I read the GP post as: "The discussion about the French McDonald incident shows that there might be a real clash between people wearing such aids and an anti-camera culture."
The above obviously contains a great deal of interpretation.
Honestly, I'd say that there really isn't. I'm sure you're an upstanding guy, but it's a slippery slope. Maybe acknowledging your pithyness might encourage someone else to start a pun thread. And then we may as well pack it up.
This may have been a joke and people are responding coldly, but that is something we're going to have to see. As biomods become more frequent and start helping more people, there are going to be biases and hatred to those that look different because of them; and I imagine there will be different kinds of austricizing based on early tech (bulkier systems) and later tech (normal looking eye, except for a couple weird parts that look like tattoos, but are circuitry, for example).
But despite all that, I am sure people will be very. very happy to see again; or in the future, perhaps for the first time.
I wonder when babies will be the subject of these implants, so that babies born blind can still learn how to see properly. This is very exciting!
Err, why the downvotes? I remember an old story that I can't find a link to about him having these implants forcibly removed at an airport and being unable to fly.
They don't have a great record with medical implants.
