I nominate this as one of the worst ideas in human history: putting chips in Lawyers Brains to make them "more efficient". A great many of our societal issues today are due to over-lawyering. Which reminds me of the old joke:
Q) What do you call 100 dead lawyers at the bottom of the sea?
A) A good start
Lawyers could have electronic chips implanted in their brain in a revolutionary step that may cut legal costs and reduce the number of solicitors needed to work on complex cases, a report from the Law Society suggests.
Proponents of neurotechnology for lawyers have argued that corporate clients will press for the chips as an efficiency measure, which could result City solicitors, who routinely charge £1,500 an hour, switching to “billable units of attention”.
