Would You Let a Chip Turn Off Your Anger?

If you could freeze yourself at one age forever, would you rather keep your body young or your mind? This week on Rockin’ on the Porch, Mishi and Giggles pick staying mentally sharp over staying physically cute, talk about the fear of Alzheimer’s and dementia, and how getting closer to 40 means caring less about pleasing everybody and more about protecting your peace.Then things get weird: Mishi imagines a future where a brain chip can instantly erase violent impulses and anger from criminals, turning them into calm, helpful people—but everything “good” about them is programmed. Are they still the same person? Would we treat chipped people like robots? And would society eventually pressure everyone to get chipped just to be “better” humans?Plus: a Florida or Fiction story about a guy trying to pay a speeding ticket with a jar of fireflies as “bioluminescent cash,” growing up as people‑pleasers in Portuguese families, and a dating profile from Dominic whose poem ends with “the police will need dental records to identify you.”Would you ever agree to a brain chip that removed your anger or violent impulses if it guaranteed a safer world?
