' and yet here they try to pretend they value emotion as a way to sell brain implants. It should be no surprise that the undercurrent intent is to remotely control the population and has little do with empathy.
I implore all to prioritise the evolution and enhancement of their own emotional capacity internally and naturally. You will need this ability far more than any technology to survive in the coming future.
