A viewer with quadriplegia asked about any innovations in disability technologies that could help. Just so happened, Neuralink recently received FDA approval to begin human trials. Plus many other exciting developments in AI, robotics, and stem cell therapy. And that’s just the first question of today’s Lightning Round Video. Enjoy!

I know this is a controversial topic but can we all take a moment to appreciate Joe’s Lightning Round intro remix?
He kinda looked like Nicholas Cage in that sequence.
Because of him I can no longer share this video with my parents and friends.

I think I just had a seizure 😂
I was thinking the Matrix bad guys
I actually went looking last year to see what's up with CRISPR, turns out there was a bunch of human trials on people (mostly kids) with rare and completely paralyzing genetic disorders or genetic disorders with high mortality rates between 2015-2019. The crazy part was (in small trials of 10-20 participants, mind) a success rate between 60-90%. Some are only partial success, but some were able to stop taking their medications entirely. Toddlers previously doomed to be bedbound for life were learning to crawl, I almost burst into tears reading these studies. Can't find them for the life of me right now. How is that not front page news?
Because it isn’t meant for the masses. It’s meant to be kept away from those of us with poor people insurance, because those insurance plans don’t pay enough for stuff like this. Telling all these people that you can cure them, but only if they come up with $1.9 million dollars each, would (properly) anger just about everyone in the country. They might do something crazy, like demand single-payer healthcare. And so, as far as the news is concerned, Crispr and gene-therapy will take a backseat to billionaires and their submarines…. Maybe in 10 years, maybe in 100 years, I’m not holding my breath.
That was a nice dream you had
Wrong channel. This is the existential dread one.
Because it never happened that's why
i think that may have been a promotional vid of what they hope to achieve though id love it to be truly working as u say, that would be humanity changing.
I love the transition of your beard at the end, that was amazing. I almost didn't catch it happening! I love how you are really finding a great creative outlet here. Your sense of humor and strangeness are so fun and lovely to see. Love you Joe
Thank you
I was wondering why no one else is talking about it.
Joe you slick SOB!!
You know it's going to be a good ad when you point at the horizontal line thing (that I think used to have a name but doesn't anymore) and see that it's the most-watched part of the video.

Regarding the spinal injuries - there was a recent breakthrough where someone was able to walk again thanks to a computer chip implanted in his body. That seems incredibly helpful to me.
@@wayneallen8469 It seems like you are being disingenuous.
@@wayneallen8469 innovation does help people…including those with disabilities. What is so difficult to accept there? Cochlear implants didn’t always exist, exoskeletons now help people walk, this seems it should be such an easy concept for anyone to grasp.
@@vincentyoung8472 luddites are gonna keep on being luddites
I gotta finally point out, just how incredible of an actor Joe really is. Some intros just leave me staring at it and I wonder where he picked up these skills.
My guess? He had a lot of early practice trying to look more mature than his years in front of his older sister's friends.
It’s almost as if he’s had years of experience in front of the camera in his self-produced UA-cam videos
Because before youtube he made a really crappy movie and learn how not to act...lol
@@garysloan9793 no way man, how the heck are you people so smart? 😐😐😐💀💀💀
of course not, he's speaking from experience! I think it's brilliant. The problem is when her friends decide to go "cougar", and you get scarred for being kinda sexually abused, but everyone dismisses it because you're a boy and supposed to be thrilled by this development. Which I assure you was totally from reading Wikipedia from an armchair! 😒🤷♂️😋
Neuralink has major dystopian potential. Even if they won't have predatory practices (which is best case scenario, very realistic that it would be predatory), it's a major cybersecurity threat. Nothing is “unhackable”, there is only hard to hack and slow to hack, and someone smart enough could hack it eventually (no need to explain the danger of that).
*Edit*
I might not have explained it well enough, but I'm not saying that we all will get hacked and killed. All I am saying is that it is possible, without some tech we don't have that uses something like sound waves to resonate with brains or something else new. And the amount of encryption and security that could be used directly on it, is low. This is because the more advanced it is, it needs more compute. More compute means more electricity, more size, more cost, more complications. Stuff that, on the level of it being hard enough to hack that hackers will be very discouraged to hack it, will need a large, expensive and hot SoC. Don't forget that the pay-off if it is hacked is very high as it is potentially life-threatening, so even if they put state-of-the-art protection, some hacker could and would hack, and many will try (if this type of tech spreads to begin with). TL;DR, it's not immune to hacks.
(i seem to be either controversial or popular or both, which is good in my eyes as it will mean more people thinking about this more thoroughly.)
Yea, just like AI and self driving cars, if in the right hands it’s great. But it will eventually fall into the wrong hands
@@ErikVRed ....what? it's already in the wrong hands, it's literally never _not_ been in the wrong hands😂
It can be made unhackable enough. But humans won't put this in their head if it's not connected to the internet in some way, so it's going to be pretty easily hacked. With hard barriers you have to at least get very creative.
Aye. Shadowrun was not meant to be a documentary, in the same sense as 1984 wasn't. I'll keep my skin as a firewall.
Now I’m imagining people jailbreakinv their implants XD
I think this is the first time any of my regular subscriptions has ever got me to watch the sponsor message all the way through. Subtle and clever.
When I was barely a teen, during a college sibling weekend, my sister took me to see Monty Python and the Holy Grail at a midnight showing... it was the first (and only) time I ever laughed out loud during a movie. We went to see it again the following night. Such a good time.
