Hello denizens of /lit/,
I would like to know what is your opinion about the implications of technologically enhancing, replacing adding and generally meddling with ones brain.
I'm talking specificaly about consciousness and p-zombies. /sci/'s opinion is that if it's externally the same, then nothing else should matter. What do you have to say?

I would be more inclined to believe that their opinion was something along the lines of philosophy being a mental masturbation, while only they can see the truth using their superior brains, and their less than elementary knowledge of pop-science acquired from 10 minute youtube videos and random trivia from magazines. And I'm pretty damn sure all this was expressed in the form of a: >2011, >I seriously hope you guys don't so this
template.

That said I would never wager and subject myself to this kind of technology.

If it affects the cognition, then i'd avoid it. Anything else is bearable, but don't expect any individualism to be about to arise from such uniform meddling.

OP here. I'm gonna bump this just this one time, in case I get some more input.
