Why is art as a reference point for some new technology a bad thing? We can't all get a history degree to understand ancient Egypt, so does everyone need a degree in medicine and computer science to understand neuralink?
I don't really get the meme. Even if the person is too "stupid" to imagine a technology without Black Mirror to do the heavy lifting, it's still a useful metaphor to articulate reasons why.
Because art is made up and people keep quoting things from it as if they were factual things that have happened.
Philosophy is made up to, so I guess everyone should just stop thinking?
i see your point but have you considered: its a joke
But I don't get it.
