Release Date: April 15, 2021

Summary: Jesus and Rudy dive into Neuralink, AI, and the

future of human–machine interfaces—with a side of monkey chaos. They debate the

risks of brain chips, digital hive minds, and whether tech like this is

evolution or dystopia.

 Key Talking Points:

• Neuralink and brain-computer interface (BCI)tech

Transhumanism and mind-enhancing tech

Monkey experiments and ethics

Could you upgrade your brain—and should you?

Contextual Deep Dive:

Neuralink, founded by Elon Musk, demonstrated a monkey playing Pong using only

Transhumanism advocates enhancing the human body using science and tech (e.g.,

chips, prosthetics, implants).

BCIs are already used for medical purposes, including restoring movement in

paralyzed patients.

Ethical concerns include data privacy, brain hacking, and corporate control

over cognitive enhancement.

Listener Prompts:

Would you let a chip be implanted in your brain if it meant superhuman focus or memory?

Should there be limits to how far we integrate with machines?

Is humanity ready for this kind of evolution—or are we moving too fast?
