*Welcome to the human hivemind. Biohacking pioneer Amal Graafstra discusses Neuralink’s first brain implant procedure & speculates on the evolution of neural interactive simulations like the Matrix and networked hive minds like the Borg.*
Amal Graafstra is a book author, TEDx speaker, and CEO of biohacking companies Dangerous Things and VivoKey Technologies. Amal has various RFID and NFC implants in his body that open doors, start vehicles, unlocks his smartgun, and logs into computers.
Prior to his current roles, Amal’s experience includes numerous exective & IT-related roles at firms including Walletmor, Everfind, the medical biotech company Morpheus, Atomic Mobile, Silicon Energy, and more. He joins us today to discuss the intersection of information technology & medicine with a focus on the future of identity and security management.
I will continue to say it: billionaires are using dystopian fiction as a blue print for the future because they lack the imagination necessary to understand life could be better without constant consumption and growth.
Tim, you bring up the Matrix when discussing brain implants. Imagine if humans wanted to eat junk food and could do it virtually. You are sitting on your couch with your pet watching TV but eating virtual donuts or cheeseburgers. In the real world one could stick to healthy foods.
That RFID thing was pretty cool.
Encrypted logins also sound good.
I wouldn’t have to remember any of my passwords.
