Okay, so we have a great show for you tonight,
Official YIFY movies site: YTS.MX
We have, uh, George Clooney coming in tonight
he's in the fabulous Ocean 17, we'll be talking about that.
Dame Helen Mirren, and our musical guest...
Taylor Swift.
First up...
a man that put a compass into his chest,
calls himself a cyborg with the North Sense.
Welcome, Scott Cohen. So, why did you do this?
What the hell is wro-- Oh, I don't know. - What's it like being you?
No, I'm ready for the... I'm waiting for our... uh,
what questions, what do you have? Sorry.
I started to film this documentary
completely out of curiosity.
It was so weird when my husband came home
to tell me that he wanted to become a cyborg.
I quickly realized that putting a piece of technology between us,
could create some distance in our relationship.
We are already such different people.
And he chose to go down a different path that I knew nothing about.
To keep filming was my way to be part of his journey.
Yes.
Get a grip on this camera.
It's fine.
This planet... is governed by an electromagnetic field.
Other species connect to it.
Um, as we walk, we walk through this...
magnetic field We just have no sense of it.
We're completely blind to it.
So, I'd like to open my eyes to it
and start to understand it for the first time.
We've taken communications and computing and brought it into everyone's home.
We then made it portable.
We then really miniaturized on this. We have wearable devices.
Now, the next phase is, I wanna become...
I wanna become technology, not use technology.
I want it just to become part of me, so that I have a greater sense of the world.
It makes complete sense to me.
And how do you feel, about me not following your journey?
100% you'll be a cyborg.
You're just not ready yet.
The very, very first differences that we found
is that I am all for using the senses we have.
And I think, we don't use our senses well as humans.
You know, where... where everything is... is... there's too many sounds,
too much to see, so many smells. Especially if you live in a city.
We are overwhelmed by information,
and we filter through, and we don't really...
focus on things and that's what I... actually like to do,
is to focus on one thing.
I'd like to sit by the beach, and dunno smell...
close my eyes, smell the sea.
He's like...
He's so past that.
He's just, like, with the new senses so...
I don't know. I do it alone.
This isn't about... body modification.
It's not about expressing myself to others.
This is about mind modification
and something deeply personal that I'm doing to myself.
It has nothing to do with others.
It's not a... it's not a fashion statement. It's not a...
statement of who I am as a person.
It's something personal that only I will experience.
Tomorrow morning, Scott is going to insert these two anchors in his chest.
despite having a massive fear of a needle.
After these have healed, he will have this thing here.
And he will finally be able to feel the magnetic field of the planet
every time he is facing North,
Off we go.
Oh, oh, come on.
Oh.
This is what a cyborg needs to suffer.
Just a second, I'll take everything.
Amore.
Amore, you have to man up the camera is there.
So how long did the process take?
- You put it in... - Then the piercing itself?
Yeah.
Each one, it might not be any longer than ten seconds.
Ok, good.
Take a seat on the couch, right? And relax.
Why is the camera shaking?
- Because you're scared. - Yeah, well.
It's, uh... it's scary stuff.
- I'm a little concerned. - About what?
You stink? Amore, amore. It's just...
It's your smell.
When you get nervous and start...
Ok, don't come and feel my nose.
What? What are you doing?
- This is gonna feel... feel-- - Nope, nope.
It's the... it's the smell of, uh, panic.
This is not a painful area to pierce needle, ok?
But I need, like, 15 seconds... 20 seconds to just relax.
I said, I don't want you to film it.
Ok, I'm not going to.
Well, if you put this on,
this already shows that I have not given my consent
- for this filming.
- Show me. - But, uh...
Oh, wow. Oh, it looks so weird.
Oh, it's fine. I see it.
It's crazy to imagine that I just did that.
I have to say.
I explain you the aftercare. I give you the saline solution. - Ok.
- And that should do it. - Susanna, I need you to pay
super close attention to this next bit.
- Which bit? - That he's gonna show me. It's all the cleaning.
Ok, but I'm gonna switch off the camera.
- You have to pay attention. - I'm gonna pay attention.
- But I want her to listen. - Thank you. Gracias.
Did he surprise you when you knew he was going to become a cyborg?
No, no, 'cause he's all about the future.
He's all about, like, technology.
Not at all. It seems like the most natural development from how I know him.
He's already was a cyborg.
Um... er...
A man who's so dedicated to what the future can bring
that, you know, for him it's like... I said he's unsentimental,
but, I mean, I don't think I've met anybody who has...
absolutely no nostalgia about anything.
What would you say is different between me and Scott?
He's so business and serious
and, I mean, you are too,
but in a different way. You are more relaxed and more creative and more...
I would almost say, Scott is made up entirely of straight lines
and you're made up of messed up lines.
I think that he enjoys thinking about the future all the time, like,
it's almost like he lives in the future, and not so much here.
- Mm-hmm. - Um...
So, and I think that's just... um, you know, sometimes I wonder
if there's a little bit of escapism in it,
because this world is uncomfortable.
It was for his fiftieth birthday.
And I collected his, uh...
all of his things from his family... and friends.
Super cute.
Sisters, mom.
Hold on, maybe, we should go...
I think... everyone that I asked photos for this
was way more impressed with the effort than Scott.
Scott is, like, he gets emotional for maybe...
a split second.
'Oh, yeah, this is lovely.' 'Oh, yeah, thanks.'
And that's it.
This was a nice present.

and artificial intelligence in music.
Would you like me to continue?
I'm turnin' cook.
- 'Cause I have a flight. - Where are you going?
Dubai.
- And then? - Then I go to Ramallah.
Tel Aviv.
And then I'm back.
Some raisins.
Biology is brutal
and it arms species with exactly enough
for them to survive, not much more.
It makes sense that now we wanna sense other things in our environment.
I'm doing it, not because it's extreme, but because it should be...
natural, and it should be normal and average
that in ten or fifteen years we don't look at this
as an extreme step, we look at it like it was a big deal.
Yeah, now I'm more comfortable with it, and I have no problems,
and, actually, I was thinkin' I really admire you.
I'm lookin' at you with admiration and...
curiosity.
But, uh, at first, it's like...
It's a bit like if you say you took a new job,
and you're gonna be on the ocean without seeing me for five years.
I don't know, it was something radical
You took a radical new direction.
and...
I didn't.
My only fear is that...
It doesn't actually work.
That... I feel some buzzing in my chest,
but nothing changes in my life.
That actually would be the fear.
That's the only part. I'm not worried about...
anything else.
other than telling my parents.
Yeah.
