So as people get older, for instance, nostalgia can be an enormous source of happiness, right? And being nostalgic can improve people's moods in the moment. But it just depends on what they do with it, because what you can sometimes see is nostalgia has the opposite effect of thinking those were the good old days and those days are over. Right.

It's like America used to be so great and now it sucks. You know, my life used to be so great when I was a kid and now it's not. Right. And you're selectively remembering the things that we don't realize how selective our remembering self is. And so, you know, I lived through the 70s. It sucked.

Partly it sucked more for me, but I would say that even otherwise, it's like there's all sorts of problems going on. Gas lines, people were like, you know, worried about like Russia, nuclear war, blah, blah, blah. So, I mean, it's just this idea that people have about the past can be very useful to

If it brings you happiness in the present, but if it narrows your worldview in the present, you're not aware of those biases that you have, it can be toxic, either at a personal level or at a collective level.

Yeah, I mean, I can't say specifics about the company because I haven't studied it that much. But I mean, I think there's two parts of it. So one is they're developing some really interesting technology, I think, with these like surgical robots and things like that. BCI, though, has like a whole lot of innovation going on.

I'm not necessarily seeing any scientific evidence from Neuralink, and maybe that's just because I'm not looking for it, but I'm not seeing the evidence that they're anywhere near where the scientific community is. And there's lots of startups that are doing incredibly innovative stuff. One of my colleagues, Sergey Savitsky, is just like a genius in this area, and they're working on it.

I think speech... Prosthetics that are incorporating decoding techniques with AI and movement prosthetics. The rate of progress is just enormous. So part of the technology is having good enough data and understanding which data to use and what to do with it, right? Mm-hmm. And then the other part of it then is the algorithms for decoding it and so forth.
