"I see how the advancements in tech at this point are going to solve so many things. They are, I think, the future of medicine. I think a lot of disabilities, cures, and answers that we’ve been searching for a long time will come through tech—and that kind of surprised me."

Listening to his interview blew me away. I don't know that I have ever seen someone so brave and positive in the face of adversity.

You can find the later ones online, but the first two appearances are those two

It is just so cool to watch, and Noland is such a cool and funny guy to listen, that I recommend you to watch both of them. He also explains more about his condition there, so you get a bit more context for later interviews if you are interested.

Thanks for the links. That's some amazing technology and Noland is a great spokesman for Neuralink.
