In the movie. Complete totalitarian control. Tracking your very move. I’d cards required for everything. I think he’s referencing it because of the COVID scam.

Exactly. It was meant to be an absurd take on the future but it was scarily prophetic.

  1. All cars in the future are electric, self driving, and have built-in GPS and hands-free phone communication.

  2. Guns are outlawed. Not even the police have them. Cops are not trained to handle physical confrontations.

  3. You are tracked everywhere you go with a chip implanted under your skin.

  4. Anything deemed unhealthy is outlawed. This includes salt and a bunch of other foods. Even sex has been banned (they actually got this part wrong as far as unintentional predictions go).

  5. Speech is regulated. You can be fined or even arrested for cursing.

  6. The death penalty doesn't seem to exist. Convicts are frozen and given rehabilitation programs downloaded into their brains somehow during this time.

  7. The leader of this society is a lunatic who dreams of creating the perfect society without flaws.

I expect 4 to be chemical castration, or social credit scores acceptable enough to have offspring.

4 just hasn't happened yet. The movie didn't show that only hetero sex was outlawed.

He wants to let you choose to do so.

He watched the Matrix. He knows humans are happier, more productive and therefore more valuable if given the illusion of choice.

Yep he knows that deep space travel will require you consious to be transferred to a robot. Eliminates the bathroom, kitchen, food storage,med bay, water processing and plus the equipment needed to fix the craft will also be use to keep your robot body working. Makes deep space travel possible.

So neurolink is a step into that is has another company working on AI conscious transfer.

It creates the fountain of youth which every rich person in history has always wanted...

Big difference is you get to choose to and it’s going to initially be for quadriplegics and what not to try to get them a better life. He seems sincere but nowadays who knows maybe I have him pegged wrong.
