what is worth personal responsibility when one is ignorant of the stakes?
yeah I wanna be chipped to keep my job... to COMPETE ??? LOL
or wait, to get the universal basic income benefits, you must get chipped
money and competition were all a giant farce

‘You will get chipped. It’s just a matter of time.
In the aftermath of a Wisconsin firm embedding microchips in employees last week to ditch company badges and corporate logons, the Internet has entered into full-throated debate.
Religious activists are so appalled, they’ve been penning nasty 1-star reviews of the company, Three Square Market, on Google, Glassdoor and social media.
On the flip side, seemingly everyone else wants to know: Is this what real life is going to be like soon at work? Will I be chipped?
“It will happen to everybody,” says Noelle Chesley, 49, associate professor of sociology at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. “But not this year, and not in 2018. Maybe not my generation, but certainly that of my kids.”
Gene Munster, an investor and analyst at Loup Ventures, is an advocate for augmented reality, virtual reality and other new technologies. He thinks embedded chips in human bodies is 50 years away. “In 10 years, Facebook, Google, Apple and Tesla will not have their employees chipped,” he says. “You’ll see some extreme forward-looking tech people adopting it, but not large companies.”’

New breed of medically-enhanced 'elite super workers' who are smarter, stronger and faster will arrive in 2030
PwC surveyed 10,000 people across the UK, Germany, China, India and the US
It examines four visions for the future world of work shaped by competing forces
In a world where business is put first workers will have to strive to stay ahead
Physical enhancement techniques and equipment could become the norm
Surprisingly 70 per cent of respondents said they would consider using them
.............. And megatrends including shifts in global economic power, depleted fossil fuels, extreme weather, increases in global population and an ageing workforce will also shape the landscape.
In a world where business is put first and 'corporate is king', workers will have to strive to stay ahead and use every advantage at their disposal.
The report states that, in this world, 'human effort is maximised through sophisticated use of physical and medical enhancement techniques and equipment, and workers' performance and well-being are measured, monitored and analysed at every step.
'A new breed of elite super-workers emerges.'
PwC says 70 per cent would consider using treatments to enhance their brain and body if this improved their employment prospects in the future.
To understand why this might be, the company examined people's attitude toward work.
Almost three quarters (74 per cent) of people surveyed by PwC said they saw it as their personal responsibility, and not their employers, to keep their skills up to date.
