Neuralink's N1 chip lets a patient move a robotic arm using thought alone. No nerves, no muscles: the signal bypasses the body entirely. The transhumanist era has already begun.

We've grown used to AI delivering perfect answers in 30 seconds. Now real people seem slow, vague, inefficient. We haven't become more demanding — we've become incompatible with human speed.
