I was always soooo very hopeful and excited about a future where we're linked to our computers and the internet through chips in our brains. I did not realize back then just how poorly the future would turn out, where companies like Facebook and Elongated Muskrat would be the ones pushing that link. They'll likely spy on your thoughts, push ads straight to your brain, and require a subscription. If you forget to pay your subscription then you wake up blind or paralyzed until your subscription is reactivated. What a sad future we've found ourselves in. All of the dystopia, none of the toys.
Off topic but I think he suggest this term himself after joking about scandal named with a "gate" at the back of something. I just call him Melon Husk.
