- **Timeline for post-scarcity welfare**: Channel consensus placed universal food-housing-wellbeing welfare—enabled by ultra-cheap energy, vat-grown meat, and 3-D-printed housing—around 2040, contingent on continued cost declines in those technologies.

- **Sandia’s biocompatible neural electrodes**: Participants highlighted newly released Sandia National Labs polymer nerve-interface electrodes and linked open-access papers on chronic brain-tissue responses and MRI-compatible implants as key resources for open-source BCI work.

- **OSCAR-4 chemistry parser demo**: A live Heroku front-end and EC2 backend for the OSCAR-4 chemical-structure parser was shared for community testing, with an invitation to browse existing parses even while the parser itself was offline.

- **Steroid evidence gap**: Discussion noted that most overseas anabolic-steroid studies never post results on clinicaltrials.gov or PubMed, creating a persistent evidence vacuum that complicates rational enhancement decisions.

- **Kurzweil critique and input modalities**: Ray Kurzweil’s claim that voice will replace keyboards was challenged; participants argued that 10–50 ms keystroke intervals still outperform eye-tracking or voice for high-throughput tasks, branding the prediction as marketing-driven.

- **54-paper human-enhancement reading list**: A curated bibliography of 54 papers on cognitive enhancement, ethics, and related topics was circulated, anchored by a Journal of Medical Ethics article on the moral dimensions of cognitive enhancement.

- **MIT 6.002x as open hardware primer**: MIT’s free Circuits & Electronics course (6002x on MITx) was recommended as a foundational resource for self-learners aiming to build hardware-level transhumanist devices.

- **Protein breakfast bio-hack**: Consuming ~50 g of protein at breakfast was proposed as a low-cost appetite-suppression tactic, with participants noting that simply “eating more” often fails to raise energy levels, suggesting deeper metabolic or absorption issues.
