mean, that doesn't even feel like that could even be real, but if it is, how cool.

So you've got your blood pressure, your blood sugar. I think they already have mobile blood drawing service someplace, but you'll see more of it. So imagine you could just use your app and dial up a mobile blood-taking person who just shows up and takes your blood, gives it to the lab, and next you know you've got all kinds of information.

Then imagine also you have mobile nurses, because there's a whole bunch of stuff you don't need a proper doctor for. Sometimes you do. You need a bandage. You need something checked that just requires a physical manipulation. So maybe you just dial up a mobile nurse just like you'd get an Uber.

And then if there's more drug competition, we could maybe get drugs down. That's a tougher one. But all of these things put together — they're all happening sort of in their own domain, but you can sort of see them starting to come together in what I would call the poor person's health care. A health care that would be so inexpensive you wouldn't even necessarily need insurance for the basic stuff. You still need insurance for the catastrophic stuff. Anyway, there's good news there.

Here's the scary news of the day. Pentagon scientists invent a microchip which can be inserted in your body. No problems yet, right? It senses COVID-19 in the body. And when I tweeted about this story, you would not be surprised that a lot of people said, "You're not turning me into any cyborg." I told you this was coming. I could see this a mile away. The government wants to put a chip in you. Pretty soon they'll be reading your thoughts, maybe controlling your body directly through the microchip. Privacy gone. So pretty bad, right?

Because the last thing you'd want is for the government to turn you into a cyborg where you're part machine, part human. You certainly wouldn't want a microchip running your body and your life, would you? Yeah, I certainly wouldn't want to be connected to any kind of microchip-like device in a way that it would be very, very hard to disconnect me from it. Because what if that device could have the power, hypothetically — and this is a strange, dangerous future. I barely want to talk about it, it's so scary — but what if the microchip and the device that was now part of your body permanently for all practical purposes, what if it could control your thoughts? What if it could erase your privacy because it can listen to you, it can know where you are, it can know what you're buying, what you're doing, what you're interested in. It can know what you're afraid of. It can know what you say. It can know how you speak.

Boy, you wouldn't want any kind of a device like that anywhere near you, would you? Yeah, that would be a scary future. So I think we could all agree we'd like to stay away from any kind of a future that would pair a microchip with your body.

If you're listening to this on audio only, you missed a hilarious component in which I had my smartphone held up to my face the entire time. And now if you audio-only people put it all together — put it all together, okay? I'll wait. Yes. The point is you're already a cyborg. That's not your future. That already happened.

So you can decide if it's good or bad, but it already happened. So do you like being controlled by private industry? Because that's the current situation. Is the government going to be worse? You know, whose chip will win? Will the government's chip hypothetically win, or will Elon Musk's Neuralink win, or will it be your phone? Will Apple win?

You're going to have a lot of microchips in your body. Some of them will be sort of adjacent to your body but working with you, such as your phone. Some of them will actually be embedded in your bones and your skin, maybe like this Pentagon one, maybe like Elon Musk's Neuralink in the future.

But here's what I say about all of this. I'm not really afraid of it. I guess I should be, right? Because everybody else is afraid of it. Why am I not afraid of it? I don't know the answer to that question, but none of it sounds scary to me. To me it just seems like a continuation of the obvious. There's nothing we can do about it. We will use products that make us happier, and we will give up privacy to do it, and we will give up control, and we will give up free will because it wasn't real anyway. So we're going to be there.

It doesn't mean that you're going to be tu
