535: Transhumanism: Will the future need people like you?

P&C drink and review Beach Traffic lager from Big Oyster Brewery, then discuss the blurring lines between using technology to restore human function vs. enhancing it beyond natural limits. From bionic limbs and neural implants to nanobots, AI integration, and the terrifying implications of brain-computer interfaces, Pigweed and Crowhill ask: Are we on the verge of becoming obsolete in a world run by machines? Is humanity enhancing itself—or handing over the keys to a new digital overlord?

Topics include:

* Neuralink and brain-machine communication
* The ethical dilemma of enhancement vs. restoration
* Transhumanism as a new religion
* The rise of a “useless class” in an AI-driven society
* Merging with machines vs. resisting the singularity
* Whether we’ll need implants just to participate in modern life

Grab a cold one and join the conversation. This is part one of a discussion that’s as hilarious as it is haunting.