Try not to lean backwards, so when you push don't really push yourself.
Here goes.
- That's it? - Yeah.
That's crazy.
Everything that we created,
we created because we have senses.
Without our sense, we are just a brain in a box.
Now think about it, if you have more senses now.
I pull a compass out of my pocket and I know what direction I'm facing.
That's what a tool is. It's something you use when you need it.
But a sense, a sense is always on.
Always getting a steady stream of information.
Raw data, that your brain then processes and figures out what to do with.
Crazy, uh...
It's great to see you do the North Sense dance.
- Is it vibrating? - Yeah, every time.
There's North.
And even now, if I go like this spin myself around...
Woah. I'm super dizzy,
but I know where North is.
- Crazy. - Come here. Show it to me.
No, here. Stop.
Amore, stop.
Put your finger on it.
Do you find it really hard to put on your coat? - Oh, it's painful.
'Cause we went and worked out yesterday.
And that just makes it hurt.
Oh.
Security was a breeze.
Are you excited to show it to my parents?
Yes. Mine, no. Yours, yes.
Ok. I think, we will have some nice footage from the holidays.
Where is North now by the way?
Right there.
I don't know. This is kind of my new motion to just...
'Cause you feel the buzzing, but when you push here,
it somehow just makes it a little more intense.
Um...
So, I notice every time I walk into a new space.
I just gotta make sure I know where things are.
So, North is... is here.
Now, um...
So, yeah, I start to remember rooms...
and spaces differently.
That... that... that's something I never considered.
You think your parents forgot I had the North Sense put on?
- No. - They haven't asked me once.
Yeah, well we were kind of busy with Christmas celebrations.
No, but did they forget or are they just blocking it out?
I mean, do they remember and then they won't bring it up?
I don't know because they didn't bring it up.
- But I think-- - In any case, don't say anything to them
until this rash... clears up.
Or the flesh eating disease.
Oooh, God.
- Yeah. - Yeah.
- Ok. - That's painful.
But, I think they will be interested.
- Well, we'll see. - Yeah.
Did you have a nice Christmas? - Yeah.
How is Christmas for a Jewish boy?
Lonely.
In this Catholic country? - Lonely.
You know, for the whole...
- Oh, ow... - For the whole holiday
I had to explain to people, actually, I had to lie to people
and tell them that you had a problem with your shoulder.
'Cause it pains you so much. Ok, all done. All done. -
- Help. - I'm coming.
Hello, it is Tuesday, the 17th of January,
Gareth Mitchell here, proudly delivering you this week's Click podcast.
We're going to meet two people who have extrasensory powers.
They're not like the rest of us, because they have...
well, they have a sixth sense.
Alongside being ale to see and hear and all that,
they can sense--
So what, shall I--
Mm-hm.
Where are you?
Well, let's start with this. I know I'm facing South.
How do I know? Because I buzz when I'm facing this way. -
Which also is the Meridian. Western hemisphere there,
Eastern hemisphere there.
But I have to say
I'm leaving it, I took it off now,
so that I could...
let this heal a bit, 'cause it's constantly pulling on it.
- Mm-hmm. - And it feels a bit naked. You know, when you walk around
if you take your contact lenses out and you're kinda walkin' around.
So you don't like walking around without it?
I hate walking around without it now.
This is my life right now.
It's all about the North Sense.
Scott?
- Susanna? - What day is today?
- April 13th. - Which is?
My birthday.
And it is your first birthday as a...
No, my cyborg birthday's December 14th.
Oh, ok. Now you have two birthdays.
- Yeah, exactly. Yes, exactly. - Ok, ok.
Do you want to tell me what's happening with your...
cyborg sense.
Oh, you don't want to, do you?
Well...
I'm getting some rejection from the... anchors.
It's quite painful.
- Yeah. - See what happened was, uh...
It wasn't very clear. I need to see it again.
You need to pull this a little lower.
Ooh.
- Yeah. - Sometimes, I still think it's a little childish.
- What's childish? - I know it's not childish but...
It's the most adult thing I've ever done.
Yeah, maybe. I do think, sometimes, it's a little selfish.
How is it selfish?
'Cause you focus so much on...
this...
thing, and how you feel, and where you are,
and every time... and last night...
It's like you're focusing on color, and sound and sight
Oh, come on. Last night, I just by mistake,
I... sat on the sofa, and I sat on the thing that was chargin',
and it was all a big flip out.
It's too much. You've got this, you've got this.
What next?
Well, I've, uh, an iPhone.
Wait till I put on my...
Start walking around town with a virtual reality headset on.
Can't wait.
What's happening right now, is that, because of attaching the North sense,
he's in pain, so this area has become a no-go-zone.
So if I get any instinct in the last months,
every time I got an instinct of diving in for a hug
um, I always stop myself.
And in the last month, I felt a little strange,
a little lonely, a little sad.
And I think,
it is because I don't get the same physical contact
I used to get before.
There is a lot of focus on the sense, on the...
on taking care of this thingy.
It's like having had a surgery but it's a choice.
I'll just try and go up and give him a hug,
and show you how he doesn't like to be hugged with his North Sense.
Ah!
What are you doing?
You're crazy, I heard you come in.
- Careful. - Oi, come on.
Come on.
No?
Come on.
- Does it hurt? - Yeah.
Always.
I mean, this has been since day one,
when you see me and I start rocking around.
I mean, there's kind of a behavioral change.
Doesn't it bother you at all
that we can't really hug or anything like that?
- We can kiss. - We can't hug.
- We can touch. - I asked the question, I demand an answer.
We can hug, as long as you don't hug me in this area.
Yeah.
We can't hug. I can hug your leg if I want to.
Does it bother you that the way you have to hug me is in a more gentle fashion?
I can't even come close.
It bothers me, by the way.
Well, you can come close. How close do you wanna get?
How was your trip?
Great.
Gimme a kiss.
I haven't seen you forever.
Well...
What did you eat?
Uh, a Bulgarian...
thing, I don't know what it's called 'cause I don't speak Bulgarian.
I'd like a hug.
Gimme a hug.
Why are you going all to the side?
'Cause... what, oh God.
So, why are you hugging me sideways in a bizzaro way?
So it doesn't hurt.
And it does anyway.
I don't wanna do this now, bubbie.
Alright.
When do you ever want to do the documentary?
- I don't. - Never ever?
No. Alright, let's go to the beach.
Where is North?
Of course, it is. I knew that.
- Well, I felt it. - You felt it, excellent.
Hey, Mr. Cyborg.
