Hopefully we’ll have more compassion in the future and treat criminals like they’re in need of help… not ideal test subjects for a new torture machine.

So, how about these rich villains that have taken over Usa, what help do you offer them?

Having power over others means there is temptation to use that power for your own gain, and at others’ expense. Resisting that all the time is a lot of effort, best to reduce the amount of power to a more manageable level that if abused would take advanced of less people.

They’ll implant new skills like “learning to knit”, but won’t mention anything about how to use the three seashells.

I can promise you that if such a technology is introduced, it’ll be used mostly to implant people with memories of them committing a crime they didn’t commit, to make them scapegoats.
It’s interesting, one would think that with more and more technical means to abuse power the societies would be more keen on due process, deontology, and philosophy or a society of free and equal people bending their heads to no one. It seems the opposite, the further, the less important these things are considered. Like a positive feedback loop, which is the same as an explosion or other destructive change.
Probably Western societies are dropping all that new stupidity since Renaissance and since even earlier, when the Catholic church, despite its problems, held the idea that only a society of free people answering for themselves can be Christian. Their elites want to be sheikhs and behead those they don’t like.

Oh so we know punishment focused response doesn’t increase rehabilitation so the idea is punishment in a dystopian sci fi way?
We could like, try listening to the experts instead
