I've still only seen parts of this amazing interview but my impression has been that each contributor to this broadcast is of the highest integrity as it pertains to the positive uses of implants to the brain. Especially moving is the story of quadriplegic Noland Arbaugh, the first recipient of Neuralink's implant, who takes us through his life from the momentous day of his accident in 2016 to present day.

I am wandering about Guantanamo Bay situation lately... again!
From my point of view... for me is very suspicious, that so many illegal people will be transported in that place... we remember, what was happening there with so much experimentations done on that people there under US hand...
I see these experimentation will be continued under Donald's boots... and Musk AI... Peter Thiell etc.... BOOTS!

I see in the future... we shall find out more.... if free speech will be still here!
