Would you let your employer implant a chip in you?
April 3, 2017 at 11:30 am
I'm not to comfortable with this idea, maybe because I don't understand exactly what data the employer could obtain or how my movements could be tracked.
Would you be open to the idea of an implantable chip?

I would never be comfortable with this. This is the kind of stuff dystopian future novels are made of.
I don't believe you. Get over it.

I have a chip that allowed medical personnel to ID me. Handy when one is unconscious.

Was anything else on the chip besides ID? Who implanted the chip? Was it voluntary?
Our dogs are always chipped with our name/address/phone.

Chipping is an extreme measure for such a rudimentary device. Like, that would be okay if you were in a high level military operation or you were search and rescue and they needed to keep really good track of you in an adverse environment. For most applications, I think you could stick to maybe a tiny wrist band or an ID card, rather than an implant.

An employer? Fuck no! Maybe if I was a top class spy or an aid worker in war-torn/dangerous countries but I'm an analyst. The worst that's going to happen to me is that someone will claim that my risk assessments are awry.
They'd be wrong.

I chipped about 300 dogs when I was with the adoption group in Knoxville using the Avid microchip product. I'm telling you right now that I don't want to be stuck with one of those monster fucking 12 gauge needles.

would the chip be capable of stimulating my pleasure center ?
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

Meh. As long as I could verify what was accessible, I would probably do it.
Not much different than carrying a NFC card in my wallet wherever I go.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
