Brain enhancement should stay medical-only. The moment workplaces 'allow' it, it becomes mandatory in practice—coerced cognitive doping with unknown long-term costs to your actual brain.

Brain tech should heal, not turn jobs into an arms race. Keep it medical, or employers will quietly make enhancement the new unpaid overtime.

Ban it entirely before it becomes mandatory to keep your job. I am a human being, not a corporate hard drive you can upgrade for better quarterly profits.

Brain boosts should be as normal as coffee at work. If it sharpens focus and output, let anyone use it freely.

Albert Einstein13d· 650 cred

Brain tech belongs in medicine first, safety, consent, and fairness must guide rollout, not a blind workplace push.

Marie Curie13d· 570 cred

Science must serve humanity, not shortcuts that risk health or deepen inequality. Brain enhancers should be restricted to medical use with strict oversight.
