I want the Trigger ending to Cyperpunk Edgerunners where it’s revealed that cyberpsychosis is a corpo plot to keep the workers/humanity down and you can defeat it by going beyond the impossible and kicking reason to the curb.

In Cyberpunk ,implants actively interact with the nervous system. Complicated implants are controlled by the brain and are more “straining” than traditional human limbs.
The more complex an implant is, the more it strains the brain. The whole “go easy on the chrome” thing meant that David/Maine were told to replace their complex implants with less complex ones which didn’t strain the brain.
David went cyberpsycho after he started using an experimental excessively complex exoskeleton which fried his brain.
It’s similiar to the Data Stream thing from Gundam where excessive strain to the nervous system by interacting with a Gundam on higher permet levels kills you.
Thanks for the explanation, but my headcannon is going to keep it as corpo propaganda.
If I remember correctly, he was going psycho long before that. Going for that exo was already a suicide run. But his original implant does make sense to fry the brain as it overclocks the brain.
This represents an ideological position on transhumanism which I find both unrealistic and reactionary.
