And the Hello and welcome to serious inquiries only this is episode 441. I'm your host

Thomas Smith. This is part two so make sure you've listened to part one.

Woe Woe W. Alert. If you miss part one on Neurlink with Dr. Genesis Seymour. Go back an episode

catch that part one. In part two we've got more about

implantable technology we've got more about debunking what's going on at

neurolink a little bit some claims that don't hold up. Also situations where other

companies have gone under while doing this kind of thing, the consequences that

has for people who, you know, have this technology inside them. Very unfortunate stuff so we're going to head on over right after this break and this break is of course

something that you do not have to hear if you are a patron on Patreon. So please consider joining.

Get the bonus stuff, lose the ads, do the hangouts once a month.

It's so fun and it supports the show.

It brings us interviews like this in which I learned so much so
