🇺🇸 Noland Arbaugh is paralyzed. He now has a chip in his brain. Neuralink's first human patient controls a computer with his thoughts, plays video games for hours, runs a business, and studies neuroscience. 2 years ago none of that was possible for him. This is the part of the future that actually arrived. Neuralink Elon Musk

🇺🇸 THAT SPECIAL MOMENT A NEURALINK PATIENT MOVED THE CURSOR WITH HIS MIND AFTER PARALYSIS A 29-year-old paralyzed man used Neuralink’s brain implant to play online chess and move a computer cursor—just by thinking. In a livestream on X, The implant, invisible once placed, reads brain signals and translates them into digital movement. Neuralink received FDA approval last year, and Arbaugh is the first known test subject. “It has already changed my life,” he added. No side effects have been reported. Neuralink now races against competitors to bring brain-computer tech to the mainstream. Source: Wired, Interesting Engineering, Neuralink, Noland Arbaugh

NEURALINK MADE HIM THE FIRST PATIENT - NOW HE’S UNSTOPPABLE 21 months after becoming the first human to receive a Neuralink implant, Nolan Arbaugh isn’t just typing with his mind, he’s taking pre-calc, studying neuroscience, and launching a speaking career. Paralyzed from the neck down after a diving accident, Nolan says the chip, nicknamed “Eve”, made the impossible not only possible, but normal. He’s gone from hospital bed to tech conference keynote, with Fortune already cutting the check. Neuralink doesn’t call him much anymore, he jokes it’s “once in a blue moon”, because now, others are joining the trial. And as for Nolan? He’s building a brand, getting straight As, and teasing “big news” for 2026. Not bad for a guy running on brainwaves. Source: Teslarati, Noland Arbaugh

🚨 NEURALINK’S FIRST NONVERBAL PATIENT JUST “SPOKE” USING TELEPATHY — AND IT’S BREAKING THE INTERNET “This is my old voice… cloned by AI.” A man with advanced ALS who lost ALL ability to speak is now communicating again using nothing but his thoughts. He made this video using telepathy, edited with his mind. Read that again. • Implant in his motor cortex (controls movement) • Size of five stacked quarters that replaces part of his skull • Robot threads placed millimeters into the brain, avoiding blood vessels • Thoughts → text → AI voice in real time Before this? He was completely paralyzed. Completely nonverbal. Trapped inside his own body using eye-tracking just to communicate. Now he’s typing with his mind… joking with his kids… even beating them at Mario Kart again. He says life has greatly improved since receiving the Neuralink brain chip impact. And that voice you’re hearing? Those are his thoughts turned into speech. Would you implant a chip in your brain to get your life back?

i don't think people realize what just happened with brain implants in china for the first time in history, a brain implant has been approved for commercial sale. you can actually buy one. it's called neo. costs around $15,000. the question everyone asks first: does it actually work? here's what the implant does. a coin-sized chip gets placed on the surface of the brain, right over the area that controls movement. when a paralyzed patient imagines moving their hand, the chip reads that signal, sends it to a computer, and the computer drives a mechanical glove that moves for them picking up objects, gripping utensils, handling daily tasks. all from thought alone. the whole surgery takes an hour and 40 minutes. surgeons thin the skull, open a small window, and place two electrodes directly on the surface of the brain. then they close it up, patients go home within a week. 32 patients with spinal cord injuries were implanted in a clinical trial led by huashan hospital > ALL 32 regained the ability to grab objects through the glove. > 100% improvement rate. > zero adverse side effects. no other brain implant company on earth has received approval to sell their device commercially. elon's neuralink is still in clinical trials. side effects from their more invasive approach have stalled any path to regulatory clearance. china is the only country where you can buy a brain implant right now. this is by design. months before the approval, china published a national policy document with 17 steps to dominate the brain implant industry within 5 years. they want brain-reading devices to be as common as hearing aids. headbands, visors, earpieces that pick up brain signals... all mass-produced for consumers. and the government is coordinating the whole thing. funding the research, building the manufacturing, clearing the regulatory path, all at once. the West is moving painfully slow in comparison...still running controlled trials one patient group at a time. china already has a commercial product, a 72-year-old moving his leg on state television, and a national playbook to own the entire category.

