The divorce rate for people who sustain life changing injuries is also high. I wonder how much overlap you’re seeing here



Don’t act like you can’t compare a group of married people suffering from the condition that doesn’t get the implant and a group of married people with the condition that do get the implants. Did you honestly think they were drawing the conclusion simply from comparing the rate of divorce of individuals with the condition to groups without the condition? It sounds like you basically just concluded the other side knows nothing about science because they mentioned divorce rate in a negative light, when you were lacking core details of their study


It is believed that a lot of this is due to a shift in identity. Look at the examples of this used in people with epilepsy (medically stable for years, that has not progressed) for example. The divorce rates are similar with other users of regulatory approved BCIs.


A local publication had one of the best first person accounts of TBI and the resulting rehab I’ve ever read and I always think about this whenever the subject comes up.

When I was a teenager, my mother had the court transcript of a bicyclist who had been in an accident without a helmet.

Quite horrifying to read. Absolutely nothing he said made any sort of sense.
