“Neuroscientists who stand up and say ‘we have souls’ are few and far between,” says pediatric neurosurgeon Dr. Michael Egnor.
“But when you look carefully at the neuroscience—the best neuroscience over the past century—it clearly points to the existence of the soul and to the existence of aspects of our mind that don't come from the brain.”
Egnor himself started off as a materialist and atheist. But 40 years and more than 7,000 brain surgeries later, he concluded that reason and free will do not reside in the brain. In this episode, he reveals what he’s found.

Funny you use the word antenna. That’s how I started describing it after coming very close to death (run over by one of the precious “migrants” who had multiple DUIs).
AI can trade stocks for you, write for you, compose music for you, even immitate your speaking style and voice. It can even be your girlfriend, and with the right attachments simulate sex.

It’s like Pierre Boulle’s Planet of the Apes meets The Terminator.
Yup.