Dr. Dale Bredesen just revealed that the most-prescribed Alzheimer's drug makes patients WORSE than taking nothing at all. Aricept is the drug your neurologist hands out at the first sign of memory loss. It's been on the market for 30 years, and almost every patient with early dementia is on it. Dr. Lon Schneider from USC published a paper on it. He discovered Aricept patients decline FASTER than untreated patients over time. The early "boost" wears off, and the brain damage accelerates underneath while you keep filling the prescription. Most neurologists still prescribe it because there isn't a better pill, so families keep buying it every month, hoping it's slowing things down. The data shows it's actually pulling forward the decline. A new randomized trial just dropped showing what actually works for early Alzheimer's (covered in the thread below). I’ve implemented parts of the protocols mentioned in this study in my own homes and have personally seen how it can help reverse dementia and early onset Alzheimer's. PS: I’ve opened 7 more slots this month to my online community where we share these exact protocols. If you’d like to see if this could help you, book a call directly with me. Link in bio.

During DLSS 5 Hands-On Video, YouTube creator Hot Hardware asked Nvidia employees this question about the computational cost of DLSS 5 when you move around in the game and it really caught my eye on how they hesitated on showing any DLSS 5 footage during motion. Every time that he moved the character, he would turn off DLSS 5 first then move to a different in-game location and then turn it on, or if DLSS 5 was turned on the movement was very slow and controlled. I know this is still work in progress, but it really begs the question "why wouldn't they show any this?" or "why show DLSS 5 this early?" I tried freezing some shots when another character is in motion to check if there are any artifacts when DLSS 5 is turned on. As suspected, I did come across some artifacts with UI elements, character popping out of the UI element and ghosting/artifacts behind the character. Its still not the best way to judge these small details that you can clearly see if a footage is recorded in-game, but then again its not like Nvidia provided any of them during DLSS 5 marketing campaign. Whenever this is still going to be present by the time DLSS 5 launches remains to be seen, however as of right now it doesn't look like it will handle fast-paced motion quite well and I don't know how well this "controlled AI-generated" rendering will scale to weaker GPUs in the RTX 50 series

NEW: Tech billionaire and lifelong Democrat Mark Pincus reveals his "Red Pill" moment, sparked by Mike Solana's Pirate Wires and the "very fine people" hoax, culminating in him voting for Donald Trump. "I started reading Pirate Wires and Mike Solana, and I thought he was a little crazy at first because he would write these articles, and one he wrote was about how the Ukrainian soldiers had swastikas on their helmets, and the NYT photographers would ask them to take the swastikas off for photos." "I said that can't be true, and then four months later, it was in the NYT buried in the middle of the paper, and I kept seeing stories like that that he would be early on. So, I started feeling more uncomfortable and queasy with what was going on with mainstream media." "Then, in May 2024, I read an article that talked about Trump's speech in Charlottesville, where he said there are good people on both sides, and the article said it was completely propaganda and didn't actually reflect what he said. That he denounced the Nazis a bunch of times in his speech, so then I went and watched that video, and that was my red pill moment." "I think it was for a lot of people because it wasn't just the media or politicians spinning it. That speech was one of the pillars of why you were supposed to hate Trump. Then you see Biden say that's why he had to run a second time, and Obama says it, and Biden brings it up again at the DNC." "They clearly know they are misrepresenting things, so for me, that was beyond uncomfortable. Now, I have to go back to first principles and look at the primary data, listen to only original speeches by people, and I just realized I couldn't trust the mainstream media."

🇺🇸🇸🇴 MINNEAPOLIS MAYOR JACOB FREY WAVES SOMALI FLAG ON STAGE - PISSES OFF AMERICANS EVERYWHERE Minneapolis's leader is ditching the American flag for foreign ones, showing where his loyalties really lie and fueling division. Jacob Frey is hyped up at Somali Week, wildly swinging Somalia's blue star flag like he's campaigning overseas instead of fixing Minneapolis messes. Locals rage that elected politicians should rep the USA first, not chase votes by pandering at immigrant fests while ignoring everyday citizens. This looks like politicians care more about cultural stunts than national pride. This is a slap in the face from leaders who forget they work for American people, not foreign crowds. Why wave another country's colors when your own city deals with crime and chaos under your watch? Source: John LeFevre

