@neuralink Hi amazing people. I'm curious about superintelligence vs limbic urges. During the 2nd @lexfridman x @elonmusk interview, EM said (abridged): "We currently operate like we've got a monkey brain with a computer stuck on it. A lot of impulses are driven by the MB…"[1/4]

"...The cortex is constantly trying to make the monkey brain happy; it's not the cortex steering the monkey brain, it's the monkey brain steering the cortex. It seems like the really smart thing should control the dumb thing, but actually the dumb thing controls the smart thing."

Q: What are implications of this re the cognitive enhancement potential of Neuralink? Could the cortex going Super-Saiyan in its present relationship with monkey-brain deepen the monkey-brained dissarray of human civilisation, & challenges we face as a species & as individuals?

Could it facilitate the rise of real-life monkey-brain-driven supervillains? If not, how is that so? Or how can it be prevented, other than by superheroes? & is there any relevant information available to read [yet] around this subject? Thank you so much for everything *10^1337
