Could Neuralink accidentally turn all its users into a hive mind? That’s what we’re going to be exploring in this episode where we take a look inside the brain and at the possibility for Neuralink’s high bandwidth and low latency to transform the nature of consciousness.

This episode looks at why, from a historical theoretical it could have been otherwise. And why it wasn't.