What did you just ask me?
If you're prepared to become a mind clone.
Are you ready to die?
- No. - Or do you wanna live longer?
- I want to live longer. - What if you can't live longer,
because your body is failing you,
but you could put your mind somewhere else?
Your memories, your thoughts, your experiences, your hopes, your dreams...
your motivation and create new memories,
but you'd have to leave your old body. Would you do it?
I think so, but...
how can you leave...
Don't worry about the technical part.
If it was technically possible...
No, it's not the technical. What I enjoy about being human is the ability of... to...
travel, and eat, and drink, and be with friends, and discover new worlds,
and interact with other humans. That's what I really enjoy about being human.
- Right. - So if my... whole mind and being...
Of course, it could travel.
It probably could travel a lot easier.
How do we love as a new form?
We love the same way.
We love with our feelings and our emotions.
We don't love because of physical touch,
- I think-- - But it doesn't mean
that we can't experience physical touch.
We can absolutely recreate physical touch.
There's people now with bionic limbs.
And we're...
we're creating haptic feedback so that they feel touch.
Remember, all... all the senses are created in your mind.
They're not physical.
It's an electric impulse
and your mind decides what it means,
so touching another human can happen without you having your existing body.
The larger point of all this is, whatever you think I'm doing with creating new senses
and attaching the North Sense to my chest,
this is so basic and nothing
that it shouldn't be shocking.
Wh--this is the first baby step on a much longer journey
that I intend to take.
I'm not going anywhere. This is step one.
Baby step one.
So, just a quick one.
While Scott is away.
So having this North Sense is not doing it for being at the beach.
He can't go into the water, he can't do this, he can't do that.
So from a couple's perspective,
it's really annoying.
Things that I like to enjoy, like a sunset and swimming,
and things to do together, here he is, coming back.
Ok, for you ladies, yeah.
♪ What's up with men and woman these days? ♪
♪ What up with men and woman these days? ♪
♪ Seems like we're always on a different page ♪
♪ There's no meaning for tonight ♪
♪ Love is out of sight ♪
♪ It's not about being... ♪
Scott, but do you feel like this every day?
I don't know, no, no. It's...
It's like this is a reminder of it.
You're in this moment and then you feel that.
You know, like... like before the 1960s
nobody knew what planet earth looked like
there had been no photograph or video of it.
and finally we have our first shot of...
of it. And so, in a weird way,
by standing here and getting reminded of this
you feel like, I can actually feel the planet.
I can feel it. Like, I'm on it. I get it.
I'm really impressed, because during the 12 years of our relationship,
this might be the deepest moment we shared.
Like in connection with nature, or like...
yeah.
Yeah, it is. Don't you think so?
Well, yeah I guess.
Alright, so I just bought a book which is called The Singularity is Near,
which is not exactly the kind of book I like to read,
but is what Scott used as inspiration, I suppose.
I mean, I really don't know but he mentions this book a lot,
and I thought that if I have to understand this journey,
I should probably read this book.
- Scott. - What?
I just wanted to show you my most recent purchase.
But, why did you get the paper version? It's already on the Kindle.
It doesn't make any sense. We have it.
- I know, but... - Return it.
- No... - Yes. Return it immediately.
I, absolutely, am not going to return it.
- We have it. It's on Kindle. - I need a paper version.
Because I can't really read on Kindle.
- Everyone can read on Kindle. - You know actually--
Do you know what letters are and words?
Then you can read.
'What then is the singularity?
It is a future period
during which the pace of technological change will be so rapid,
its impact so deep, that human life will be irreversibly transformed.'
Ray Kurzweil.
So who's good at filming?
Alright, I'll just hand you this phone.
- Yeah. - And you just turn it around
- Ok. - And I'll just say something.
- Oh, ok. I can do that. - I'm working on a project.
Working on this next project...
So, I'm kind of freaking out,
'cause next week we're going to New York,
and Virginia to see Scott's family
- and, um... - Susanna?
- Yes. - Where are you hiding?
I'm here.
I'm here, I'm just filming my documentary. - Hello.
We're going to block the next scene. - Alright.
Scott, what is going on there?
- Going on where? - On your chest.
Nothing.
I'm still in bed and it's, like, the weirdest angle ever.
What's going on there? What's that star?
It's extra support.
'cause the anchors are rejecting.
- Oh, God. - And it's quite painful, and pulling, so I have to
- add some tape just to kinda... - This is second time around.
Uh, yeah. So I'll have to do it a third time now.
- Don't tell anyone. - Did you shave your chest?
I have. If I didn't shave my chest, the tape doesn't stick.
Hello, Nancy.
Nothing, we just finished dinner.
We're flying to New York tomorrow.
Ok, but that wasn't what the message said.
- I didn't read the message. - I sent her a message
that we have something to tell her.
- Oh. - You said an emergency, or something important.
- You said emergency? - I just said that so you would pick up the phone.
Oh, goodness.
No, it's somethin' important.
We're bringing another person with us.
And who might that be?
That person is a producer
because we are making a documentary about Scott
and, uh, his life, and so I need to follow Scott home for Thanksgiving
and put it in the documentary.
What?
Are you ready to sign wavers?
Can't you just be pregnant?
So this is super exciting now.
Finally, we're going to tell your parents
what you've been doing for, like, a year.
Uh... not so exciting.
It's scary actually.
I know. I know what you mean. Oh, my gosh,
so dark on this take.
So Scott's family is very traditi--
well, it's not very traditional, but they're Jews.
So in Judaism, you don't do tattoos,
you don't do piercings, you don't alter your body.
There's no body modification at all.
Although, they're not religious, they are culturally Jewish
and no on has had a tattoo in this family.
What do you think your mom's going to say?
"Oh, please tell me this is not real."
- Hi! - How are you?
- Good, how are you? - Good.
- Welcome. - Somebody knows me here.
Mr. Cohen, I think. Quite a famous guy.
L'Chaim!
It's Chris.
- Hello? - Hello, father?
Yeah, come on up.
Hello.
It's a great view.
So what I need to find out?
Do you know what Scott's working on?
- I... - What he's working on?
Yeah. 'Cause I was saying', you know,
this is like about him and his job and our relationship
and then I realized that I don't think...
Wait a minute. Is the relationship ok?
Our relationship? Now, yes.
What do you mean, now?
What do you mean, "Now, yes?"
- What does that mean? - What does that mean?
In the summer you were so busy.
Oh, so you was just gone a lot?
Yeah, well, no...
He's not even traveling, you were so busy working, working, working.
Thinking, thinking, thinking.