🇺🇸🇻🇪 DEMS VOTERS SAY THEY’D PICK MADURO OVER TRUMP: "HE'S A MINORITY, HE'S NOT WHITE" Some young Americans at a protest were asked if they’d trade Trump for Maduro, the guy who turned Venezuela into one of the poorest, most repressed countries on the planet. Their answer? A cheerful yes, because he’s not rich, not white, and sounds revolutionary. What makes this worse it’s the complete ignorance of what Maduro actually is. A socialist strongman who jailed opponents, rigged elections, and crushed free speech while millions starved or fled the country. Young people cheering him on have no clue what socialism actually did to Venezuela. They hear “anti-capitalist” and think that means free health care and college. They don’t see the torture centers, the broken economy, or the fake elections that kept Maduro in power. It was a full display of how disconnected some people are from history, facts, and reality. And the kind of political fraud that helped prop up regimes like his in the first place. Youngs asked about Maduro: "Yeah. I mean, I think Maduro was democratically elected. Probably, yeah. Sure. More than likely, yes, of course. If there's a Maduro out here who's going to bring us to revolution, I will support that movement. I would rather have a bus driver in charge than a billionaire, okay? Let's put it that way. Maduro could come and be our president? Oh, any day. Look, all the check marks are there. He's not white. He's a minority." Source: Eric Daugherty

The Tale of Two Contagions In 2019, German psychiatrists observed a sudden surge of adolescent girls presenting to clinics with abrupt-onset Tourette-like tics. This immediately raised alarm bells. Tourette’s typically affects boys and begins in early childhood. This was an entirely new patient population. Researchers quickly identified the index case: Jan Zimmermann, a young Tourette sufferer, whose YouTube channel had recently exploded in popularity. The girls displayed the exact same symptoms as Jan: the same outbursts and catchphrases. The phenomenon soon migrated to TikTok, where it spread like wildfire. Researchers coined a new term for what they were observing: mass social media–induced illness — a modern iteration of the long-recognized phenomenon of mass sociogenic illness. Yet, in 2014, when paediatric gender clinics across the Western world began to fill with adolescent girls — another entirely new patient population — “gender-affirming” clinicians didn’t even bother to look for the trigger. And it wouldn’t have taken much effort to find. All it required was a glance at the cultural messaging of the time. Because 2014 was the year Time magazine put Laverne Cox on its cover with the headline: The Transgender Tipping Point: America’s Next Civil Rights Frontier. And with that, the modern trans rights movement launched. Trans-identified celebrities were everywhere, trans characters appeared in children’s books and television shows, trans influencers proliferated with astonishing speed online, and schools began teaching gender identity ideology as if it were scientific fact. And in a perfect-storm scenario, smartphones and social media exploded in popularity, creating the ideal super-spreading environment for this seductive idea to go viral. The message adolescents received was simple: If you hate your body, that could mean you’re trans. And right on cue, legions of confused adolescents who hated their developing bodies began showing up at gender clinics believing themselves to be trans. Just like the TikTok tics. A mass social media–induced illness. Except on this occasion, instead of scrambling to contain the epidemic, doctors picked up their syringes and scalpels and set about permanently medicalising the innocent youth caught up in this powerful cultural storm. And activists marched in the streets demanding that these young people be allowed to sacrifice their health, fertility, and body parts — while swiftly demonising anyone who dared point out the obvious parallels to social contagions of the past.