I want to be one of those nerds that genuinely thanks you for talking about razors. I'd been unhappy shaving with cartridges my entire adult life, but the idea of switching to old-fashioned safety razors kinda scared me because i'd been told the old style ones could be annoying or dangerous. Between you and Practical Engineering both talking about how lifechanging Henson was though, I decided to give them a shot - and I'll be damned if that razor isn't the best thing I've ever used. The learning curve was practically nonexistent and now I've got probably a year and a half worth of blades in my cabinet and I'm getting the best shaves of my life. I swear you'd think I was reading from ad copy here but I'm not - these razors are just that damn good.
I'll pass that along! :)
Completely agree. Best purchase I've made in a long time.
I’m in the exact same position. I have sensitive skin and I kept getting red marks on my face bc I wasn’t replacing my cartridge’s often enough. But the thing is, cartridge razors are just way too expensive to exchange as frequently as I would’ve needed to.
I was pretty worried at first about getting a single blade razor rather than the multi-bladed cartridge, but seeing Joe’s description of how chatter works, I figured that seemed more scientific than the cartridge commercials I’d seen (and they have a 30 day back guarantee lol). So I just went for it. Best decision of my life!! Literally, like Joe Scott said in the video, it’s a shift to your entire frame of reference. You do NOT need to spend a lot to have clean shaven sensitive skin. Awesome!!
I'm old. My dad was in the US Calvary, yes rode a horse carried a Saber. He used a safety razor. Truth is stranger than fiction. Thank you very much.
I was like….this is a bot from the company….but nah, you joined 14 years ago! Now I’m considering buying the razor. Lmao.
Joe, your story about Monty Python and the Holy Grail hit a chord with me. I was in London when the movie was first released to theaters. I had a bad case of bronchitis, but went anyway. Whenever I laughed, my lungs would really hurt, but I couldn't help it. I swear, I left the theater with my lungs clear. I laughed myself well.
😂😂😂 That is awesome! They always said that laughter is the best medicine!
And everyone else sick 😂
And when you typed “chord”, I was thinking some music kinda pun. Sadly, no.
I love this story Ty for sharing
Patton, did you feel like all of bronchitis "left" your body? Perhaps it was just the symptom of the unclear lungs.
3:59 There have also been a string of updated variations on the old-school way of using CRISPR/Cas9 for either knockouts or homology-directed repair. Tons of different Cas proteins have been discovered or modified. New strategies such as prime editing, homology-independent targeted insertion, base editing (as you mention), and so on have been developed. There have also been lots of advances in delivery of the CRISPR/Cas system to cells - which is especially critical for therapeutic applications. This also draws on the lipid nanoparticle technology that allowed mRNA vaccines to work, but other avenues are being explored as well.
TL;DR lots of stuff going on. Not much has reached patients yet, but it's coming.
I've been using the same Lady Schick handle since I was 20, and I'm now nearly 67. It's getting harder to find the Trac II blades for it. However, now I'm retired and I just let the fuzz grow, and trim it back every few days with a beard trimmer.
I started growing a mustache at 18, and have kept it ever since. EXCEPT FOR ONE DAY back in the mid 80s. I decided to shave it off just to see how I looked without it. My 6-year-old daughter took one look and said, "Grow it back. Pronto." Yikes! And who taught her the word "pronto"?
6:23 How do you boil a frog? Don't throw it into boiling water, it'll jump out. Put it in cold water and slowly heat it up, the frog will stay in the water untill it's too late.
We're frogs.
I have a "type" of muscular dystrophy and have been bedridden for a few years now, Neuralink or some other Brain Computer Interface is going to become very important to me. As someone who has been gaming since my dad bought an Atari 7800 (dating myself a bit there) being able to continue to game and interact with online friends when my condition progresses further than I am at as of now will be huge for my mental health.
Well, dying due to sloppy surgical implantation is one way to improve your health
@rismith1491 Yes, it is, but if they've got the pigs to quit dying now, maybe it's time for human tests. After I realized Musk is a Fascist, or has Fascist leanings, I've cooled on him as a benevolent person. But if he could get Neuralink working, it'd be a game changer for a lot of people. Maybe even for humans as a whole. I agree with him that AI could be a huge problem for humans if it turns against us. As far as we know, for sure, the most intelligent species rules the planet. And anything that species considers a threat is in trouble. AI and self-replicating robots could be a very bad thing.
Wow! Did you actually post that? Are you a professional dog-kicker or something like that? You have resigned cynicism for me. Guess what? All you loved ones, family, friends and most of all, your children, are going to die, and likely after horrible suffering. You can use that for your mantra. 😁
Joe, nothing specific about this video made me think this, but I've been following you for years, and I'm convinced we'd be friends if our paths crossed. I appreciate you. Keep doing you.
I actually find some comfort in the fact that I share a general sense of humor with one of the smartest, generalist UA-camrs on the platform.
This lightning round video jingle is everything the internet is about.
quick note: titan does not have the same pressure as we do, it's 60% higher. Fun thing with this though: The gravity is lower and the atmosphere is thicker - this means it might just be possible to strap on some wings and fly with your own muscle power
*but what happens when you have a sudden muscle cramp whilst in flight high above the ground?...i'd rather not go splat when gravity decides i have no business flying around the skies of Titan*
Titan experienced much higher pressures.
I like the idea of Cities In The Sky on Venus. Just don't fall off! (Venus is like 700 degrees and high pressure at the surface, but a certain distance up into the atmosphere, and it's extremely similar to Earth. It's the same principle as Earth's atmosphere - cooler and lower pressure at high altitudes).
Because Titan's atmosphere is mostly nitrogen (about 95 percent) and methane (about 5 percent), with small amounts of other carbon-rich compounds, you'll need to wear oxygen tanks. Since it is so cold, you'll also need to wear an environmental suit. With the extra weight of those items, it is not clear whether or not you would be able to fly under your own power even though the gravity is only 1/7th that of earth's gravity.
