I recall a Black Mirror episode, "Men against fire," in which the near-future soldiers are implanted with a mind-machine interface that allows them to be highly efficient in coordinated military maneuvers. The MMI also allows the controllers to enhance certain information stimulus, as well as dramatically altering their perceptual matrix. I wonder if MMI will become as ubiquitous and normalized as individuals communicating primarily via texting. MMI will allow our masters to control public perception with a flick of a switch, but then again, they already have such power via social media platforms. Information polarization and targeted dissemination already allows for unprecedented control of the masses, who willingly partake in propaganda, even in so far as paying for the privilege of being programmed by their masters.
