So I was reading this novel:- Nexus by Naam Ramez - https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13642710-nexus

It's written in our future where humanity has developed a technological fluid called Nexus which can be controlled on the nano-scale level.
You drink it, it gets mixed with your blood and ultimately will end up in your brain. Now if two people are having Nexus in their body, they can communicate with each other without talking.
They both can read each other's minds' patterns, understand what the other guy is thinking and collaborate on any particular project without saying anything to each other.
It just blew my mind.
Now that's just the beginning and it's Nexus 3.0. There are few college students who have advanced the tech and taken it to Nexus 5.0.
So the Nexus 5.0 has got a full-blown OS(Operating System) on its own. You drink it. It gets synced with your brain and you have an operating system sitting over your brain.
Now you can now import any personality in your brain and start acting exactly like that personality.
You can learn to ride a helicopter, become a great martial artist or an NBA player instantly. Only imagination is the limit. It's exactly like this:-

Would like to share this waitbutwhy blog by Tim Urban:- https://waitbutwhy.com/2017/04/neuralink.html which is about this stealth mode company of Elon Musk called Neuralink working in the domain of Brain Machine Interface.

It's a long but an extensively interesting read which explores what can be done to reach that level where we would be able to control our brain to the minutest level and would become PostHuman/Superman.

Would like to know the views of people here on this blog that what do you think will happen if we achieve that posthumanity. How much time do you think humanity will take to reach that level or would it be even possible for us to reach there.

Wish you all a Happy reading and thinking Smiley Smiley