If you were in a large building that is temperature controlled and contains a sufficient proportion of oxygen in the interior atmosphere at the same pressure as the exterior atmosphere, then you would have a better chance of flying under your own power.
@@scottmantooth8785 I mean, that is a great point in all, but your wings don't just vanish cuz you got tired of flapping them to go higher. If you can _actually_ fly under your own power on titan just by flapping, I'm sure you can glide down too, when you get tired.
In regards to the first topic I am blind in my left eye due to optic nerve damage after an assault. There is encouraging early research into regenerating the optic nerve which hopefully means I and many others will one day get our sight back.
A good friend of mine is now legally blind after his optic nerves degenerated & started transmitting useless noise to his brain. He had to give up his jewellery making business he loved because of his condition. Research like that may well help him.
Where can I read about it? Early progressive vision loss here from deteriorating optic nerve.
Just caught up on lightning, hard couple of weeks, thank you Joe ❤❤ people like you give us faith 🙏, luv ya man.
Neuralink scares the hell out of me, perhaps because I grew up watching Dr Who and the Cybermen. The machine that implants Neuralink looks exactly like a Cybermat. Serious chills down the spine.
Did anyone watch Severance? Neuralink is not a good idea
even if u dont want it, what of people like stephen hawking?
fact is that some people are so disabled
that mere communication presents a challenge
there is no reason u have to have it
u cannot control a person with it
so it presents no danger
whilst also having the potential to profoundly enable others
also important to note imo
elon is afraid of the AI overlord
which is why even his brain links
can be *manually* disconnected from networks
specificslly, the whole brains of the circuit is on the outside of ur body
and iirc its suppose to be modular
meaning u can remove the whole unit
people gotta stop catastrophising 🤔
I’m more concerned about a couple of years down the track when the implant reaches its end of life and you end up with broken prongs left lodged in your grey matter.
As a chronic pain patient and having blind family member, neuralink is incredibly exciting to me. I look forward to my sister having 20/10 or better vision, and to my constant pain being erased.
Submit then. Anything that has the ability to control your body through your brain has the ability to control your brain. You don't even have one and you're excited. This should tell you something about emotional responses vs. rational ones.
Except it's not going to be left at legitimate helping of people in need. It's going to be misused and abused and result in horrors that I cannot even fathom right now.
What kind of pain ? Have you tried rhizotomy?
@@mattmarzulaand your response has no emotional investment?
@@Yesica1993 Thats capitalism's fault. the tech itself can help with everything from mental or motoric disabilities (fixing issues of the nerves inside the brain) Its good stuff, blame companies, dont blame tech. thats just a knee jerk response.
I appreciated the comedic relief in the sponsor spot. Here I was skipping it (because I already have a Henson razor) when I noticed something had changed. Keep being you Joe!
Nice intro, bro!🙂
As for neurolink, I think real promise for the physically disabled lies with the notion of using it to control an exoskeleton that allows them to get around in a way that approaches normal.
Of course, it wouldn't allow the paralyzed to actually feel anything (at least, I don't think so), but it would be nice for them to be able to have an exoskeleton stand them up and move them around.
It would probably improve their health, as well.
William Gibson actually wrote a story about that very thing in the collection, "Burning Chrome."
The story is, "The Winter Market."
@@hidden9549There's already been good progress with that. The fake sensors used now are very limited but could probably help those who've only lost feeling and not actual motor control. Sensory information is carried on the outside of the spine while motor control is on the inside, many people could actually learn to walk again without feeling and some actually have.
I had a brain bleed in the visual senter in the brain so my eyes are not in sync. I'm first in line when neuralink rolls out to fix this
I'm old enough to have started shaving with one of the metal "safety razor" things from Olden Tymes. I switched to cartridges in college, when my "welcome kit" included a double-bladed unit which was lighter, easier to use, and gave a better shave. I switched to the Henson razor a few months ago, and it's solid feel and light aluminum leave me very satisfied ... and I'm not wasting any more plastic! Thanks, Joe Scott!
My first Monty Python movie was The Meaning of Life when I was a young lass of 16 in 1985. I also thought I was going to die, I was laughing so hard! Especially during the scene with Mr. Creosote. As someone who was also bullied, I totally get where that sense of humor comes from - it's a good way of disarming people and protecting yourself. Really enjoy your channel and I learn so much from it. Thanks for the great content!
life of brian did it for me, i think i literally fell off the movie seat laughing
Bring me a bucket! LOL such a great film. It was Holy Grail for me, but I love them all.
Yup - Holy Grail, 10 years old, never laughed so hard before or since. And Cosby was hilarious. I had all of his tapes.
I know I am late on this one, but I needed to drop a comment directly to you Joe. Your intro gave me the first honest laugh I have had in a couple days. Thank you sir. Keep up the amazing work.
I almost had a f---- seizure
Hey Joe. I just wanna say how much I love your realness and your humour. I always feel like I’m chatting with a friend when I listen to you.
lol this is a sweet comment. Hope you're having a super awesome day Laura 🤗

When he closes his episodes and says “love you guys…”, I actually feel it.
FInally I know what that feels like.
Are all friends as nice as Joe?
That's incredibly nice, thank you.
@@joescottyeah you’re a cool dude joe, i always watch ur videos and because I watched them with no headphones my sister overhears them and always laughs at your jokes when you make them, big up Mr Joe
I really related to your story. I too was the smallest kid in my class all through elementary and high school. It was tough and I joked around and was goofy to get positive attention instead of bullying. Thanks for sharing.
