About this episode
The episode discusses the implications of technology on privacy and the potential for a dystopian future.
Apps stealing clicks, Neuralink mining thoughts, and data-mining on the rise—dive into data grabs, gov tracking, neural risks like crosstalk, and the battle for your mind in 2026. Is privacy salvageable? Or are we on a path that is slowly but inevitably leading us towards a Dystopian future unlike any we've thought of before? This week we discuss some of the darkest possibilities that could come from tech, as well as some of the likely mandates and fallout on the horizon. This isn't just hypothetical, this is actual life, and it's happening now. Join in on the discussion on our Discord - https://discord.gg/JMTPN2MwQQ
