Summary
What happens when technology starts reshaping the human mind—and recording every moment of our lives? Ravi Gupta sits down with Atlantic staff writer Ross Andersen to explore two fascinating frontiers: the next generation of engineered psychedelics and the rise of AI-powered surveillance devices that can remember everything. They discuss whether scientists can design specific emotional states on demand, how psychedelics may transform medicine, and why a growing number of people are carrying AI assistants that record their daily lives. The conversation raises a deeper question: as technology gives us more control over our minds and memories, what might we lose in the process?