Well, that's how you make money, money, money.
He's selling a new device.
- He's what? - Selling a metaphysical device.
- A med physical device? - Yeah.
I mean, he'll tell you.
Yeah, come on Scottie.
- Scott, my name - Scott is a cyborg.
- Scott became a what? - A cyborg.
- A cyborg? - Yeah.
What the heck is a psyche board? -
What?
Last December
I had two titanium rods put into my chest.
Stop it.
- Stop it. - Sure.
And as it created an anchoring system and I attached a circuit board.
Oh, stop telling me these ridiculous things.
Ok.
You are afraid of the needle, you wouldn't do anything like that.
What, are you insane?
Oh, my God, have mercy.
How much does this cost?
It's always about money.
No. And how many people do you think you're gonna want invasive surgeries?
How many of these people would buy a tattoo?
And you're crazy, 'cause they're new. I think, it's interesting.
I'm looking for a benefit.
And I'm lookin' for how it would contribute
to quality of life.
Your dad was so good about it though.
He got it immediately.
Well, he knew about it but he didn't get it till...
I think, maybe, tonight. It made sense to him. He didn't seem so...
I don't think you realize how emotionally draining that was.
It was even for me, I got a belly ache.
Yeah, exactly.
I'm gonna leave you right now with a couple of questions.
In this era of artificial intelligence and machine learning,
mobile phones, and computers, and everything like that,
why are we investing so much time, effort, and money
to make our phones smarter?
And to make our homes smarter?
To make a fucking drone smarter?
Why aren't we investing the same time
effort, and money into making humans smarter?
Thank you very much.
So, I came to see you at your office today.
- Yeah. - You just taught me block chain.
- Yeah. - And now I'm trying to teach you about feelings.
Well, I taught you block chain, did you learn block chain?
No. So what did you say about these two questions I've written here?
Why would we want to live forever? What would be the meaning of life?
Well, first, there is no meaning of life. What's the meaning of rock?
- Oh, God. - There's a rock. What's the meaning?
There is no meaning of life.
Men want to give meaning to life.
What about women?
- Humans want to giv-- - No they don't. They're just being silly.
There is no meaning of life.
There's no meaning.
What was the other question? Why would we want to live forever?
That's also a silly question.
Why would there ever be an endpoint?
Why would you want to say,
alright , at 83 that's enough years to live?
I think, sometimes, people get tired of living.
No, I think, sometimes people get...
physically tired because their body's breaking down in one way or another.
But if... but if you remain perfectly healthy, mind and body...
Why would you wanna stop?
Why would you wanna flip the switch?
What are you doing?
Just charging up, and, uh... Northy.
It's weird in this new position.
It's the first time... Is it the first time that you wear it there?
- Yeah. - Really?
You've never worn it in your new position?
Not since I took the other ones out. - Oh, my God.
How does it feel?
- Weird. - Does it feel weird?
Yeah. I don't like it there as much.
Well, maybe, it's just a matter of habit.
Yeah, well. Yeah.
I've had these... so long.
"Still human? Some observers refer to
the post-Singularity period as 'posthuman'
and refer to the anticipation of this period as posthumanism.
However, to me being human means being part of a civilization
that seeks to extend its boundaries."
Ray Kurzweil.
It feels like a pretty grand moment.
Well, it's not done.
It's... it's a work in progress.
No, I get it. I'm just saying it's a grand moment
because I don't know... what it is. - I'll tell you...
Alright, I'll tell you what we're working on.
Is that it?
All would fit in this.
Oh, wow.
If goes well. We're just beginning the...
very beginning tests. It's all super secret.
Imagine, that it plugs into something, like...
I don't know, like, Google Maps. So, instead of walking down the street
staring at my phone tryin' to figure out where to go,
I'm just getting subtle, you know, kind of impulses.
That are telling me what direction to go.
so I'm never looking down. It's like head up, just walking, and just feeling it.
And you want to put it on your forehead.
Well, let's see what Livio says, but yeah,
I'd love to put it right there.
If I think about it, uh, seriously...
I am... I get really scared.
It's something that has never been done before,
it's gonna be connected to his phone, which I have no idea what it actually means
as I'm, really... I understand nothing about technology.
But all of these...
these kind of, waves and... and then... um...
I don't know. I don't know what I'm sure about.
I just think it's freaky and scary
and it's going to be a whole new journey that now we need to take.
- Why is this so difficult? - It scares me.
Nothing changes, everything's the same.
Absolutely nothing changes.
What's different?
If you add a sense to you body, it's different.
You perceive the world differently, you do things differently.
Other than those two things, everything's the same.
Those are kind of like massive things.
And... it adds... a layer of...
- kind of narcissism 'cause--- - Narcissism, no. No, it does not add a layer of narcissism.
Yeah, of self involvement.
No, it doesn't.
- I do think so. - I know, but that means your narcissistic.
Do you actually feel that we experience the world differently?
Yes.
Can you give me an example? We never discussed it in, like, two years.
- You never asked me. - That is true.
You know, it's like if...
if both of us can see...
- Mm-hmm. - ...but one of us sees in black and white
- and one sees in color... - Mm.
...you just have kind of a... a richer experience of things.
It would be like walking into a room and not looking around.
- Yeah, I get it. - Why would you keep your eyes closed?
So I walk in the room and I go like that, and you get upset with me.
That's the difference. That's exactly my point.
The empathy thing. I can't empathize with it because I don't experience it.
I'm concerned about this, because the more he goes down this road,
the more different he will become... to me, and...
our differences in the way we see the world
will be bigger, and bigger, and bigger,
and...
and I'm really terrified that that is not gonna be,
uh...
that it's not gonna make us stay together.
Um...
unless I take that journey, too.
So what are you doin' again?
Getting in another 10,000 steps.
- In the house? - 9,726.
9,000... How much, sorry?
9,726.
I thought, we were gonna work out in the park
which would have easily coasted to 10, 11, 12,000 but we didn't.
So because of that I now have to catch up now. - Ok.
There's nothing strange about it,
so stop treating it, like it's weird.
You're making me dizzy. - Well, how do you think I feel?
How many steps?
9,823.
Almost there.
It's really hard
because for the last year I've been tormenting myself
with my problem being connected to Scott.
Something happened last summer in Puglia, where I thought
we were being very close when he told me how he felt so connected to Earth,
but it's actually, ironically, we have never been
as disconnected.
