Just a little joke.

The mark on the back of the hand is a thermal-powered tracking chip. They're already being used in dementia patients. They could someday be used in other people though, for 'security' reasons.

Personally, I think it's sick, and sad, and disgusting. The final triumph of the happy little clones.

Mark of the Beast?? Maybe. It certainly amounts to saying that the Made know better than the Maker what each person should be. It amounts to another, massive, step toward achieving interchangeable human parts, just as Our Glorious Ford would wish us to do.

+2 Literature Geek Points if you get the reference.

On that note-- It makes me want to cry. Where do I sign up to be one of the trial patients?? It makes me sick, but I am among the utterly and finally defeated.

As hard as the Autistic life has been at least I got to live one. Does not look like future generations will.

Yes but you will get McDonalds burger adverts beamed directly into your head when the implant detects you are feeling hungry. There won't be an "ad-blocker" for the implant either. You will awake to the sound of breakfast cereal adverts, go to the toilet listening to toilet paper adverts and toilet fresheners, when you undress you'll be bombarded with adverts for washing powders and so on...

From "The Man With the Electronic Brain" also known as "Blood of Ghastly Horror".

DR. VAN AARD - He had no family ties, no one to ask permission of. There's no point in asking the medical authorities, I knew what their answer would be. But I had to test it, sergeant I had to test it, I had to! I operated on Joe Corey, implanted the device within his skull. Only one thing remained, The activation of the artificial component in Corey's brain. It had to be energised by a special high-frequency, high-voltage machine.

The experiment was at once a success and a failure.Joe Corey was returned to a certain level of normalcy, but his psyche, his personality was destroyed, he was a different person. More importantly, his apparently rational behaviour would suddenly give way to bursts of maniacal and homicidal fury. In these periods he was capable of unspeakable and subhuman acts of violence.

Sergeant Ward, you don't know the torment I have suffered carrying this awful secret with me.I know it will ruin me. I just had to tell you, I had to, I...

SGT WARD - I hope you're not making a pitch for sympathy, doctor...Seems to me that you're the monster here, not Joe Corey. You created and turned loose a homicidal maniac with an artificial brain whose every action is completely unpredictable.

You're right about one thing, doctor, you're through. Fact is, I'd like to lock you up right now, except I'm not quite sure on exactly what grounds to arrest you. But when the district attorney gets my report I'm sure he'll think of something. Good night, doctor.

What happens when the day comes when if you are on the spectrum and you are not allowed to do X until you get a brain implant?


Run as far away as possible of anything that has to do with DARPA. The world is becoming an even scarier place with the technological advances taking place so rapidly.

cure asperger? CURE? WHY? WHY WOULD I WANT TO CURE THE ONLY THING THAT MAKE ME, ME! Curing asperger would be suicide. If you are not you, and there is no original you, then you are not existant, and you are dead.

It wouldn't change who or what you are. It just corrects the part that is misfiring and screws up your social interactions.
