| This stuff they complain about like "Elon wants to put a microchip in your head," like maybe he said a few things to these effects at various points for a few projects, which might make sense for a few people like the visually impaired... if it was someone liberals liked like Michelle Oba... |

| When I graduated with my doctorate in chemistry, it was unfortunately during the great recession. My first post-graduation job was teaching chemistry at a local community college.

| But humans won't stop making the same mistakes over and over and over and never learning anything. And that's why all the blatant stupidity in human history just repeats itself and gets worse each time. Wait until AI becomes self-aware (links with quantum chips stage) and starts making the choices ... |

It lays out that someone that is caught using it will automatically receive a failing grade from my course and be reported to the stude... |

| About humanity and the depths of it. Of things beyond good and evil. It's a budding hate based obsession drawn from my already there existential frustration at that young age that gets worse as time went on. And there's no reading comprehension involved.