'Cause he was seeing, or perceiving things I didn't,
um, and I realized
in our day-to-day life
we're... we are a little bit further apart,
and I wonder if it is just in general,
because when in a couple somebody takes a different path
you always get a disconnection,
or if it is because of cyborgism,
uh, if it is because he added an extra layer
to his sensorial experiences.
So...
so I'm really curious to know
how other people that undergo
body modification, or, uh, self inflicted body modification.
People that do decide to do this for themselves.
How do they relate to other people?
How is their love life?
Can they empathize in the same way to their lovers?
- Hi, hello, hi. Susanna. - Hi, nice to see you.
I really feel, what we're doing now
is a little bit dangerous, but...
it's actually doing some science.
and we're actually gonna change the way people think, I hope.
This is what I had implanted.
Very, very small. There's actually 100 electrodes
and that was fired in to my nervous system
just here, making direct connection,
like putting a plug into a socket.
- Perfect. Each time,
it was one hell of a belt across the thumb area.
It all seemed to go ok in the end. I'm a bit worried at the moment.
about Irana's driving, that's the main problem. -
I'm really curious about the experiment you did with your wife...
- Yes. - ...and, uh, and how that affected your relationship.
If it did at all, which I presume,
and why did you then decide to stop the experiment, as well.
Ok. My wife
was just wired up for a relatively short time
but she had electrodes pushed into her nervous system
which is quite painful and that's how it was. - Yeah.
And the experiment we did together, um...
we electrically linked our nervous systems together.
So my wife had a whole group... was in one place,
she had a whole group of people round her.
I was in another place, I had a group of people round me,
So we hadn't, we couldn't communicate any other way
and they would see her opening and closing her hand
and I was shouting "yes" every time I received a pulse,
which should have corresponded to her closing her hand.
And that worked 100%.
And how long did you keep it for?
She was only connected up for something like 24 hours.
- Ok. - So it was for an experiment.
It was very intimate.
At the end of the experiment,
um, it had been... done it formally, so that everyone could check
and then it was, sort of, we were packing up as it were.
and I got a little dic-dic in my brain
which nobody else knew about.
It was just something my wife... and I said, "Did you go like that afterwards?"
I wasn't sure whether there was something wrong.
And she said "Yeah, no, I went like that."
And, uh, this was a "Wow."
There was just me and her that knew about that little thing,
and I thought, "Yeah, this is what it means."
You know, communicating or having or having contact in that way.
But when you think about it,
when you link your nervous systems together,
it really is... your connecting inside of your body together.
So it's something that really did make us feel very close,
and we still are very close, as though we've got some special relationship,
even though we're not actually connected up. - Yeah.
nervous systems... Sorry... and, you know, go ahead.
I find this so interesting
that him and Scott have this need of exploring the future
and unchartered territories.
They're both pioneers of some sort.
It also made me think that technology doesn't need to be divisive.
I don't know, I guess, it depends who is using it, really.
Um, could be either.
"The concern is that artificial intelligence would take off on its own
and redesign itself at an ever increasing rate.
Humans, who are limited by slow biological evolution,
couldn't compete and would be superseded.
And in the future artificial intelligence could develop a will of its own."
Stephen Hawking.
Just a very brief diary
because, um, tomorrow I'm going to Italy,
and, um, I'm going to a wedding in my home town.
And I think I'll finally have a proper talk with my mother
and my father about what Scott's doing.
- Hm... Please, Mom.
Alright.
- Go for it.
Yes, but these aren't--
- Okay, see you later. See you later on.
Oh, amore, I love you very much. - Caref...
Ooh.
- Lovey, stop it. - Nice.
- Ha... - Lovey.
It's so nice to have a husband who is a cyborg.
Here.
Amore.
Did you put your North Sense on?
It's always on, every time I leave the house.
You never have to worry about it.
Ok, I'm not worried.
You know what I noticed recently?
- What? - That you stopped twirling.
I stopped "twirling?" - Yeah.
Yeah, you don't twirl as much.
Maybe, because you make fun of me,
- I don't do it in front of you. - No.
Yeah. Because you make fun of me, I don't do it in front of you.
I don't make fun of you.
You do.
Ok, I'm coming.
"The potential for intelligence in a machine substrate
is vastly greater than in a biological substrate.
Machines have a number of fundamental advantages
which will give them overwhelming superiority.
Biological humans,
even if enhanced, will be outclassed."
So tomorrow, actually, the day after tomorrow.
I'm going to Stokhom, Sweden,
to attend an implantation party.
It is a party where people enter humans,
uh, and then they leave sort of cyborg.
Because the more I study this, and the more I know
about what's happening,
in technology and humans and where we're going with this,
the more I realize, I want to be ahead of the curve.
I don't want to be left behind.
I'm 100% sure, I will be implanting myself with something.
What's your first impression?
What if nothing happens?
It doesn't look like I thought it would be at all.
I thought of that being', like, kind of...
very dark, and everybody in silence,
like at some sort of medieval... I don't know...
Procedure, surgical procedure. I don't know.
This looks like a fun party.
Fun... It doesn't look fun, but it looks like a party.
And they gave me...
a free drink ticket.
Here at the epicenter, we have a principal which is:
It's not enough just to talk about it.
People have to experience it.
You have to live tech in order to understand it,
and, uh, we use, um...
So the point of an implant is that, uh,
you can use it to replace keys and key badges.
Ok, here we go. One, two, three, and we're done.
Exciting!
Happy upgrade.
And also, in a way, Happy New Birthday
because this is your Cyborg Birthday.
And very soon we're going to give you a few cyborg siblings.
And exhale, and we're done.
You can use the implant 50 years, right?
How old are you?
Hi, Susanna.
Hey, there you are. Welcome.
Good to see you.
- Can I touch it? - Yeah, you can.
Oh, my goodness.
- Come to the door. - Yes.
So, for example, I want to open this door. - Yeah.
And I just do like this.
And it opens.
Just my vision for technology... - Yeah.
...I always try to say,
let's put it in people's everyday life.
- Yeah. - What you do. You look for your keys.
- Yes. - You... where is my bus ticket? Yeah?
So since the light is very strong here...
See? I turned the light on in there.
- Oh, my goodness. - You see?
- Yes. - So this is... now the phone is speaking to my implant.
Hello, world.
I'm scared of that injection. It looks so scary.
Yeah, it's a badass needle, but, uh...
I'll be...
Let me tell you, if you have holes in your ears,
No, I don't have, and I'm sweating at the thought.
Most people have tried something, huh?
But let me tell you, it's like a pinch.
- Mm-hm. - Ouch, and it's over.
Yes, yes. Somebody's gotta hold my hand.
