Crazy Until It's Not: Startups, Venture Capital & Big Ideas

Digital JPEGs selling for millions of dollars; machines that turn thin air into food; people buying a McDonald's with Bitcoin; an AI program that can replace illustrators; psychedelics being prescribed by doctors. What do these ideas have in common? They were all completely crazy notions until, one day, before most people had even heard of them, they were part of our world. So what’s next? “Crazy until it’s not” is a podcast by firstminute capital where we talk with tech visionaries about their predictions for the future — ideas that may seem crazy today but could be part of daily life tomorrow. We ask each guest to come onto the show with one big, bold and non-obvious vision for the next five years as a jumping-off point for debate about how the world will be tomorrow. Previous guests on the firstminute capital podcast include Tony Blair, David Bonderman, Roelof Boetha, Max & Nellie Levchin, Jeff Immelt, Rio Ferdinand, Sir Hermann Hauser, Nico Rosberg and Niklas Zennstrom.

🔗 Humans, Connected: The Age of the Exocortex

🌐 Imagine a world where you’re seamlessly connected to the internet, not through screens and keyboards, but directly through your brain.

Our minds are already a marvel of evolution, with three layers:

Reptilian Brain: The ancient core responsible for keeping us alive by regulating basic functions like breathing.
Mammalian (Limbic) Brain: The “monkey brain,” managing emotions like fear and excitement.
Neocortex: Our human layer, dedicated to logic, reason, and creativity.

✨ Enter the Exocortex—a revolutionary fourth layer. Soon, we’ll be able to read and write information directly to our brains, allowing seamless integration with the internet. 🧠

Imagine this: You’re able to remember scenes from a movie you've never seen before because your Exocortex looked it up and now it feels as real as any personal memory.

🎥 Your imagination becomes your reality.

📚 Forgot what you read in a book? Your Exocortex retrieves it in an instant.

🌍 Curious about global events? The Exocortex brings you firsthand insights as if you were there.

The boundaries between “you” and the world’s knowledge will blur. The Exocortex won’t just connect us to the internet; it will be the internet.

The future isn’t just at our fingertips—it’s in our minds.

🔌 Are you ready for the Exocortex era?
