Yeah, don't.

I used to think implants and shit were cool until I worked with impants and shit professionally. The reality of the situation is this:

1) There are no implants of any kind currently extant that are not pale, shitty imitations of the things your body does already.

2) There are no implants of any kind, nor will there ever be, that will leave you better off than if you didn't have them because your body doesn't like having non-body stuff in it.

3) The reason people revile freaky shit like LEDs in your hand is they're designed for revilement.

The dude? With the camera implanted on the back of his head? That sings colors to him? That was implanted why, exactly? it needs to go in his skin because... then he gets to call himself a transhumanist? It's like the chucklefucks with the RFIDs in their hands. In case you forget your own name or something. 'cuz the deadbolts that work on RFID work on RFID cards and if you've ever had an RFID keycard, you know how shitty they are and how often they crash. Oh, but you don't want your keys stolen. Fuckin' sew it into your wallet or something. Stick it up your nose. I dunno...

There, look. You're cyber as fuck and you don't need some jackass that isn't even a licensed tattoo artist giving you blood poisoning by sticking a fuckin' circuitboard under your skin.

Punk is punk, and that's fine, and that's admirable, and yay safety pins through the nose. But the thing about the punks is they were honest about their shock attempts. They did the shit they did to get your attention and make you feel uncomfortable, the way your culture makes them uncomfortable. They didn't get all high'n'mighty about the ethics of transhumanism or claim people don't like glassholes because of a failure of philosophy or some bullshit.

Ain't nobody gonna begrudge a blind man an electric eye. It's the people that say "look! I did something deliberately repellent to make you squeamish, now if you feel squeamish it's because you're prejudicial!" that cause all the turmoil.
