As with many emerging technologies, there’s concern that Neuralink might not be accessible to everyone. What if only the wealthy can afford brain upgrades, faster learning, or enhanced memory? Will it create a two-tiered society—those with enhanced capabilities and those without? This potential divide could amplify existing inequalities in education, employment, and even healthcare. Think of how smartphones and internet access already shape opportunity—and now imagine that multiplied by brainpower.
Critics argue that unless Neuralink ensures equal access, it could lead to a dystopian future where privilege is literally hardwired. Proponents say early adoption always begins with the wealthy and becomes cheaper over time. But in a world already battling inequality, the stakes are high. Do you think Neuralink could become a tool of empowerment for all—or just another status symbol for the elite?
