This is a very interesting movement, but these guys seem to like to phrase stuff for effect. If I was putting magnets in my friend's fingers, I wouldn't call myself a "grinder". I think an RFID chip could be the most useful everyday implant currently. However, only if it and the hardware it interacted with was made by yourself. I can imagine a day where the radicals are the people cutting implants out of themselves. As an aside, this struck me as odd: Jobs took someone else's liver to survive.I point out that Steve Jobs may have died in large part because he was reluctant to get surgery, afraid that if doctors opened him up, they might not be able to put him back together good as new.