So you would have bullied if you were able to?😮 🤔 lol 😂
You wouldn’t believe it - but as an extremely athletic and ripped 6’4” male, other athletic males who obviously have varying sorts of inferiority complexes - but they’re almost always quite muscular and overly brash - and they’ll bully me with lowkey trash talk to try to goad me into competitions like pickup basketball so they can try to beat me - and if I decline they talk shit
🤣 It’s so silly and juvenile 😅 and most of the time they don’t even realize that they’re coming across as fools 🤣
Just thought I’d put that out there so you know everyone gets bullied as a young male - it’s just how humans are wired!
And your bullying stopped in school.. the type of bullying I am talking about has continued at least into my late 20’s - while they’re 18-22 😅
Knowing psychology I get that they may see me as more attractive or athletic, that combined with the possibility that they see me garner respect from those around me and because in terms of nature I am mating competition. That drives them to become driven to prove themselves a more desirable male than I am. What’s even more telling is how they almost always only act this way if a woman they are attracted to is in eye shot, or if their group of close friends are with them.
They probably teased you to feel powerful, because they felt powerless over another key aspect or recent event of their life. While with me they try to goad me into competition so they can prove their better potential mates than me 🤣 🤣 🤣 😅
Human beings are WEIRD af
I developed early, was the tallest and probably strongest child in my classroom. But I was a gentle inoffensive nerd. A really skinny and violent guy bullied me for years. Not trying to diminish what you went through, you probably had it worse than me and I am sorry it happened to you. I just want to point out that bullying is psychological, the physical can play a (big) part, but it’s not essential.
@robvollat So you took this comment as your chance to not even subtly, but full blown be an extremely *cringe, super narcissistic airhead,* who obviously is making up scenarios in your head, or EXTREMELY exaggerated events that you obviously misinterpreted.
LMFAO, like this is such a cringe and embarrassing attempt to try and "be humble", yet you instead narcissistically bragged, to inflate your ego to random people on a UA-cam comment section.
Embarrassingly cringe, and pretty airheaded in the lack of self awareness there my guy!😂🙃
🤷
@@enriquegarciacota3914 I appreciate your understanding. I agree my small stature isn't the only thing that creates the jealousy and fear that causes bullies to bully. It was just my experience and Joe's. When we teach our children to embrase and celebrate each others diffences we'll be more accepting and less critical of each other.
I appreciated that he put himself out in public to discuss his own experiences.
Having been born in the 70s I spent my teen years both enjoying the 80s but also living in a time where our differences weren't appreciated but identified and mocked if they didn't align with the group.
I am encouraged to see that we are slowly progressing and I am happy to know that my boys will become men in a more accepting world.
@KC Christensen & Joe Scott. There IS a successful trial so far that has a wireless signal sensor ABOVE a Spinal break, and a wireless signal receiver BELOW that spinal break, where the brain sends signals to the 'Sender unit' it then sends signals to the 'Receiver unit' that then is 'Wired' into nerve endings to the associated muscles, call it a 'Bridge' so to speak. So when the user thinks about walking, all the signals are sent via the tech, to their legs, and they can move them again. It HAS allowed someone who suffered a spinal chord injury who COULDN'T walk, take his first tentative steps again! Now THERE'S hopes!!!
I saw a video recently on UA-cam, so it's out there to find out more, I just can't for the life of me remember the Maker or Tech name for it.
😎🇬🇧
My favorite factoid about Olympus Mons:
Despite the fact that it's such an incredibly tall mountain, if you were standing at the very bottom of it, you would not be able to see the peak. The slopes are so shallow, the planet curves away from you faster than the mountain slopes rise.
How much mass of martian rock even is that?!
I love Joe's videos and basically everything about them including how creative and funny Joe is, but sometimes I can't help but think, "man, he is so weird." This video's opening had me today.
Weird is good, though and Joe is good weird 😌
Ikr?! Lol. He is a fun weirdo. My kind of folks
I need to get weird and have fun sometimes. Hopefully some of you come along with me.
@@joescott dude wouldn't it be so weird if there was actually a normal person out there somewhere
@@joescott I 100% love it every time and they never fail to make me smile so please keep up the good work.
Intro was awesome...but I rewatched the Henson razor ad when I realized what was happening. You made an ad hilarious. I think they owe you stock now! 🤣😂🤘🏼
Is that just something people say? They're not publicly traded. You have to typically have an IPO to exchange stocks.
I think you pretty much nailed it on the climate change question. Most of the effects are so large-scale and slow-moving to our perspective that we fail to see these giant walls closing in all around us.
Meh, it's a scam. Not a single prediction has come to fruition. In the seventies they said we were heading into an ice-age, in the eighties it was global warming, in the nineties the "scientists" fear-mongered that by 2020 the ice caps would be gone. Wrong, wrong, and wrong again. One of the seven pillars of science is the ability to make accurate predictions. If you can't do that it is not science. Climate "science" is precisely NOT a science.
I don’t see these “walls”. I see innovation and lack of catastrophe because of innovation.
By the time there is a clarifying moment, it will be to late and our only choice will be to accept or reject tens or hundreds of millions of refugees, or force them to suffer the consequences of our actions. Tbh that's why MAGAts want a wall on the southern border, because they billionaires in charge know what's coming.
Joe, absolutely love your style of weird dude, thank you for all the amazing content and entertainment 😊
It's become exceedingly difficult to be happy about this sort of thing. Too often the potential for extreme dystopia dampens the exciting aspect of it all. I really just wish we weren't always on the verge of the world ending.