The totalitarianism we warned of is happening. The European Union is at this moment forcing big tech companies to secretly engage in mass censorship. Google and Facebook are, apparently, going along with it. Only Elon Musk’s X, among the major platforms, is resisting. A few hours ago, Musk said, “The European Commission offered 𝕏 an illegal secret deal: if we quietly censored speech without telling anyone, they would not fine us. The other platforms accepted that deal. 𝕏 did not.” And so now, the EU is preparing to punish X with massive fines — up to 6% of total global revenue. I can't imagine a more egregious form of foreign interference in our domestic affairs than foreign governments demanding mass secret censorship for ideological and political purposes. Most terrifying is the apparently direct involvement of government intelligence and security agencies, and their intermediaries, in demanding censorship. This is all happening at the very moment that the same governments, including our own, warn of Russian disinformation through spam accounts that hardly anybody ever sees. Don’t be fooled by what is happening. Governments and former intelligence officials in Europe, Australia, Israel, Brazil, and Ukraine and other nations are not only demanding censorship but also often spreading their own disinformation. For example, the EU claims that there is more false information on X than on other platforms, and more censorship would reduce it. This is false. Only X has the open-source Community Notes system, which allows for real-time corrections to false information. A recent study in JAMA, the Journal of American Medicine, found that 97.5% of the Community Notes were entirely accurate, 2%, partially accurate, and 0.5%, inaccurate. It’s not perfect. I myself sometimes disagree with them. And of course, science is never standing still, so what appears accurate today might not be accurate in the future. However, X’s Community Notes uses more speech, not censorship, to provide context to controversial content. You can still agree or disagree with the content, even with a Community Note attached. What the EU wants is for its committees of experts, not Community Notes, to secretly decide what we can read and say online. This is unethical and unconstitutional. Another key part of the EU’s disinformation is that “researchers” should have access to X’s internal data, which Musk cut off when he bought Twitter. But those people who want the data aren’t researchers. They’re censorship activists, many of whom have deep relationships with governments in general and intelligence agencies in particular. If the EU succeeds in censoring X, Facebook, Google, and every other major Internet platform, then there is no free speech. There is only government-controlled speech. Many people rightly worry about the implications of a single man, Elon Musk, being all that stands between us and foreign governments’ totalitarian censorship plans. I worry about that, too. Our speech is inalienable. It is not something governments give to us. We need to fight back. While we should be grateful to Musk for standing up to the totalitarians in Europe, Brazil, and Australia, we must build a citizen’s movement to fight back. There’s three things you can do. First, share this video to raise the alarm. Second, add your email to our list here, so we can involve you in the future. And, third, consider making a donation to build the free speech movement and urge Congress and other social media companies to stand up for free speech against foreign interference.

A recent study in JAMA, the Journal of American Medicine, found that 97.5% of the Community Notes were entirely accurate, 2%, partially accurate, and 0.5%, inaccurate. It’s not perfect. I myself sometimes disagree with them. And of course, science is never standing still, so what appears accurate today might not be accurate in the future. However, X’s Community Notes uses more speech, not censorship, to provide context to controversial content. You can still agree or disagree with the content, even with a Community Note attached. What the EU wants is for its committees of experts, not Community Notes, to secretly decide what we can read and say online. This is unethical and unconstitutional. Another key part of the EU’s disinformation is that “researchers” should have access to X’s internal data, which Musk cut off when he bought Twitter. But those people who want the data aren’t researchers. They’re censorship activists, many of whom have deep relationships with governments in general and intelligence agencies in particular. If the EU succeeds in censoring X, Facebook, Google, and every other major Internet platform, then there is no free speech. There is only government-controlled speech. Many people rightly worry about the implications of a single man, Elon Musk, being all that stands between us and foreign governments’ totalitarian censorship plans. I worry about that, too. Our speech is inalienable. It is not something governments give to us. We need to fight back. While we should be grateful to Musk for standing up to the totalitarians in Europe, Brazil, and Australia, we must build a citizen’s movement to fight back. There’s three things you can do. First, share this video to raise the alarm. Second, add your email to our list here, so we can involve you in the future. And, third, consider making a donation to build the free speech movement and urge Congress and other social media companies to stand up for free speech against foreign interference.

