    I saw the Nick Cage movie Dream Scenario and I’m going to say “fuck no get out of my head” right off the bat.

    Between this bullshit and Musk’s brain chips the future is looking pretty bleak.

    Also I suggest people check out Made for Love. It’s a show about what happens when a billionaire eccentric weirdo creates a brain chip…

      I just watched this yesterday. a weird one, no surprise from Nick.

      Spoilers

      Was he manipulating the connective consciousness with his desire for attention then anger at rejection? Or was it just random sci Fi with his character at the center?

      Edit If the former, I choose to view it as an alternate timeline origin story for Freddy Kruger even though that character was mentioned in the movie

        I think he was unintentionally manipulating the connective consciousness. I.e. his unconscious dreams were bridging that gap. And in the beginning he was somehow mass-projecting himself into dreams that reflected his emotional state.

          I guess I wish they had shown a bit more exposition on how it started, even if he never knew what he was doing
