The only thing implants really seem to do is make learning skillbooks easier. An intelligence implant doesn't give additional intelligence, it just makes uploading skillbooks into your brain go faster. That's quite an easy way to conceptualize it.

Except the old descriptions were very much talking about granting almost preternatural skills to the implant users. Fast talk, predictive social analysis, superhuman calculation and thinking etc.   I always felt like the implants in the descriptions made our pedestrian conversations in the summit make us look like idiots.  But how do you RP someone quite a bit smarter than you are? Heh.

Stupid people do stupid things.
Smart people outsmart eachother,
then themselves.

All things being relative, we would all still feel and appear equally stupid/smart in eachothers eyes.
Just pretend that in whatever languages we are actually using in New Eden, we sound really smart.

Maybe baseliners are 10 times dumber because New Eden is actually full of stupid ?  :P