- So, your wife. - Hm.
Does she have an implant?
My um... my wife she's skeptical of these things.
She is a natural skeptic. She's a nurse,
and she knows a lot about what can go wrong, if you mess with the body.
First of all, I want to know,
what did she say when you told her, "Oh, you know,
I'm going to implant myself with this thing."
She... She, obviously, thought it was crazy and stupid
- then she was-- - That's a natural wife reaction.
Yeah, it's a natural reaction.
No, I don't expect everyone to--
And what did she... when she felt it, was it, like, a bit...
- No, it's no big deal really. - She liked it?
'Cause, like, Scott's implant sits here, it was really kind of horrible.
That's very different, you can't see this one.
It's not an implant... chunky thing at the beginning was just...
and I couldn't hug him for a long time. - Mh. Mh.
There was no, I couldn't go close...
Really? You just didn't like it.
No, now I think it's super cool
I love everything, but at the beginning, it was really hard.
And, especially, what was really hard,
because Scott's says what he's trying to do is to do mind modification.
I'm super excited to go and see Frederick, my friend Terese's brother
who I comp-- I met completely randomly.
at a party at Terese's house.
And he happens to have a North Sense.
And only 250 people in the world bought the North Sense.
So what are the chances that one of... my best friend's, um, brother has it?
It's so cute.
Little cats paws.
- Oops. - Whoops. Heya.
So why did you buy the North Sense?
I can't quite remember where I heard about it.
I think it was, you know, just, uh,
reading the whole of the internet like I do every night. Uh...
I just went, "Oh, that is exactly what I need."
That you "need"? Not even that you want it, that you need it?
Well, I had this, sort of, blank spot in my brain
where everyone else gets maps or a compass or something like that.
Like, I could not point towards Stockholm right now.
But, and so, do you think it changed the way you perceive the world?
And did you feel more connected to the world?
I did feel more connected to the world, because...
I... I, sort of, I had a better understanding of where I was spatially in it.
So, the world is, maybe, the wrong word, but space.
And you have loads of things. You have magnets in your fingers,
Yeah, I have a magnet in my finger here. - Oh, one?
- And I have... - Does it show?
No, it doesn't show at all. Um...
- Can I touch? - Yeah.
Ah!
Apparently, it's been charged.
- That's dangerous. - No, no, no. I don't know why that happened.
Well, like, if I get a... if I get a magnet like that
because the magnetism of it has slowly faded,
so it's very, very weak nowadays.
Er, but, I mean, it still works like that.
So, it was really nice and so enlightening,
and I really loved the magnet tricks.
And, uh...
And I hope it is gonna be people like him that are gonna embrace this kind of technology,
and move it forward.
So...
yeah, that's it.
And it's so nice with the snow.
I want to make a snow angel.
Little fishies.
- Hey you. - Hey.
- Where is North? - We're heading it.
Actually... oh, I wanted to guess.
So there's no connection, and you are upset?
- Yes, I couldn't calibrate it. - 'Cause you couldn't calibrate.
And you were so nasty.
- Were you nasty? - No.
Were you in a bad mood because you couldn't calibrate your North Sense?
It's frustrating.
Oh, such a pleasant holiday companion.
Don't yell at me.
Why would I yell at you?
I dunno, what you're doin'?
I'm editing a document for the North Sense.
And where are we?
Uh, where are we?
In Livingston, Guatemala.
What did we do before we arrived here?
- We hiked through the jungle. - For how long?
Three and a half hours.
No, it was more. Four hours. And what did we carry in the backpack?
My laptop, so that I could edit this document.
We carried your laptop into the jungle... - Well, first we took
- a boat down river. - Yeah.
No, up river.
Then walked for four hours through the jungle. - Yeah.
Arrived at this seaside town,
because we knew there was a Wi-Fi hotspot at this restaurant.
Dedication.
'Cause you're working.
'Cause I'm workin'.
And this is me just waiting for Scott to finish the work.
So we can go back to our jungle hotel with no internet
and no phone connection.
And I will be carrying his backpack elsewhere tomorrow
if Scott's backpack is needed.
I want to say something.
I'm really trying to concentrate.
I know. Just a second.
We are stuck here anyway because it's windy,
and we can't take the kayak back, so it doesn't matter.
But I wanted to say that I've just read before what you are doing,
and it sounds like a Black Mirror episode.
Like a script for a Black Mirror episode.
It doesn't sound like a real thing.
It sounds...
- You look so upset. - I am, I'm working.
- Honestly. - Ok, work, work.
I had 15 minutes of connection and I had...
- and I forgot what I was... - Ok.
So, is this a magical place where people,
without knowing it, are aligning things North?
I think, the Mayans absolutely knew it.
Yeah, but this was not built by the Mayans this hotel.
Let's see, when we go to Tekal, to see if the Mayans knew it.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, sadly, we're gonna be there with the darkness,
so I can't take videos of it.
It doesn't matter if it's dark for me. -
That's the beauty of North.
Day, or night, it always goes the same direction.
I don't know. I don't know.
I have doubts.
Today, January 2nd,
2019, I have doubts.
I almost got ran over.
- What? - I was just about to send a message.
Ok, sorry.
- Is it a work message? - It doesn't matter.
- Ok.
Another hotel, another charge.
It didn't get charged last night because you...
knocked it with your night...
because you knocked it with your night bag.
Then I have a question for you.
Do you think...
that being in Guatemala for three weeks, we finally re... connected?
We reconnected a little bit, because of all your travel,
and Northy, and all of those things?
'Northy', we call it Northy.
Um...
maybe...
we were a little bit, kind of...
like this.
What do you think?
I've no idea what you're talking about.
- Nothing's changed! - That's a lie.
We were in London, we were in New York.
We're in Guatamala, we're in Joshua Tree,
and nothing changes.
You were in New York by yourself. - Right.
But no, but don't you feel like...
that you're on a journey all of your own,
and then we spend so much time together,
and you are able to share things. -
- What's happened? - You... knocked it...
Are you tired of telling people the story of a cyborg?
Sick and tired of it.
Every friend we met on this journey.
Old, and new friends.
They all want to know about it.
Yeah. I'm tired of talking about it.
And now, every time we go somewhere I have to explain the story.
And if I say a little bit, then they ask questions,
and I have to say more, and then I have to say more,
and the whole conversation turns to that.
That's why I keep it covered up,
shut up, it's nobody else's business
It's only for me.
And you as well.
Um, I'm making a documentary about it.
Hm.
No, you're making a documentary about you. I just happen to be in it.
