Platforms like Polymarket heavily favor Essencott, polling around 60%, compared to Netanyahu's 27% to take the premier's office.
BenHOST
Well, you screwed up on that one, DARPA.
BenHOST
Well, actually, that's not taking into consideration the coalition, which...
BenHOST
All the news, you know, media outlets are saying that this guy Gadi has a bigger one.
Ian FletcherGUEST
Now, question is, who's going to pay for that? Well, the taxpayer pays for that.
Ian FletcherGUEST
The government coercively takes a little bit of everybody's paycheck and says, you got to spend this to support NSF, and NIH, and DARPA, and a million other things, and the University of California at Berkeley.
Ian FletcherGUEST
Now, that's where legitimacy comes into the question because you need legitimacy to take people's money through taxes.
Ian FletcherGUEST
And if you want to have an effective economy, the implication is you need the legitimacy to make these decisions to impose collective costs and also to punish collective benefits, but that's environmentalism and pollution, which is very important, but I'm not talking about it here.
Chris McNultyHOST
How did you get into that role?
Alex NicklasGUEST
It was a pre-planned destiny because I had a painting company that turned into selling a business, getting into AI early via DARPA project about 25 years ago and made the leap.
Alex NicklasGUEST
Job to job, I stayed at most of my jobs at least eight years, each entity, Iridium to Arrowhead Technology Group and then Microsoft.
Alex NicklasGUEST
And that was my last journey at Microsoft.
Gavin BakerGUEST
The problem with rare earths, it's not that they're rare, it's that refining them is a very dirty process.
Gavin BakerGUEST
yeah so we we you know that we've invested in a company that you know has a chemical process for refining rare earths and you know i actually think darpa has done some pretty smart stuff like they kind of have a a lot of different efforts around this but yeah i mean i try to pay as close attention um to all of it as i can because you um You know, as an investor, you never know where a weak but important signal is going to come from.
Gavin BakerGUEST
And so I want to cast as wide a net as possible, but then also kind of focus maybe the portfolio on the areas where I do feel like maybe we have the biggest competitive advantage as a firm.
Gavin BakerGUEST
How are you

Chris CappyHOST
And the American military is still investing in some extraordinary techniques that are designed to interact directly with the human brain like this.
Chris CappyHOST
In 2019, DARPA funded six separate research teams developing brain interfaces that could eventually allow soldiers to control drone swarms just using neural signals.
Chris CappyHOST
The researchers were even investigating ways to send signals back into the brain using electromagnetic fields and ultrasounds.
Chris CappyHOST
The technology has legitimate medical and military applications, but American intelligence agencies have a much darker history of experimenting with the human mind.
MattHOST
Or we've done like several episodes.
MattHOST
But what's your guys' familiarity with DARPA?
