(UPDATE: Here's Valerie's story.)
Hold on to your brain stems: Elon's in the news again.
This time, it's because the FDA approved Musk's company Neuralink to begin human trials for its brain implants, which he's claimed will do everything from curing paralysis and autism to turning us into web-surfin' cyborgs.
But on this episode, our second-time guest, Valerie Demicheva, takes us through Neuralink's history of animal-welfare violations, which have led to investigations by the USDA and Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine.
We talk with Valerie about the promise of brain-implants, the questionable effectiveness of animal testing, and Musk's amazing ability to bend media coverage to his will ... perhaps through the invasive implantation of Twitter.
Meanwhile, with this episode, let us implant ideas that may enable you to move your own opinions ... with your mind.
