It's a great advance for civilization. Civilization 6, that is. I'm Scott out with Bill Whittle and

Stephen Green, and this episode of Right Angles brought to you by the members at Bill Whittle.com

and gentlemen, perhaps you know what I'm talking about, but this week there was a nine-minute

video clip posted on X, I believe, of one of the people who works at Neurrelink, another Elon Musk company,

interviewing a man who is paralyzed basically from the shoulders down, and he has a Neurrelink

implant, this new product that they're trying to develop, this brain computer interface,

that was allowing him to play chess on a computer. And during the interview, if you watch this clip,

he's talking to the guy, he's having a conversation with the guy from Neurrelink. And his name,

I want to get his name here. It's, let's see, the patient's name is Nolan Arbaugh.

And Nolan is having this conversation about how cool it is to be able to play chess as he's playing chess.

So he's playing chess with somebody. And you see chess pieces moving around, and he describes the ability to move the chess pieces around as using the force he said he

just imagines where he wants the piece to go and it goes there and so oh it's amazing and he's

able to you know carry on this he's listening to this guy who sit next to him occasionally

talking to him and moving chess pieces around on the board in the computer that you can see there, which they're not really even drawing attention to.

He just is kind of casually playing chess, which he obviously can't do if he can't move his

arms at all.

However, he said they've also hooked him up with the video game or video experience, whatever you want to call this,

Civ 6, Civilization 6, and he said he stayed up until like 6 in the morning playing this game

and was able to actively engage in. He said he used to play this.

They have this tool that allows him to move things on a computer with his mouth.

So there's this little like straw that he holds in his mouth and he can move things around.

And he said, but really, he said it was such a big game.
