If we were in the 18th century, for sure. for a country more than 200 years old? No.
Israel is not even a century old. There are barely 3 generations there.
He said Israel, not israelians. but it would either be another diaspora or their neighbors will take revenge and continue the cycle of hatred.
Which might be one of the objectives as well. "You can't let our people in the hands of the arabs, they are gonna kill us all in revenge for us killing them!". Ensure the israeli state exists because without it, their people die.
Other prosthetic/mechanical changes to hearts don't do that, so I would guess this one doesn't either. It would require interfacing with the brain and decoding stimulus, which would be much more complex.
Usually the recipents just keep activity low or pass out when they need the energy/heat dissipation and can't get it.
I'm not finding the video right now, but basically ozempic came from research on 2 different animals and their ways of dealing wth certain proteins. two unrelated topics from decades ago were combined to create the top drug of the moment.
So is DUNE only being constructed to keep people employed? Maybe today. We can never know in the future what their data is used for. Discriminating research by only what can be useful right away is very short-sighted
Try being in one of the many countries where whatsapp is the only path to get service from companies (banks, utilities, etc).
Even better, try living a modern life as a tourist abroad without a phone number. You can't get transportation, even public (and there is no physical payment option), you can't order delivery, you can't pay with credit cards online because you need to auth with sms. Everything requires an account and everything requires sms.
It's not just about privacy of your personal texts. People are putting entire societies in the hands of tech/telecom and demanding we identify through unsecure methods. Having a smartphone with a phone number and whatever is the main local app is now mandatory. Single point of failure everywhere.
