Neuralink and the Vuduri 1

Unless you have been hiding under a rock for the last few years, you have probably heard about Elon Musk. He is the closest thing we have to Tony Stark in real life. He is a billionaire scientist working on extremely advanced concepts. However, his one goal throughout all of his ventures is actually very simple. He is trying to ensure the survival of the human race. So how is he doing this?

Through Musk's SpaceX venture, he is trying to get humans to Mars making us a multi-planetary species. This has the effect of not putting all our genetic eggs in one cosmic basket. If an asteroid were to come and wipe out the Earth and there were people living on Mars, mankind would continue.

Musk's Tesla Motors and SolarCity ventures are designed to eliminate greenhouse gasses by using the greatest single source of energy, the Sun, and harnessing it to run our cars and our homes and eventually our civilization. This will reduce and ultimately eliminate climate change and prevent the looming global warming disaster that every one knows is lying ahead.

I am skipping over Musk's foray into the Hyperloop business because this technology is not designed to save mankind. It is simply designed to make travel and transportation less of a hassle. He has actually started a new company called The Boring Company to create tunnels and demonstrate the feasibility of the Hyperloop concept.

The reason for this article is Musk's latest venture which is one you may not have heard of. It is called Neuralnk. This company is forging ahead, trying to develop technology whereby they can insert a whole brain-machine interface (BMI) and hook your entire brain into the internet. Using electrodes.

Now I know that is something that immediately turns you off. I know I rejected it as silly and something I would never engage in. But if you read Tim Urban's excellent treatise on Neuralink, you will begin to understand how Neuralink may be critical to the survival of mankind. Tim's web site, WaitBuyWhy.com is most excellent and while the articles tend to be somewhat dense, they make for fascinating reading. Tim is an excellent writer and does a thorough job researching all of his topics before he writes about them.

Enough plugs. I want to describe some of the features and flaws with the Neuralink concept and compare it to my 35th century world of the Vuduri which first started in Rome's Revolution and continued in The Ark Lords and Rome's Evolution. Tomorrow, I will do the old "compare and contrast" between the goals and implementation of Neuralink versus what the 24th chromosome imparted to the 35th century Vuduri.
