This week Alex shares his thoughts on the future ahead of us, and just how weird it's going to get. Neuralink is the obvious front runner, allowing us to interface with the brain at a level unheard of before.
Lots of great things for those affected by blindness, deafness, paralysis, memory loss, and stroke complications. But it could be used for a lot of bad too, and we need to start thinking about it ahead of time. The tool called Neurolink is not good or bad, its how its used. This idea of not assigning intent to a tool brings me to the 9-11, and the devastating loss that so many experienced that day in 2001. I share my thoughts as an adult looking back at it since I was experiencing it at as 11 year old. Did the use of a commercial airliner stop me from having an interest in aerospace? Did it prevent me from becoming an Aerospace Engineer?