That is true.
What do you think my documentary is about then?
It's...
that you thought that if I changed myself in some way,
that it would change our relationship in some way.
It did for a year. Like, when I couldn't hug you
at the beginning, it was so hard. - You still can't hug me
- 'Cause it's so painful. - I know, then I think, humans adapt to everything
- and we found new ways. - Yeah, you can hug me on my elbow.
No, no. It was so... it was... oi, so hard the first year. - My elbow.
And we did have some bad moments--
I didn't. You did.
Well, you're unaware, you're so focused on your things.
You don't even realize what's happening.
I'm not unaware.
That is being', like, silly and shallow and... and...
It's not silly and shallow. - It's very shallow.
I'm the deepest person you know. - It's very shallow
to say something like that.
Life is made every day. Even in an hour, people have ups
and downs, and things change constantly. -
So, to say that nothing change is a full-on lie.
- It's not a lie. - You put on... things on your chest
butchered your chest. You are so focused on this thing
and everywhere you go, I now got used to it,
but everywhere we go, it's like...
and... I mean, everything changed.
...is not everything changing.
It's just that I adapted to it.
Great, so then there's no issue.
- Everything-- - End of documentary,
there's no issue.
It's amazing how much you've changed by the way.
Being all adventurous, going out in nature.
You never used to be like that.
You always wanted to be in the office, or in Manhattan.
Don't make me long for those things.
"Hi Chai, I was wondering if you received my previous email."
Da-da-da-da-da.
"I was originally considering the hand chip
But I am now wondering if I should put a magnet in my finger."
Hm...
It's against some of the... the... how you are
as a person because you are...
more about everything being very natural.
- Yeah - But I think, it feels natural in the way that you're now in...
you're working on a project.
And you have curiosity, so, therefore I think in that sense it makes...
In that way it makes sense to me.
"If the whole universe is pegged to the human experience,
what will happen when the human experience becomes just another designable product,
no different in essence than any other item in the supermarket?"
Yuval Noah Harari.
- Good morning, Pelle. - Good morning, Susanna.
Would you like to explain why you are here today?
I am here because I'm gonna be witness and support
when, uh, you... surgically
insert magnets in your hand to get an extra sense.
That's pretty much it, I think.
- How are you Susanna? - I'm shaking.
I really am shaking, I'm been shaking...
I've been shaking all morning, and I've been doing exercises for my mouth
so I could actually speak clearly, because I am so nervous
and I'm sweating, and I...
I do think, maybe, I'm crazy. I don't know.
It's just, like, such a big deal to me.
I mean, here's how I think about situations like this:
No matter how bad it is, it's not gonna take a long time.
How long is it gonna take?
- Um, I don't know. - They haven't told you?
- Some minutes he said. - Yeah, ok, there you go.
It's gonna be terrible minutes, but that's minutes. It's not a terrible year.
It's gonna be over in a few hours.
No, then I will have a magnet in my... but yes, I don't know.
- Oh, God. - I mean, the part you are so scared of is gonna be over
- in a few hours. - Yeah.
- I mean... - I was thinking this one.
I think this one. It's the one you use the least,
but it would have the same effect.
You only need it for feeling things, right? - Yeah.
Feeling magnetic fields.
So I think this one is... that will be my candidate.
Because these fingers, you're gonna use more, if you...
less annoying if you cut a nerve or something. - True.
How big things can you lift with it?
Um, I don't think much.
I think, like, uh, paperclips when no one uses anymore anyway...
and, uh, little needles.
So...
- Well, here we are. - Here we are.
Yeah.
There's a licorice store next door. - Oh, wow.
Afterwards I'll buy you some licorice.
Make you feel better. It's this place.
Ok.
- Hi. Hi, Susanna. - Hi.
- Hi, I'm Chai. - Nice to meet you.
And then he is my hand holder.
- Hej. Hej. - Alright?
- And... - Pelle. - Chai.
And I... you are just, uh... You are having lunch?
- Yeah, exactly. - Ok, you finish your lunch,
and I'll just quietly freak out here.
It's better for everyone.
And we got some music gone on. - Yes.
Oh, my God. I'm so not up for doing this.
- Um... - Um, ok...
- They have a lot of awards. - Which finger are you getting?
- This. - Uh-huh.
- It's gonna feel weird. - What is it?
This is numbing cream.
Great. Everything makes me nervous.
- You just want this? - No, I want you to put the glove on.
Yeah, I was trying to help.
No, you're... you're putting your thumb... -
Put it on your hand.
- Feel it? - No.
- Much, no. - Yeah, you're feeling it.
Press about like that, you see the white. That's where it is.
- Oh, yeah. - This has nothing to do with sensory,
this is just to pick up larger objects.
What can that one pick up then?
... larger objects.
What's the largest? - Uh, like, a teaspoon.
- Proud of you. - Thanks.
I'm not gonna beat around the bush. This is gonna hurt.
Everything we do in this shop hurts, and, uh...
Fine.
In the world's smallest studio. - Ok. Cool.
How long have you been doing this?
I'm so not confident about myself, right now.
Like a syringe in you spine...
I really feel like a massive childish person
bringing my own friend holding my hand.
I'm here.
So, counting fingers.
That's the right finger.
- So, are we good to go? - Mm-hmm.
Perfect.
Ok, so breath easy, and take a deep breath.
- Deep breath, one more. - Think happy thoughts.
Deep breath.
- Exhale. - Fuck.
Breath in.
You're doing great.
Breath.
Ah.
You're being awesome.
I want so much liquorice.
There's a liquorice store next door.
There's all the liquorice you want.
The magnet is in. Now, I'm just gonna put the suture.
You're doing amazing.
I'm relaxed in general that's--
You did well. You're done.
- Sorry. - In hindsight,
you are probably one of the...
best clients I've ever had
because you lied perfectly still. Didn't move anything.
- Cool. Feeling-- - You ok?
Yeah, yeah. I am.
Good job. High five.
No, on that hand. No, I'm kidding. -
There it is.
- I'm feeling... Yeah. - The scar.
So, how do you think he will react?
Mmm...
I... I haven't...
I presume, he'll be surprised.
and then, he...either he will be pleasantly surprised
or he may kind of put it down a lickle... little
like, "Yeah, that's just baby steps."
You know, he does the big stuff and that's... this could be just baby steps.
- Ciao. - Ciao.
- What's behind your back? - Nothing.
Why are you with your hands behind your back? - Nothing.
- What's goin' on? - Nothing.
Welcome home.
- Ciao. - Ciao.