A monumental moment in medical history: the first gene therapy for genetic hearing loss is now FDA approved. As a former Regeneron scientist, I feel very proud. I had the opportunity to hear about this programme while it was still in development. It’s one of the few programmes that, every time you came across it, you felt the medical breakthrough in your bones and privileged just to be there while it was happening. At this moment, it’s important that we look 30 years back when researchers mapped a locus on chromosome 2 to congenital deafness in a Lebanese family ( They named it DFNB6 (later DFNB9) with no clue about the responsible gene. Three years later, the causal gene came to light: OTOF, encoding a protein called otoferlin ( Seven years after that, in 2006, pioneering work by Christine Petit revealed that otoferlin is a calcium sensor in the inner hair cell membrane, acting as a molecular trigger that converts sound into electric signals that the brain can read ( Twenty years fast forward, we now have a successful treatment. Thirty years from discovery to medicine. OTOF-related deafness is congenital, caused by complete deficiency of otoferlin. In these children, the cochlea is structurally intact, hair cells are there, the mechanics of sound transmission work. It’s just that final step, where hair cells hand off the signal to the auditory nerve through neurotransmitter release, that doesn’t happen. Sound arrives and dies at the synapse. It’s deafness due to a defect in the synapse caused by the absence of a single protein, which is what made this a beautiful, clean target for gene therapy. The treatment itself is a feat of molecular engineering. OTOF is too large to fit in a single AAV capsid. The team solved this elegantly by delivering the gene in two halves separately, which then get spliced to produce the full functional protein. A single surgical injection into the cochlea, a molecular miracle unfolds. Results from the CHORD trial were striking: of 20 evaluable patients, including children as young as 10 months, 80% showed meaningful hearing improvement, and by 48 weeks, 42% had achieved normal hearing including the ability to hear whispers. Otarmeni is not only the first gene therapy for deafness, it’s also the first dual-AAV therapy to be approved by the FDA. There are very few things in medicine that come close to giving back a sense like vision, hearing, or touch that a human never had from birth. It’s almost God’s work. A parent witnessing their child who was born deaf hearing their voice for the first time, it’s a joy that no words can describe. Multiply that by the fact that it came from a single injection, a repaired gene, and 30 years of science. We are truly in the golden era of medicine.

Elad Gil’s 3 archetypes of hyper-successful founders Elad Gil has invested in and advised some of the largest companies in the world, including Stripe, Airbnb, Figma, Instacart, and Coinbase. When asked what made the founders of these companies so successful, Elad replies: “I think a lot of it is: Do you end up in the right market? Is the market big enough? Is it growing? Is it dynamic in the right way? I think half of it just is that you find the right market…. So you need the right market, but within that, there are tons of people who enter these markets and do horribly. So what’s different?” He notices that hyper-successful founders tend to fall into three buckets: “The first one is the polymathic, hyper-intellectual, yet very competitive person. And that’s probably Patrick and John [Collison] from Stripe. That was Larry and Sergey when I worked at Google — they were very polymathic, very deep on everything.” He continues: “I think the second one is the super hardcore, extremely focused, really really driven, overdrive founder. That may be Travis [Kalanick] from Uber… And I think there are almost signals of those because a lot of people in our ecosystem now, for example, are doing angel investing or they’re involved with lots of other companies while they’re running their own company. And this second class of founders doesn’t do any of that. They say no to everything, and they’re all-in on one thing.” Joe Lonsdale adds that this second type reminds him of Peter Thiel or Elon Musk in the early days: “I feel like Elon used to be more that way because he literally would say no to everything.” And then the third type of founder is one who is early to a network effects business: “If you have something that has network effects, you’re going to do well.” Video source: American Optimist Joe Lonsdale (2024)

🚨EXCLUSIVE: Unearthed Charlie Kirk High School SKIT —The Most BASED President We NEVER Got To See 🇺🇸 We just unearthed this RARE footage of Charlie Kirk from his junior year at Wheeling High School in 2010, and it is absolutely heartbreaking to watch today. Even back then, Charlie was already acting presidential. While other kids were playing video games, Charlie was volunteering for U.S. Senate campaigns, listening to Rush Limbaugh, and crafting the debate skills that would one day build a massive movement. WATCH THE CLIP: He steps up to the podium for a skit as the "President of the United States." He rattles off the stats like a pro: "Unemployment at 8.4%... High gas prices... Barack Obama..." But then, with that classic Charlie humor, he pivots to the "most important issue": Blue and Gold Friday. He had the cadence. He had the charisma. He had the vision. People close to him always said it: "Charlie Kirk will be President one day." He was on that path. He was building the base. He was ready to save this country. But on September 10th, that future was stolen from us. They didn't just take a podcaster; they took the future leader of the America First movement. This is a glimpse of the "Based President" we should have had. Rest in Peace, Mr. President. 🕊️🇺🇸 Tag Candace Owens, RT if you also miss Charlie 🫶🙏
