Let's leave the obvious discussion of the ethics of transhumanism aside for a second and address something literally no one ever talks about.

Why the fuck would I want proprietary corporate hardware in my fucking head with proprietary software running on it? Why would I want my brain implant forced to update Windows 10 style? Why would I want to live in a future where every time I want to use my eye-camera(tm) I have to watch a 30 second ad projected into my consciousness?

Even if people aren't anti-transhumanism (and they should be) why is no one considering the obvious pitfalls that come with any new tech? I don't want Google to be able to access my brain and thoughts, actually.