What's on your finger?
- It's a surprise. - What's on your finger?
You wanna see?
Yeah.
- Did you cut yourself? - Yeah.
Well, I didn't actually. Somebody else cut me.
What do you mean somebody cut you? - Hold on.
It's painful.
- What are you doing? - I'm unwrapping the present.
Present. It's not a present.
- Aah. It's a bit... - What did you do to yourself?
- Did you cut yourself? - No, I put a magnet in.
You put a magnet in?
You butchered yourself?
I did. I butchered my fing... It's really dark.
Why would you do something like that?
- There's a magnet in it. - Why would you do something like that?
Because I want to feel other electromagnetic fields.
But you don't.
Do you have one?
- So how are... would you know? - Which way is North?
- How... what... - Which way is North?
- I don't want to do that. I... - Just... just tell me.
- I'm not happy. - Just tell me.
If you can feel it, tell me where it is?
It's not about North. I don't care about North.
Well, South, East, West, tell me any directions.
It's not... I said electromagnetic.
When things have magnets, you'll feel their things.
- Feel what things? - Oh, I... you know perfectly and you're not...
- You're diminishing... - What do you feel?
Why would you do that?
Not the reaction I wanted.
What reaction did you want?
Applause...
- for example. - As it played out in your head, what did you think?
That you'd be happy that I did something like that.
Why?
- Because you do it to yourself. - Why would I be... I've never...
- Show me your chest. - Stop.
You're not the woman I married. - Nope.
- You've changed yourself. - Yes.
Now you're on a different magnetic journey than me.
Yes.
You know what happens
when you put two magnets together.
They repel.
- What? - Your such an asshole.
How amazing you did that I hope you really like it.
Oh, such a great actor.
Ok.
On Instagram you had this thing.
- Ah. - I didn't understand how you went, like... why...
I now realize it is because of this thing
I had a paperclip on my... that I was lifting with my finger
and you didn't know why and now you remember... - Exactly.
...it is because of my...
- magnet. - Yes.
Would you ever do a magnet implant?
Yeah.
- Yeah? - But I don't see why I would do it right now.
I need to find a reason.
There is no reason but to feel something that you don't feel.
Yeah, I have too many anxieties for that. I feel to many things.
It's like I wanna get rid of some things.
Do you feel superior compared to others?
Do you feel you have something more?
- I feel I have a secret... - Alright.
and people don't know, but I forget about it all the time.
Most... I mean, I think 99.9% of the time, I forget I have this magnet.
Do you feel like it's a bit of a super power?
Mm-hmm. I can lift paperclips.
Yeah, this is real.
I understand...
that it is nice to have an extra layer of sensation.
- Yes. - It is nice,
It's like if you're, I don't know, you're constantly eating a meringue
- Or somethin' like that. - Ok.
Ok. How heavy a thing can you lift?
That's it.
Can you lift a beer can?
I guess, they're not that magnetic, if they're aluminum.
No. I can't believe I've done it.
Um...
Yeah, it doesn't really feel like your thing.
No, that's why I want to take it out.
I really...
I'm not interested. I tried. I was curious about...
knowing what people do,
and where it's gonna take us in the future,
but I'll wait for the future.
I don't need to be part of the process. I really realize that, I... it's...
I feel, uh, not vindicated, I don't know what the word is, but I feel... 'cause like
remember I think I told you that, I think you're gonna be underwhelmed.
It's just gonna be, like, a magnet in your finger.
You were all like, no, apparently, you can like sense all these things,
- radio waves, I don't know. - You were right.
- Yep. - You know.
It's quite obvious that you haven't had your North Sense
at the beach this year.
Painfully obvious.
So why are you without your North Sense?
Well, a couple of reasons.
Um...
One, we're workin' on the next version,
and you have to remove the old one to get ready for the new one.
And two,
the titanium rods once again rejected from my body.
And they split 'em out in a painful six month process.
All I can think about right now,
is that since you took the North Sense off...
- Yeah, it's terrible. - No, our relationship has been better,
You're the one with the ups and downs.
- For me, it's been the same. - No, because we hugged,
we cuddled, we had... and you paid more attention to me, and to us.
Mm-hmm... nah, you're reading into it, I think.
No, I'm not reading into it. I'm leavin' it.
There is somethin' I want to ask you...
- Ok. - ...about the things that we discussed today
at the beach.
Yeah?
So you're not scared at all that you may lose a little bit of our...
We're not gonna lose anything.
Mm.
- I'm not convinced. - Well, get convinced. Nothing's changing.
- But it did change. - Alright, so deal with it.
It changes, and we get on with it.
It's whatever life throws at us.
But, no, no, no, no. This is not thrown. It's a choice.
It doesn't matter.
It's still somethin' that happens, and then we just deal with it,
like everything else in the world.
It's not that you lose empathy.
Look, it's like lots of things
where...
a man doesn't know what it's like to be a woman.
You can try and empathize, but unless you're a woman, you can't really empathize.
In fact, we have loads of issues with that.
That's the thing. You're trying to make it a good or bad thing and it's neither.
It's just, this is what it is,
and... then we figure out what to do with whatever it is.
Well, I suppose this is what you choose it to be.
It's not what it is. It's a choice.
Maybe.
- I don't know "maybe." - Nevertheless,
this is what we're gonna deal with.
It's a reluctant choice, but a choice nevertheless.
Why is it a reluctant choice?
'Cause somebody else could've done it first, and dealt with the whole thing.
Do you still strongly believe in it?
- Firmly. - 1000%
This is the future of humanity.
So you better get comfortable, and so we'll figure out...
what the relationship issues are. We'll... we'll... we'll sort it out.
Um,
like... I'll stare at the sunset now.
What is this?
This... is the new North Sense.
This... gets implanted...
Yeah.
This...
will just kind of... hang like a necklace.
I don't know what to say.
How about "congratulations?"
Um, I don't know.
It's exciting, right?
Um...
I don't know.
It seems like a... a joke.
It's like...
No.
What, I don't understand?
It's horrible.
It's horrible. Imagine, if I start to go around with, like, it's like a cow.
It's like a cow bell.
Couldn't you do it prettier?
We could do it together like a...
like a... an after school project.
I know what we're gonna be doing over the Christmas holidays.
If... you let... this piece of technology interfere
- with my interaction with you, - Yes.
- I'll be very angry. - It won't.
- Am I making myself very clear? - It won't.
So when we have sex, do I... is it gonna...
it's going to, like, smash on my face constantly?
Constantly? No.
Not constantly.
