Episode 0034

This week we talk about Elon Musk's Neuralink, the neurotechnology company that is developing implantable brain–machine interfaces (BMIs) in hope of revolutionising the way that we accomplish everyday tasks in the future as well as aiding those that have suffered injuries effecting their freedom of movement. The pros and cons are debated, including learning kung fu and how to fly helicopters in seconds like in the motion picture phenomenon that was The Matrix, to girls having to deal with an excess of nudes should the technology fail.

Somehow in this debate, Bono, U2, The Social Network, Mr Freeze from Batman and Robin, MySpace Tom, Trent Reznor, Mr Potato Head, The Muppets and Dennis Rodman all become relevant to finding the answer. And of course, Jeff Bezos.
