Ah the latest in technological abomination is upon us: “organoids”, or mini human brains grown in labs and hooked up to wires to provide the most advanced microprocessing power currently available. These brains even grow quasi eyeballs that can perceive light. We were not meant to wield this power, but we can, and so we do. Morality be damned, apparently. And this really begs the question: are we all just organoids on a petri dish in some lab? Are we living in a society of organoids who are themselves developing organoid technology in a simulated reality? It’s too disturbing to contemplate for long. A version of the Matrix where we’re enslaved, not by machines, but by other humans, which is a far more likely scenario, given what we are as a species.
