Comments by "Tony Wilson" (@tonywilson4713) on "Elon's Monkey-Killing Neuralink Approved For Human Testing | The Kyle Kulinski Show" video.
As an avid sci-fan I'd like to point out the original 1975 version of Rollerball (not the 10,000% crap remake). If you pay attention its a society where there's NO government and the world is ruled by corporations. Note the repeated references to cities being energy cities or food cities or some other industry. Part way through the film there's a video conference (yeah 40 years before skype and other systems) of the corporate heads to discuss the problem of James Caan's character Jonathan E. During it John Houseman's character describes how the purpose of Rollerball was to promote teamwork over individual achievement and that Jonathan E. threatened that system. So they plan to kill him during a game to prove their point that striving for individual achievement does not work no matter how good you are. On that think about what the basic purpose of Human Resources are. Deal with and weed out anyone who will not tow the company line or shows any form of dissent. And if you didn't know HR we in part based on the old Soviet era "political officers." I'm surprised more people don't reference the film as a case of what could happen when corporate greed and power goes too far.
