Mr. arrogant and what he said about Neuralink is a huge pet peeve of mine.

Musk : “You wouldn’t need to talk,” “You would be able to communicate very quickly and with far more precision … I’m not sure what would happen to language. In a situation like this it would kind of be like The Matrix”

Let's examine this--is far more precision based on Hermann Hesse’s view: "Words do not express thoughts very well. They always become a little different immediately after they are expressed, a little distorted, a little foolish" and thus people neuralinked would communicate and communicate better with their thoughts?

Articulation of thoughts does often lose impact when spoken, particularly in such a limited language as English--take "love" for example--very ambiguous--romantic? familial? friend? subject? object? However, is the thought any easier to interpret by the other neuralinked person?

Before continued parsing, the question that should be asked with respect to any tech, is what is its value-add to humanity?

Boosting creativity; safety; productivity; communication; speed, efficiency and agility; storage and sharing; health; and automation are a few oft cited benefits

Keep these in mind as we continue and ask yourself, which apply to what Musk said about replacing spoken language?

Is linked communication to be via feelings; the language of the soul? Would the subtleties of ones feelings be understood by the soul on the other end of the link? Is there a wisdom gap between the souls? Moreover, what of filter? Impulse control? Most thoughts are not meant to be conveyed.

Using this tech to treat brain injuries and disorders serves a tremendous purpose and Musk should be lauded--but Mr Musk, as we get more and more technologically advanced, prove how smart one is as much by what one does not design—design for the betterment of humanity--not to make us less human.
