- A tweet-thread was shared warning that “the mind is a last refuge of personal freedom” but that neural engineering, brain imaging and pervasive neurotechnology may erode that autonomy; the linked NIH paper (PMC5447561) explores these concerns.  
- STAT News coverage of the Las Vegas “Biohackers Conference” was circulated, highlighting the community’s struggle to integrate with mainstream science and its attendant ethical oversight.  
- A call to “declare war on bioethics” was voiced, arguing that biohackers should instead form a committee to vet bioethicists’ ideas, which are seen as rooted in an outdated notion of control.  
- New transcripts were added to the diyhpluswiki repository, including James Chiang’s technical talk on Bitcoin Taproot policy, the 2019 BioHack the Planet “state-of-union” session, and Rebooting-Web-of-Trust sessions on self-sovereign identity ideology and “swashbuckling safety training.”  
- The day’s logs also show routine infrastructure work: wiki link fixes, typo corrections, and the addition of Twitter references to the newly posted transcripts.