Wish granted, the world is nowhere near ending. It has billions of years left. What you are scared of is change, you wish the world wasn't changing, but it has been changing since the first single cell organism arose. Species have come and gone, we've had a multitude of extinction events, climate change will be terrible for some animals and great for others, just like every single time it changed in the past.
If life could survive the meteor that killed off the dinosaurs and the following global ice age that followed, it will survive a bit of carbon in the atmosphere.
Society has also been upended many times in the past.
There is no world end coming.
But propagating fear is so profitable. Plus humans are drawn to simulation, especially the negative type. Being up to date on what to fear is important for survival. Anyway one of the best things I've ever done is disconnect free to air tv and never watch the news.
@@Kelthor85Absolutely! Well said.
I feel like we often overlook that life for humans has historically never been better. imagine living 50, 100, 200,. 500 years ago.... all terrible times to live in compared to the conveniences we have today.
As to if the world is ending...
We wont destroy the world. We may make it uninhabitable for ourselves, but the world will march on and life will march on in its own way. Human intelligence may not necessarily be a beneficial trait, the verdict isn't in yet on that.
@@Kelthor85 I've been trying to tell my mom that everything I ever see her watch on TV is so negative, and even the positive shows are filled with terrible ads, the entire TV ecosystem is off-base with modern needs.
First time I've ever rewound a video to watch the "sponsored by" section multiple times. You did an amazing job there! First time through I didn't even notice until I got near the end. 2nd and 3rd time through you had me laughing every time your face changed.
If there exists such a thing, this was a very sophisticated Lightning Round video.
I sat through and watched the sponsor spot TWICE because I didn't notice the gag you were doing with your beard until near the end of the first time through.. Bravo and it was freaking hilarious.. As a bonus, after the first shave, you had the Adam Savage beard style going with the long sideburns :D
You are the only UA-camr I follow that I've actually purchased the sponsered products for, and I've done it a couple of times now. Not that I'm for or against sponsers, but the products you promote are actually useful to me.
Having suffered with lifelong dyslexia caused memory problems, I am very excited about the idea of neurolink being able to greatly enhance my memory. I always wanted to be a medical doctor, but by far the biggest requirement for that is an incredibly good memory; I have a high IQ but my poor memory, caused by by dyslexia, closed a lot of doors for me and other dyslexics.
This is a pain i know all too well, i wanted to go into astrophysics or chemistry but the memory problems always got in the way. i didnt even know this existed untill 3 years ago, Dyslexia simply meant you cant read or write well when i was growing up and bad memory was simply not paying attention. Ive often commented to friends that i wish i could install some extra memory modules into my brain lol.
Those henson razors are great. Thanks for that Joe.
My only complaint is that the shaving cream builds up a film on the razor housing and I can't find anything that dissolves it... Doesn't affect the performance at all, I just want it shiny😅
I'm with you on SNL Joe. I've watched Saturday Night Live every week since day 1 IN 1975 and I remember ALL the different cast members, the ups and downs, and still look forward to Saturday night.
Nope. Dollar store Lex Luthor isn't getting into my brain.
Good. The worry is that this will end up being a gattaca level class divide.
You can’t afford it anyway old man thinker.
You can’t afford it anyway old man thinker.
😂 I get the hesitation but bio tech is nothing new, pace makers, hearing aids, advanced prosthetics etc are pretty commonplace so brain tech is just the evolution of that. Besides this generation of Neurolink is really only intended for those that need them for medical reasons
@@joe_limonthe more immediate worry is someone deciding they've had enough of me and pushing a button that puts me into a comatose state while they run algorithms to condition my subconscious until my thoughts aren't my own. You know, sort of like all the pavlovian responses people have to videos on the internet when the bell goes ding.
I think you are pretty accurate on the climate change - the scale of it both time it takes and area it affects is just so damn huge that is hard to comprehand. Also it requires changes in overall lifestyle, compared with the timescale makes the issue very big (how can I change that?) and abstract (subtle changes over decades).
It’s also loaded with scams and bullshit.
@@WinstonSmithGPTBINGO exactly yup 💯
It's a LIE so the elites in power and control over everything on this green earth can so called CARBON T-@-X HUMANITY to oblivion 😖🙄😳
I see two big issues. It’s been HIGHLY politicized (there is big money in both proving a crisis and disproving a crisis) and, as said, it’s nebulous.
The arctic ice was thinning and now it is back up in thickness.
Global instrument temps are often directly compared to historical temps which isn’t ideal.
For decades people were warned about global cooling, then decades of global warming became the issue.
The environment is such an incredibly complex system it’s really hard to pick apart trends from our tiny window of existence on the planet. Is it us or just a cycle?
There is enough uncertainty that it is a hard sell for people.
Personally, I don’t really care what the truth of the matter is because I try to be cleaner and more efficient in resource use because why would I not? If I can lessen the amount of pollution I generate why would I not? To me it makes no sense to do otherwise.
Not really. The solution is in the hands of the rich but their goal is money and power. Your lifestyle does not matter.
Contrary to what many people think, climate change is not some extinction level event, it's only harming the poor, the rich will manage.
Capitalism is the cause of climate change and it is the reason why we're not solving the problem.
1) Love the funky intro - made me lol
2) nice trick having your beard & mustache disappear as you talked about the razor. I didn't notice right away & had to rewind
Great incremental shaving transition during the Henson shaving clip. Well done!
Those razors are amazing. First time I ever tried a safety blade and I've never had a closer shave, no razor burn, no cuts, just clean and smooth. And I still have like 90 blades left from the promo. And it's been a few months.
Agree. These razors are absolute game changers. I feel like in old shaver ads using them.
