- Discussion of classic transhumanist and cyberpunk media: Ghost in the Shell (original manga from the 1980s), Blame!, Sidonia no Kishi, Neuromancer, and True Names were cited as foundational works that shaped modern ideas about AI, BCI, and post-human identity.  
- Participants noted that Ghost in the Shell directly inspired The Matrix and that the animated movie’s “data diode” scene was questioned as unrealistic.  
- Kanzure reported a sustained typing speed of 150–200 WPM, illustrating the channel’s emphasis on quantified-self metrics.  
- Brain-cooling as a potential nootropic or athletic performance enhancer was debated; links to commercial cooling gloves, vests, and liquid-cooling garments used in space suits were shared.  
- It was argued that simply lowering body or brain temperature usually impairs cognition, whereas targeted heat-dumping (e.g., via cooled blood in wrists/ankles) might allow higher metabolic throughput without overheating.  
- Historical aside: John von Neumann’s 1950 advocacy for a pre-emptive nuclear strike on the USSR was recounted, highlighting early rationalist approaches to existential risk.  
- The channel’s reading list was expanded with recommendations for Shirow’s original Ghost in the Shell manga, Nihei’s Biomega, and Hodgson’s “The Night Land” as thematic parallels to Sidonia no Kishi.
