MSP310. Weird Science: Mind Control Drones, Ultrasonic Mood Boosts and Yellow Snow.

In a week that has inspired elation and desolation in possibly equal amounts, the visible and voluble presence of the world’s tech elite in the hallways of power is giving pause to many.

Rich and Matt take a beat to remind themselves that there’s still more to tech than gaslighting, mind control and crude money politics.

From the latest breakthroughs in weight loss drugs like Wegovy and Ozempic and their surprising health benefits to innovative brain-computer interfaces that could transform mental health treatment, the pair explores cutting-edge advancements that are making a real difference to real people.

If that’s not enough to raise your spirits, they also outline a groundbreaking method to turn useless waste products into fertiliser.
