No one needs to put a chip in your brain to accomplish any of that. Human beings are wildly susceptible to conditioning. Come to think of it, that might be a good use for such a chip, subverting the pathways of conditioned response.
On another note...do you find that technology and humanity are at odds..such that an increase in one is necessarily a decrease in the other? I find myself thinking precisely the opposite..that our humanity is pretty much defined by our technology. Thats our thing, our niche. We;ve been looking for (and finding) ways to overcome our common mammalian biology since day one...the ultimate expression of what it means to be human may, in the end, be complete transcendence of that frame. We;ve been dreaming about that for at least 50k years..all of our spiritual traditions are based upon that hope..after all.

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