@@Gyula-kx9jc I remember my dad and grandfather having and using safety razorz, even cutting my fingers on one as a kid in the 80s, but when I was old enough to start shaving it was all Gillette double and triple blade cartridges, and no lie, I didn't shave for a few months at a time because they were so expensive, and the cheapest Bic disposables cut me to hell and back.
I'm stil skeptical since I would use them to shave my head, not my face. I don't want to start a bloody mess in my bathroom
@@TheBl4cKH4wK yeah, I wouldn't man, stick with actual head shavers, totally different when you can and can't see what you're shaving. Lol
nothing could ever go wrong with this idea and it will never get hacked.
and I can eat ice cream for breakfast and not get fat

@@that1guy335wooooooosh.
Yeah for real. That being said, not taking the risk because it is a risk is a good way to stagnate as a species. I'm excited to see which problems tech like this solves, even if as an abled bodied person it doesn't quite effect me yet.
Ok. first of all job well done on making me watch the henson shaving portions multiple times just to see the edits. 15:53 was my favorite look for you. But overall- great job on this video.
That was a wonderful intro. Thank you so much. :)
That's the kind of stuff I'll annoy my friends with, but with WAY more effort than I usually put into it. :D
I really appreciate you staying objective on all topics. One reason why I love your videos.
Neurallink has a long way to go. Especially with terrible signal to noise ratio from the device they use. It doesn’t matter how great software we have now, such as LLM, hardware is not following fast enough.
I completely missed the treatment or purpose for which Neuralink is used, and now LLm.
@@genghis_connie Neuralink can read your brainwaves and send them wirelessly to whatever limb(s) you can't use due to spinal cord injuries for example. With Neuralink a quadriplegic can walk again.
I think they were able to produce light into the eyes of a blind animal as well, early stages of possibly curing blindness. Don't quote me on that though.
@@FINtr0ll99 thank you. My memory is terrible!
Appreciate the reply.
As the Oracle of God the first human avatar to be tested with neurolink I can honestly say it was flawless design and Elon will only allow certain people to access neurolink not everyone will be offered this device. Neurolink was created to communicate with other planets just with thought. Atlantean technology. To much room for abuse of technology. You can literally communicate with anyone in your queue list anywhere in the universe without a cell phone or computer. It's not the mark either. You can have neurolink turned off if you so choose. You can see nerve patterns in your brain and ask your brain to take an alternate route and heal the nerve paths. Elon is my brother and being the Oracle of God he knew I would be completely honest with feedback. At first you slow down the next day it's activated and you see so much it's a little overwhelming but this operation paperclip experiment needed a human vessel to find the clones as in star wars clone wars to shut them down. It's part of Space Force division. You don't have to believe me that's fine just stating my experience with neurolink helps you locate glitches to reroute everything back to the original blueprint God designed. Cell phones are more than enough for most. Only those on the reward list will be offered the punish list in this earth school experiment will not have the privilege of sacred technology.
When coastal cities get flooded yearly, winter disappears and it becomes deadly to go outside during summer. That's when we'll get into gear. Unfortunately it is quite likely it's already too late right now.
That Henson Shaving segment must have taken a while - I counted 5 different 'states' - fully bearded being #1 and "Nekkid Faced" being 5. My hat is off to you for keeping a straight face for states 2, 3 and 4. You didn't smirk until 5! 👍
I'm with you, Joe. Monty Python and the Holy Grail was an absolute side-splitter. I've watched it so many times, I can literally quote the entire movie, including the song lyrics, from opening credits to the end credit (remember "wik," "also wik," "also also wik" and "Sir, not appearing in this film?). Great stuff.
*i actively look for reasons to quote from the film while at work...also the Princess Bride has many lines that are deeply ingrained within my synapse*
Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries... now go away, or I shall taunt you a secont tyyyme.
My favorite thing in our solar system is Joe’s ever changing facial hair in this video.
I like the Earth. It's where I keep all my stuff!
I loved the henson shaving sponsor. Or I should say your ad for Henson shaving was amazing. I didn't catch it at first, I had to rewind it. You even had to Fu Manchu mustache at one point. Amazing! I'm going to go buy it and use your link. Thank you for the content and the education.
Second time watching this video and that intro cracked me up both times! Great video, awesome job. Always look forward to Mondays!
Joe, you are easily one of the best UA-camr's on the platform. Thank you for everything you do. You genuinely seem like someone I would really enjoy hanging out with and it makes me feel like I'm just kicking it with one of the boys and talking about fun science-y stuff. Keep up the good work!
Also, love the new setup.
The only way I'm letting a neural implant anywhere near my brain if A) It's been tested by cybersecurity experts and B) it's as open source as possible.
I happen to be a case study in stem cell research. I lacerated my spinel cord when I broke my back. I couldn't move from the hips down. After my spin was repaired I was transferred to Stamford hospital where i got daily stem cells injections. When the injections started getting painful the doctors were really encouraged. I still have to drive down to Stamford once a year for an appointment and feed back and it has been 19 years. I'm thankful for being able to walk. BTW...Olympus Mons actually caused Mars to be lopsided.
Started using Henson a week ago and it is the best shave I have ever had. No irritation.
The Mitchell and Webb Look mention is proof of your excellent character, Joe. If you haven't already heard, there is an 5 season audio series they did for BBC radio called, 'That Mitchell and Webb Sound" which might interest you.
I had to pause and comment on how much I just love the intro! I got some Bill Nye the science guy vibes from the frame jump head movements. Totally reusable footage for future lightening round videos🎶‼️👍
Someone made a great point in a video I watched recently about making human shaped robots. They said "why wouldn't we design them like humans? The modern world has already been designed for the human form, so if we want robot helpers, making them human shaped requires the fewest adjustments."
