You left out the option "I will stay airgapped, thanks"

Maybe it's a little too old for most of you all here, but the network defence systems described in William Gibson's Sprawl books should make anyone wary to get a device that puts them at risk of remote sending of signals that trigger a nervous system shutdown and death.

Anyone above ground with one of these in their head during a Carrington Event is going to probably at least have severe brain damage, if it doesn't outright kill them.

That doesn't even include the issue of the government getting a golden key to send signals into your neuralink. Spying on your literal thoughts, and reconstructing recorded thoughts to hypnotise you remotely while thinking it's your own voice. Anyone who hasn't tampered with their own consciousness already yet in other ways really has no idea how dangerous this is.
