(This is satire, just in case.)
With the chair programmed to give whatever answers the GOP wants him to give
This is disrespectful to Commodore Pike
A much too happy end for him honestly.( If you think about where the guy where this is from ends up in the end )

this might be a better likeness
Yeah what’s with the beep chair slander
I don’t know, Pike was kind of a hero, and then lived out the rest of his life in what was basically the Matrix on Talos IV.
Or maybe a holodeck. The analogy is hard because the episodes were a bit vague except calling it illusion.
Either way, McConnell has been sort of the opposite of Pike.
Even medically, there was never damage to Pike’s brain, McConnell was stroking out years ago.
I’d say it was like the Matrix, since his body was still in the chair. Can’t really holodeck out of that.
