Mengele is the right comparison because this is not just some oafs botching a surgery, this is sadist shit.
Also the poor monkey finding some comfort by holding hands with her "roommate" through the cage makes me want to cry

Whenever some bazinga techbro looks down upon animals (including human beings) and says they are "just meat computers" or that "love is chemicals and therefore meaningless" or "relationships are just transactions" I think it might be a deep-down overreaction to them seeing moments like that and fighting off pangs of guilt about where the treats are coming from.
. He wants things to look and act like the fiction that excited him, no matter the actual consequences.Didn't Elon recently try and justify the use of lab monkeys for the experiment by saying they only used monkeys that were at the end of their lifespan? This one was just 6 years old. Not that it'd shock me that emerald boy would lie, but see almost no push back on this is sickening.
Also scary how the people doing this experiment only continued pushing further and further. Like, how desensitized to this shit are they going to be once they start doing trials on humans? How far are they going to take it?
It's wild that "It's okay, we only did this on DISABLED monkeys" is the thought that comes into his mind and he thinks, "Yeah, that's perfect. People will understand and be fine with it."

A lot of people will and are fine with it because it's only going to happen to disabled people (first, for now) until it happens to prisoners and other coerced undesirables next. This isn't a slippery slope fallacy. It's a well-worn trajectory for Mengele shit.
This is a guy who has a company that is messing with brains. He can't even grasp, nay worse, rejects modern psychology. How the hell is he going to begin to understand how to deal with the brain?
Doesn't the brain give off electromagnetic waves? Can it not also recieve such waves? Why are they stuck on sticking electrodes in squishy brain matter than just putting a "thinking cap" on?
Those hard drugs they put that monkey on holy shit. Tourture. Just torture. Did they not consider the monkey was rejecting the implant and maybe, idk, take the damned thing out? But for months they tortured her. Serial killer vibes.
Maybe someone should use a fork on the melon man's melon 
a la Hannibal Lecter

He's not the only one. A few weeks ago I got into it with someone that insisted that all of psychology was worthless and that all mental illness could be better treated by computer science. The implication was that some smug bro-coder could make a replacement for EMDR or CBT over the weekend by touching a computer. 
This actually makes me want to vomit. The thought of doing this to disabled people and being praised for it is so fucking gross
this is like but but I saw one video of monke playing video game
That was so cool and totally worth this absolute barbarism
