BCIs, Brain-Computer Interfaces, are no longer the technology of the future but of today. As this these devices improve and move from the lab to humans, what challenges and advantages will we gain, and how do they work?

Science & Futurism with Isaac Arthur.
Episode 296, June 24, 2021

Produced, written, and narrated by isaac arthur.

Can a machine feel love, hate or grief? How do we write our laws around A.I.? Would you let an algorithm run the government? Watch my newest video where I attempt to answer these questions while introducing the concept of artificial Intelligence philosophy: an area of study that could take on these, and other mind-boggling questions in the future.

Philosophy and science are often thought of as separate things, but today I argue why they are more similar than we think. I also analyze why it is important to have a solid understanding of both, using critical thinking to acquire knowledge and use these tools to understand the world we live in.

Dive into the captivating realm of Biopunk Science Fiction in our latest video! 🌱 Discover what Biopunk is, from genetic engineering to human augmentation, and explore the ethical dilemmas it presents in our modern world. We’ll discuss its evolution through literature and film, touching on iconic works like \.

Biopunk androids replicants.


What happens when humans begin combining biology with technology, harnessing the power to recode life itself.

What does the future of biotechnology and genetic engineering look like? How will humans program biology to create organ farm technology and bio-robots. And what happens when companies begin investing in advanced bio-printing, artificial wombs, and cybernetic prosthetic limbs.

One of the biggest reasons for colonizing other worlds is to ensure we don’t die with our own sun, but even those alien suns we might travel to will die one day. And yet, our image of stars living than erupting spectacular as a red giant or supernova, present a somewhat false impression, as those stellar remnants often last far longer than the stars which bore them. Could civilizations survive around these dead stars? Could they even outlast the End of the Universe, as the last stars fade away?

Google’s X “moonshot factory” this week announced its latest graduate. Heritable Agriculture is a data-and machine learning-driven startup aiming to improve how crops are grown.

As the firm noted in an announcement post published Tuesday, plants are incredibly efficient and impressive systems. “Plants are solar powered, carbon negative, self-assembling machines that feed on sunlight and water,” Heritable wrote.

Yet agriculture puts a massive strain on the planet and its resources, accounting for around 25% of anthropogenic greenhouse emissions. It’s the planet’s largest consumer of groundwater and can lead to soil erosion and water pollution via pesticides, fertilizers, and other chemicals.

Thymic injury leads to reduced T cell production and makes patients more vulnerable to infections and cancers. Lemarquis et al. identify a population of recirculating regulatory T (Treg) cells that mediate regeneration in the injured thymus, partially through amphiregulin. An analogous population of Treg cells expressing CD39 and ICOS is found in humans, suggesting therapeutic avenues for boosting thymic regeneration to address aging-and treatment-induced immunosuppression.
