Episode notes

Ayou about the idea of if you took all what's happening on twitter, or some future twitter, where you have a sort of a subjective consciousness of the planet being fed into it. The thing that blew me away the most supertis i supersypy and super mad scientist to me, is the idea of plugging it into a factory,. You could just know, like, i just know everything is happening in this factory. I can feel every a machine and person working in it. And you use the phrase, you, in a sense, you would become the factory in a way. If you coud talk about any way, i had never thought about until a couple of days

In this episode we sit down with neuroscientist David Eagleman to learn how brains turn noise into signal, chaos into order, electrical spikes into meaning, and how new technology can expand subjective reality in ways never before possible.

In his new book, Livewired, Eagleman explores how brains come into the world "half baked" so they can create reality itself out of the inputs and experiences available. And now, thanks to that plug-and-play plasticity, with the latest tools, not only can we return senses to people who've lost them, but we can add to any brain senses we can't imagine.
