    You’re welcome to volunteer to be the first patient, I mean experiment

    And those practices of testing on animals are inhumane and are being phased out.

    Edit: Oh, and we all hate it not (just) because it’s musk, but also because it’s had next to no success in animal trials and offers no benefits other than data tracking inside our heads

      How else are we going to test brain to computer interfaces? All animal testing is inhuman but some of it is necessary to advance. Like I said, go complain about animal testing for vanity products instead of society altering tech. But you won’t, because you don’t give a fuck about the animals, you only care about the musk circle jerk.

        We test them when they’re actually ready to be tested. These are clearly not even ready for animal based testing, let alone human testing.

        These devices are so far from ready they shouldn’t even be near a living animal

          Do you have insider knowledge on these technologies? How do you know it wasn’t ready? Do you think they would be at human trials if it wasn’t ready a year ago for animal testing.

          My point anyways is that we shouldn’t be doing any testing for things like mascara, but brain computer interfaces are a valid reason.

          Regardless, we do worse for things that are a lot less warranted than this. Your phone has inhumane treatment of actual humans written all over it. Your whole 1st world luxury life screams of sin but you waste your time getting mad on things that could bring about great benefit just because of a name associated with it.

          Keep screaming about it, chimp.

            Nearly every test subject died. That’s pretty clearly not ready. Don’t need insider information to know that killing the majority of your test subjects means your product isn’t ready for the next stage of testing, rather it’s ready to go back to the drawing board and start over with something that won’t kill all its subjects.

            Now you’re just being racist.

                Calling people “chimps” is a very common slur used against black people

                  Okay, you are actually an idiot. You don’t think, that in this context, I might be just calling you a dumb monkey? I don’t know what color skin you have and I’m definitely not trying to insult it. Jesus fuck, the main subject is literally monkeys.

                    Doesn’t really matter. It’s still racist language used in an insult.
