From LSD to AI with Switzerland's Brain Explorers | Hello World with Ashlee Vance 

The episodes have been amazing lately Ashlee. Love seeing it before going to sleep out here. Headed back to the States soon....

Anyone know the movie with the female at 19:08 and 19:15 ?

Tha Swiss don't miss

Dude did you ever live in South Africa? You look so familiar.

Thank you for doing so and for sharing with us. Imagine where we'll be by the end of this century! Food for thought.

Your PT is world class

@@MMABeijingAbsolutely

they are excellent in research but lack in teaching - because professors - as so often - are not chosen for didacticts but their research. Its the students getting the jist of that. Speaking from experience!

@@homo-sapiens-dubiumhey, do you know if I could obtain an scholarship to go there and study? I’m from Latin America but I speak English fluently.

@@xothehost123 tuition at ETH is not very expensive (~800CHF per semester), living there is the main cost so I'm not sure if theres a way that the uni gives you a scholarship but a lot of people I know have had scholarships from their home country, so you might have to look into what kind of scholarships your country can offer

@@melgem2252 Thank you for the info! And yes, my main concern is the cost of living and the language. But honestly my only real concern is the language since I saw that they only offer their courses in German mostly. The cost of living doesn't concern me as much since I'd find a way to get away with that.

And it’s vast and concentrated wealth doesn’t hurt things.

I'm not from Swiss but also very proud of this amazing people ❤

Several of my mom's siblings have had these sleep paralysis for decades. I had it three times, a very spooky/scary experience. I also used to think that it's just our mind's attempts at trying to process/explain this unexplainable experience and the mind just brings up whatever kinda makes sense in this situation and creates these images/silhouettes of mystical creatures from the past database/experiences like movies, stories, cartoons etc.; and then 15 years later demons were cast out of me at a church which I walked into as an atheist lol. This is a real story and I was oh-so-humbled and traumatized because I was totally unprepared. There is so much more in this existence that we don't know/choose not to educate ourselves.

I had sleep paralysis 3 or 4 nights, several times each night. Twice when I was 16. I woke up, couldn't move, and when I opened my eyes a very old lady was screaming right in my face, like almost touching me and I could almost feel her breath on my face. Then the same happened with an old man. I had never heard of sleep paralysis ebfore and it took years before I found out it was a real thing. Then, the next 2 times were last month actually. I woke up, couldn't move, didn't hallucinate any people but I kept trying desperately to get up as I was aware I could hallucinate one any minute. Then I'd succeed in getting up, or moving, but then I'd blink my eye and I Would STILL be paralysed. I hallucinated I had succeeded in getting up about 15-20 times, it was horrible lol. Once I even made it to the toilet only to blink and still be paralyzed in my bed. It took so much effort trying to move that I eventually fell back asleep not having moved a single toe. Which is what you should try if it ever happens to you! Moving a toe or a finger will wake your body up and enable the rest of your limbs to move after. Just didn't work for me because I was on sleeping pills and my body was too tired. But for normal people it should work

Most of people i know have had the sleep paralysis, luckily without scary hallucination in my case (i've had them while awake though, beyond scary). We have aord for it in my language, known for at least centuries, attributed to an evil spirit, "lietuvēns". This is the best explanation yet, don't know about the supernatural - as everything is natural, if yet unexplained.

Its not, the neuronetwork research behind AI is decades old, we just didn't have the hardware to run it until now.

If you get your NeuraLink implants now, you can synch to OpenAI and design better cyborgs.

What universities have AI PhD programs? I'm asking out of curiosity, not being critical :)

@@TurdFurgeson275 any uni have CS or CompEng will have AI program. For PhD, it's more how u plan ur research, instead of comparing to undergrad u following what ever curriculum ur program offers.

Thank you!

Thank you!

Onward should be coming to the US soon

You win

I’m happy to experience this win for all of us 😉

Its about what the swiss have done in regards to brain/mind research. Its relevant because its a previous achievement in a relevant field from the same country.

@@Psyminds yeah, but they didn't actually say anything about it

I mean, I did try and Google it

Yeah, their spinal implant will have more electrodes and go closer to the motor neurons, but they're still a long ways away and nowhere near human trials for the spinal stuff. Have a big Neuralink story coming in Businessweek here in a few days.

Sorry if that's how it came off. I was really just trying to inject some Hicks into the bit

If you know, you know

No, this year. Mid-year

@@AshleeVanceHelloWorld Thank you :) Knowing the time helps!

@@AshleeVanceHelloWorld The mice experiment led me to believe that it could be a pre chat gpt time 😄

Set and setting really affect any experience...but maybe some day you'll try again in a place you feel absolutely safe with someone you trust implicitly....if you want to.

where did u get your hands on acid?

@@TheRightWay11 someone my brother knew on Colfax Street. That was 40 years ago so they may not even be alive anymore. LOL

@@TheRightWay11 I may be pointlessly lingering haha

Never done LSD, but shrooms (psilocybin) yes, my brother mixed some shrooms up in a kiwi fruit smoothie - nothing happened. A few days later while my brother had to go to work, I asked to try the rest plain and by myself - had a brad trip, probably best not to do that alone, lest your thoughts get away from you. Anyway, I told a neighbor friend of my bro that I was having a bad trip. He knew what to do and handed me some chewable vitamin C. Gonna do some shrooms? > then keep some vitamin C on hand just in case, it should nullify the psychoactive effect. I don't know if vit C will do the same for LSD?