I prefer the term humanoid over human-shaped, a human-shaped robot might share our shape but then have eyes at its nipples and a mouth at its groin. That would seriously put me off my Wheaties.
My favorite solar system thing is Enceladus, possible ocean with life and all, but I could easily go with Titan too.
On the humor topic, Monty Python's dry British humor always made me laugh the hardest too. Sadly as a kid, I was small as well, and an oddball nerd when it wasn't cool, but never found my "voice" to make the bullies laugh, glad you did though, love your videos.
On the climate, I think we're just all "boiling frogs", and too many won't notice or believe till it's too late, no matter what they hear or see.
Thank you for your insight on reactions to immediate vs future threats. It helped me realize that's why I always run into issues trying to get people to take care of problems which aren't immediate. But I think it's not about evolution, but rather stress. If you can put off solving a problem to deal with something that's clear and present, you'll prioritize the present instead. Plus people feel more rewarded if they solve a current problem rather than a future one.
Same reason why governments suck. They don't think about the future when they exploit everything for their own pockets or to gain power, their decisions are only relevant to them for 4 to 8 years, yet they can change the direction of a country for centuries. One example is past actions creating divisions now between races, nothing to do with us.
OMG x 2, I just realized you had shaved various styles while doing the promo bit. I too bought the razor and used your promo code.... and for that, I thank you. Great razor.
6.02 “Immediate threats”.
If we assume that all problems must be addressed, we constantly progress in finding new solutions, and problem-solving capacities increase over time, it logically follows that prioritizing immediate problems ensures the most efficient possible state. By addressing immediate problems, we capitalize on the momentum of problem-solving capacities and the potential for continuous progress.
There is a point where further development would hinder improvement, and there is a threshold beyond which allocating resources to address new problems becomes less efficient.
Always get excited for ne videos from you.I'm going through a rough patch and its nice to have something new on my dashboard. I've watched every one of your videos, most of them twice, over the past couple years but idk if I've ever commented. Keep the great content coming!

@@andymurray5045 thanks
First of all, thanks for the kind words. Feel free to comment more. :)
Second, I hope your rough patch is short-lived and ultimately a growth opportunity.
@@joescott thank you, I'm sure I'll be good. Life happens sometimes lol
I liked your examination of why we haven't moved more quickly on climate change. I'm very curious to see what happens with that group of young people suing the the Montana government for their inaction over the issue. Other than that, I think that a serious agricultural collapse might get attention because it's so easy to see the outcome of that.
Sadly, I don't think things are going to change until the rich are _genuinely_ afraid that we are going to come burn their house down and then slow roast them for dinner. Maybe with a nice blueberry port reduction on top or something (if we're going to eat the rich, we should at least do it fancily. It's what they would have wanted!).
Yes, agricultural and major fish stock collapse, preferably at same time. However, we need the shortages to go right to the top before the politicians and their fossil fuel friends really start to listen and do something. Once their preferred, high class foods become affected, we'll see some action...at last.
I don't like how he examined the climate change issue, you can't do that without talking politics, politics should not be a taboo and be exempt from logic and science.
Contrary to what many people think, climate change is not some extinction level event, it's only harming the poor, the rich will manage.
Capitalism is the cause of climate change and it is the reason why we're not solving the problem.
@@duncan.o-vic I'm very much anticapitalism, but during my studies on energy transition I've learned it unfortunately it isn't the only reason. We have been destroying the environment for over 15 000 years. I'm not saying the system of monetary profit from environmental destruction shouldn't be ended, but we will destroy for any type of profit. It will require much more; An entirely new way of thinking about energy and the economy.
@@TitaniusAnglesmith Well, we don't have to invent anything, socialism means you do what's needed for the benefit of society instead of what brings profit to the few.
The issue is not changing the environment (or destroying from the perspective of conservationism), we are always going to impact environment, the point is to do it sustainably.
That intro lightning round song was fire. We need a short of that ASAP.
I love the thought of a planetary pimple! 😂
I thought human trials were supposed to happen after you have successfully done it on several animals without them dying of trauma and infection later on.
Nah, why wait? Elon is confident it's going to work.
That was completed awhile back. Successfully. There are videos.
@@daveken9936Thank you for saying it for me.
@@azmodanpcthe tests were done..successful. please don't spread misinformation.
@@daveken9936 regardless, Elon is a hack, so nobody should be giving him money anyway.
One significant reason that we are not reacting quickly is the machine created by the oil lobby in the ‘80s and still the n operation today. It’s express purpose is to sow doubt, to erode consensus. It has been wildly successful, as described by some of the original participants. Sorry, but I cannot give a link to the video.
Love this channel for a while and actually helped me through an horrible period a couple of years ago!
The climate is obvs a big thing for you (and most that watch your channel), I really want to know if you have read bjorn lomborg’s latest book?
He makes a very striking case about the manner in which we are trying to correct the climate is in a very wasteful way!
Granted, my main criticism of his work is that he very much focuses on GDP of a country and how climate will effect it. I get his argument (one of them being that the richer we make a population, eventually the more they care and implement measures to improve the environment) however, at what cost?
He also says that in places like China recently they need to keep up with increased energy demand and so make more coal fire power stations.
Now this means they will be getting richer over time BUT their health will deteriorate in this same time due to the extra pollution.
My main issue with neurolink, it isn't sorted out and Elon specifically is pushing for testing solely for a "win"
Pushing testing “solely” for a win. What does that mean and how do you come to this conclusion?
So it’s basically the same as the covid vaccines then?
