John Connor is the guy.

Yeah, he gets infected by Skynet and nanites convert his body into a machine.

And I'm watching that and it's like, so this dude can shapeshift, fly, do whatever he wants.

I mean, that sounds pretty dang appealing to a lot of people.

When I saw that movie and they were like, oh no, he's going to try and turn us all into robots.

That's bad.

But I guarantee you a lot of people watch that and they're like, no, I'm for that.

How many people would love to have nanomachines convert their body into an immortal form where they can shapeshift, fly, turn into a spaceship, don't need air anymore?

Yeah, that's the idea of knurling.

Integrating our mind into the machine so that we in the machine are one and we can never be wiped out.

This is what Pluribus is about, I swear.

They show Pluribus where there's a, if you haven't seen it, I recommend it.

They get a transmission from outer space.

They figure out it's RNA.

They make a virus.

And then anybody infected becomes a hive mind.

And then everybody is a hive mind.

And they're like, we're so much happier this way.

Would you take the NICN?

If you were sitting in your room, and like black sludge came through the window, and then it like molded up and projected a video, and it was a face that said, Ian, we'd like to offer you the opportunity to integrate with these nanites, which will make you immortal.
