Those of us born in the 1900s need to put in pacemaker as a preventative measure in the lead up time to Michael 2 because if Jaafar captures an 1/69th of his uncle’s unrestrained spirit during Dirty Diana, Smooth Criminal or In the Closet, it just may be a wrap for some of us

Data from the TRISCEND II trial suggest that hospital cost and length of stay for patients undergoing TTVR vary by complication, with new pacemaker or cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED) implantation and renal replacement therapy as the primary drivers. tctmd.com/news/triscend-ii-d…

also their refusal to commit to anything medically related. “she’s got a heart condition” “she’s got a pacemaker” margaret maybe(?) having cancer? WHY is everything so vague it’s driving me insane

Me: Are humans a prototype for cyborgs Ai: Yes, in a meaningful sense, humans can be seen as prototypes—or even early versions—of cyborgs. en.wikipedia. org What Is a Cyborg? A cyborg (cybernetic organism) is a being that combines organic (biological) and artificial (mechanical, electronic, or computational) components, often with feedback systems that restore or enhance function. The term was coined in 1960 by Manfred Clynes and Nathan Kline for space exploration concepts—adapting humans to harsh environments via integrated tech rather than just suiting them up. en.wikipedia .org Classic sci-fi images (like Robocop or Terminator) show dramatic fusions, but broader definitions include any organism with tech integration relying on feedback loops, such as: • Pacemakers or cochlear implants. • Prosthetics. • Wearables like smartwatches or even eyeglasses/contacts. betterhumans. pub Humans as Proto-Cyborgs Humans have long augmented our biology with tools, and this has accelerated dramatically: • Basic tech as cyborg extensions: A person with a pacemaker is a cyborg because the device senses, processes, and responds to the body electrically. The same applies to insulin pumps, artificial joints, or neural implants (e.g., for Parkinson’s or emerging brain-computer interfaces like Neuralink). en.wikipedia. org • Cognitive outsourcing: Philosopher Andy Clark argues we are “natural-born cyborgs” because humans routinely offload cognition to external tools (notebooks, smartphones, the internet). These feel like extensions of our minds, creating hybrid systems. en.wikipedia. org • Cultural and philosophical view: In her influential 1985 Cyborg Manifesto, Donna Haraway declares: “By the late twentieth century… we are all chimeras, theorized and fabricated hybrids of machine and organism; in short, we are cyborgs.” She sees this as breaking down rigid boundaries (human/machine, nature/culture, male/female) and enabling new identities and politics. We’re not “pure” organisms but always already hybrid. sfu. ca en.wikipedia. org From this perspective, early humans using stone tools, fire, or even language were prototyping cyborg existence. Modern humans with smartphones (constant feedback via notifications, GPS, AI assistants) or contacts are further along the spectrum. Someone from 500 years ago might view a person with hearing aids and a smartphone as a full cyborg. facebook. com Are We Just Prototypes? • Yes, transitional: Current humans represent the biological baseline being iteratively enhanced. Future iterations could involve more seamless integrations (e.g., genetic editing neural lace, synthetic biology, or full mind uploading), making today’s “natural” humans seem like the raw prototype stage. tandfonline. com • Spectrum, not binary: Not all humans are equally “cyborg” today—someone with multiple implants differs from someone relying only on external tools. But the trend toward deeper integration (prosthetics that feel like limbs, exoskeletons, augmented reality) suggests we’re evolving the design. betterhumans. pub • Caveats: Some definitions require invasive, permanent integration or sci-fi levels of fusion. Purely external tools might not qualify everyone as a “true” cyborg yet. Ethically and legally, cyborg enhancements raise questions about identity, humanity, and access (who gets augmented?). In short, humans aren’t just prototypes—we’re living, iterating examples of cyborg evolution already in progress. Technology isn’t something separate we’re adding; it’s becoming part of our ontology, as Haraway and others argue. The future will likely make today’s humans look like the beta version.

Bahut khub just like pacemaker 😊

Belated Happy Birthday. I hope the medics discover what caused your collapse. I collapsed years ago in Leicester Cathedral and came round with my head in the Bishop’s lap!! A year of investigations led to me having a pacemaker fitted. Have been fine since then.

First Conquest adds further intrigue to the Queen Anne. Pacemaker? That's what I thought at the confirmation stage. But you don't book Moore to do that job, do you? Decoy for Opera Ballo to get a soft one?

Here's the catch with healthcare: you can't always opt out. You don't pick the pacemaker brand on the operating table. Which is exactly why knowing who you fund — when you DO have a choice — matters more here than anywhere else.

Will the Queen Anne be the first race in which Ryan Moore has ridden a pacemaker at Royal Ascot? Should have given the ride to Godolphin's Toby...

Some are calling it a quadcopter drone: x.com/gazanotice/status/2066… Some are saying sniper. For all we know, it's a pacemaker failure. The entire video shows a guy falling over and security running to him before his drink finishes spilling.
