“I used to be the largest dairy consumer on the planet. I used to eat so much dairy and meat. The more that I looked into the dairy industry, the more that I saw that it was the singular, most inhumane industry on the planet, that we've all been lied to, including myself, for years. I always believed that the picture on the milk carton, the cow standing next to her calf in the green field with the red barn in the back was true. It’s certainly the complete opposite.” – Richard (Kudo) Couto Richard (Kudo) Couto is the founder of Animal Recovery Mission (ARM), an organization solely dedicated to investigating extreme animal cruelty cases. ARM has led high-risk undercover operations that have resulted in the shutdown of illegal slaughterhouses, animal fighting rings, and horse meat trafficking networks. Recently, they released a damning investigation into two industrial dairy farms outside of Phoenix, Arizona supplying milk to Coca-Cola’s Fairlife brand. What they uncovered was systemic animal abuse, environmental violations, and a devastating betrayal of consumer trust. While Fairlife markets its products as being sourced "humanely," ARM’s footage tells a very different story—one of suffering, abuse, and corporate complicity. Despite the evidence, this story has been largely ignored by mainstream media—likely due to Coca-Cola’s massive influence and advertising dollars.…

How Neuralink will help paralyzed people walk, explained. 9:26

6 weeks ago9:26

9:26

Elon Musk’s company, Neuralink is building brain implants to help paralyzed people walk again. Scientists have figured out that even when someone is paralyzed, their brain still tries to send signals to their limbs to move. It’s like the brain is shouting, “Walk!” but the message gets stuck because the spinal cord is broken. Neuralink’s plan is to steal the messages from the brain and deliver them past the broken part, so the legs can hear them again. Isn’t this remarkable?!…

Neuralink has the big dream of connecting human brains directly to computers. The company was started by Elon Musk in 2016, and it’s working on something called a brain-computer interface (BCI)—a technology that lets your brain talk to machines and machines talk back to your brain.

2024 Neuralink Update – First Human Implant 23:17

1 year ago23:17

23:17

After getting FDA approval last year, Neuralink has successfully completed their first in-human implantation. Ryan shares the latest news and updates in this information packed episode. Elon gave an update a couple days ago on an X Space. Oddly enough, Vladimir Putin heard about this first implantation and commented on it. There's been a lot of discussion regarding the latest VR/ AR tech product- the Apple Vision Pro. Ryan compares this functionality to a Neuralink. Ryan then goes into more investigative detail to learn about Neuralink's testing procedures. Following a (bogus) Delaware court ruling on Elon Musk's pay package at Tesla, Neuralink has officially moved out of Delaware and reincorporated in the state of Nevada.

How Neuralink Will Solve Blindness 14:49

00:16 Elon on helping quadriplegics and the blind 01:29 Neuralink background 02:52 James Douma explains how this works 04:34 Can Neuralink actually do this? 05:07 Neuralink will learn a lot 07:14 How we see 09:27 Improvements will occur rapidly 13:14 The brain is flexible Zuby x Elon Interview: https://youtu.be/pjc_oo4ApSY Think a tiny chip could be the answer to blindness? Sounds like sci-fi, right? Well, you might want to think again. Here’s a clip of Elon sharing the first two problems his company Neuralink is focused on solving. Around 40 million people around the world have some form of blindness. This number continues to grow, but fortunately this problem may become an issue of the past. If you’ve been subscribed to Neura Pod, and already understand the basics of how Neuralink will work, go ahead and skip the next 60 seconds of the video. So far, Neuralink has demonstrated they’ve successfully been able to implant this quarter-sized package in monkeys and other animals, and now that it’s time to test in humans, you’re probably wondering how this tiny package will be able to provide vision to those who don’t currently have it. Neuralink is working on building a brain-machine interface, or device that will help us send information from our brains to our computers and vice versa. The surgery will require cutting open a hole in the skull, and having a surgical robot sew these very tiny threads into the brain. The threads have probes that can detect electrical impulses from the neurons and then send this information back to the chips. Since there are many problems Neuralink hopes to solve in the future, like depression, blindness, or paralysis, they have to identify the best areas of the brain to implant these chips. In the case of paralysis for example, they’ll implant in both the motor cortex and the spinal cord. In the case of solving blindness, they’ll implant in the visual cortex in the back of the brain. I had the chance to interview James Douma and ask him for more detail on how they’ll be able to achieve this. Thanks for watching. My name is Ryan Tanaka. If you’re interested in hearing more from James about how Neuralink works, check out this video.…
