When watching Da Liu's "Three-Body Problem", I believe that you are very interested in the thought seal of the third wallfacer in the text, Hines, and the person who has been marked with the thought steel seal will have his way of thinking controlled, for example, full of optimism about the future of mankind.
Why tech billionaires want to change our species once and for all, the only real attribute of the capitalist is to make money by sucking blood, which can be blatant or silent. Is Musk and Zuckerberg's deployment so drastic in the field of science and technology for the development of mankind or is it to completely enslave human beings? Let's first look at how the two are deployed.
There's no doubt that Zuckerberg and Elon Musk are the two big guys behind the giant tech companies. The former has a Meta company that runs Instagram, WhatsApp and Facebook. The second has SpaceX, Tesla, and the most mysterious and daring Neuralink. One has a plan to create a mixed reality goggle that allows us to intuitively connect with technology. The other is to consider implanting chips into people's brains to read information from brain neurons, and Musk claims that Neuralink can treat depression, quadriplegia and other neurological diseases. Which of the two will succeed on this journey? What exactly do they want? Is it possible for the two of them to achieve their goals?
Zuckerberg announced his idea of connecting people and machines as a metaverse. For him, virtual reality glasses will be used by everyone at some point, and it will be a big step in our evolution. The work environment may be completely virtual, with meetings and avatars representing us. Through the use of NFTs and blockchain, it will be possible to play games and have unique virtual items. However, it is hard to imagine today how you can bring about this reality, even by greatly improving current technology. Glasses, even the lightest with lenses to improve vision, are already uncomfortable for many people.
As for Elon Musk, it's a different story. This is mainly because what he does is actually different. What Elon Musk is doing may be truly revolutionary, first targeting people with severe neurological disorders. If they manage to cure their disease, sooner or later the chip will be used for other purposes, even entertainment. However, our bodies are resistant to foreign bodies, and it is not so simple to put something into our brain and expect the biological world to accept it calmly. In fact, in Neuralink's test, there were already several monkeys who could not resist, resulting in complaints. Regardless, Musk is always confident (this happens on all his projects, even if they don't go well).
"Leaving aside the technical details, let's put it simply, do I think Zuckerberg is a low-level slave or a continuation of the capitalist's "pacifier" strategy of enslaving humans in a virtual, advanced VR world. And Musk is obviously not a pure capitalist, it may be the capitalist version 2.0, Musk's vision may be beyond the earth. Of course, it must also be admitted that his science and technology will bring convenience to mankind in all aspects in the future, which can be said to be comprehensive development in energy, aerospace and other aspects. There is no doubt that Musk will kick zuckerberg and other established capitalists down in the future. But if Musk wants to achieve development beyond the times, human rules (economic, legal, political, religious) will become its obstacles, and perhaps there will not be a day when Neuralink will really become a weapon of thought to sweep everything for it, after all, the weapon of thought is a great weapon that can make the pope believe in Buddhism.
The above is all the author's nonsense, and everyone will have fun.
