Reply to comment by Bakoro in Researchers develop an artificial neuron closely mimicking the characteristics of a biological neuron by MichaelTen

Computers (even the brain) take a lot of energy, you'd have eat a lot more food to run your upgraded brain

Also Facebook (or whatever version of it will exist then) will just use it sell ads straight into your consciousness

I haven't had a problem accessing an excess of calories.

Facebook can try whatever they want. It'd be a brains arms race, and at a certain point, people would be smart enough to design and manufacture their own stuff, rather than being beholden to corporations.

The thing about intelligence, is that it tends to be freeing.
