It’s bad enough that some people pretend to know your  thoughts before you do.  If Elon Musk has his way, computers could have direct access to your brain.

His company, Neuralink, has announced that its goal is to enable a “brain-computer interface.”  In plain English, this means that a chip implant would be messing with your biological wiring.

Supposedly, this will help with ailments such as dementia and Parkinson’s.  It will allow humans to control computers with their brains.  But therein lies the rub: Will it also allow computers to control humans?