@@vincentyoung8472 Burden of proof isn't on OP. It's quite easy to demonstrate that Musk's MO is rushing over-promised products to make headlines and boost stock prices. It's either that (FSD and robo taxi private ownership, Vegas' very own hyperloop, Pepsi's very own Tesla Semi), or it's just not delivering anything at all (literally everything except rockets and EVs). Let's see how the Boring Company's $1 Trillion market cap goes.
I wonder if a typewriter (similar to the one in Joes's background) could be used as a PC keyboard?
It can with the right electronics.
I imagine it could. Replace the point where the little arm under each key hits the ribbon with an electrical contact and have all of those inputs go through a microcontroller or Arduino or something. I think it would be very loud and slow compared to a mechanical keyboard, though. Would make a cool steampunk-themed project.
It can, there are some tutorials teaching how.
you totally can! It's really cool.
On the flippity-flop, It's NOT really cool to bring it to a coffee shop and try to be super cool & qUiRkY (🤪) typewriter guy.
Most pretentious thing I've ever seen (yes, he looked exactly like you're picturing)
Another Henson razor thanks here! Enjoyed mine the last 8 months or so since getting it after your referral.
thumbs up just for the intro lol. just imagining this being someone’s first Joe video. totally normal
I say don't do it until Elon does it.
I wouldn't believe he did it though, just like how I didn't believe that was a real vaccine when Biden got his 1st one on TV. Just propaganda.
Elon already did it. That's why he's the richest man in the world and trying to take over Mars and mine the asteroid belt to become the first trillionaire. Lol.
Unless I get evidence that elon genuinely has one of these things in his brain, and has it long term: I'd never trust it. Billionaires just want to use us as test subjects so they don't have to face the consequences of their creations.
I can appreciate the coolness, but please take into account us photosensitive folks who love your videos.
Btw, I’ve been around since the beginningish and the growth you’ve made is incredible. I’m super proud of you!
i was spacing out during the sponsor at the end, and when i spaced back in i had to double take when i noticed you literally had the hulk hogan stache, i was so caught off guard 😭
I never noticed it till this intro but Joe reminds me of the dude in black keys. Rock on Joe🤘
woohoo there is going to be an actual physical differance between rich and poor people instead of a made up number!!! defenetally not dystopia
EDIT: this is long term but in the short term it it probably could help people if they could afford it
Not letting Musk stick a chip in anything
What if you're at a superbowl party and Elon asks if it's ok if he dips his chip in the chip dip?
Is that ok? _HMMM?_
(idk why the hell you'd invite Elon Musk to your party, but hypothetically speaking..)
Then I have good news for you, he won't do it personally. Nor any other humans. Neuralink has a robot surgeon that does it, because it has to be done far more precisely than what humans are capable of.
@@idontwantahandlethough If he's paying, fuck it. I'll charge him 10k per dip.
@@andrasbiro3007 Human, Robot, I don't give a crap who is actually physically installing it. So where is the good news?
@@RoninX33
You said you don't want Elon to put a chip in your head. To which I replied that Elon won't do it personally.
It kind of ruins the joke if I have to explain it.
If there's one thing we've learned in the last 1,000 miles of retreat, it's that Soviet agriculture is in dire need of mechanization.
I don't know how they put the skin on the fucking cheese!
Ha! Awesome intro. I had a nostalgic flashback moment when watching that Wang Chung music video as a kid. Joe, you’re the best.
Aren't human trials supposed to happen AFTER a successful animal trial
Yes they have in this multiple apes and just different primates have gotten the neurolink chip implanted. The FDA makes no exceptions for no one don’t worry
Imagine having an IQ so low that you think they would test on human after unsuccessful animal trials
I’m interested to see how AI can enhance the ability to push through the language barrier. To have an accurate and live translation that catches onto context and cultural differences would be immensely useful in all aspects of human interaction.
GPT-4 translates very well, it's just not real time yet. But in emails or direct messages it should already work.
I understand the desire for language translators. But i also understand expanding myself by learning a new language even though i am who polyglots point to when they refer to stupid Americans. I have taken Spanish, a bit of Russian, some Mandarin, ASL, and now Portuguese. I couldn't get a taxi in any of these languages. Computer languages make more sense in general, and they don't use taxis. Anyway, i think it diverts me from stupider past times.
@@stephenipsen3776 Oh, I don't think that this should replace learning a language, I've been trying to learn Japanese myself, but not everyone can learn more than one language, as even for people who love learning it does take a lot of time with lots of languages.
It would still make an excellent tool.
😂The facial hair. Lol lol
I didn't notice till the handlebar mustache🤣
I saw on PBS tonight a piece on the ocean temperatures seriously going up recently. If this occurs globally, which is likely, this will get people’s attention. Fish kills, etc.
Best plug ever! You had me laughing so hard I was in tears by the handlebar transition. Bravo 🎉
On the quadraplegic question, I was hoping to hear about developments related to befeware, Bio-Electric Feedback and Enhancement. If you struggle to understand or visualize, see the first episode of Batman Beyond. The suit has all these sensors and electrodes to acquire signature microvoltage inputs related to muscle activity and enhance that by about 4 times. If no one's working on this, why not? Seems far better than those exo-skeletons the military was working on.
Wow. Not only have you made me NOT skip the sponsored section, but you made me question reality enough to watch it a few times over.
What an interesting day to mention Titan and atmospheric pressure.
I'm the same. I was bullied just about my whole childhood. I then went into careers that allowed me a title so I wouldn't be bullied anymore. But at the end of the day, all I needed to fix, was me loving myself even though despite being my own bully and prevented me from living a un-bullied life, that would have been a simpler fix.
Very clever what you did in the editing during the sponsor segment. :P
