Happy Valentine’s Day to all my loved ones, friends and followers! 💌

I’ve got something exciting to share with you – @oltairworld is dropping a limited-edition Valentine’s Collection which is now officially live on #Roblox 👾

Join me at the OLTAIR Mall Rooftop to snag your exclusive items and let’s spread some love in the metaverse ❤️👽

Our brains are wired to fixate on the negative.

Seeing danger around every corner kept our ancestors alive. But today, this same instinct traps us in a distorted worldview that's far darker than reality.

Yes, we face serious challenges – wars, poverty, inequality – but we're simultaneously living in the most innovative era humanity has ever experienced. The disconnect isn't in the world itself, but in how rigidly we're programmed to perceive it.

What's missing isn't optimism – it's mental flexibility. When we expand our thinking beyond immediate problems to recognize expanding possibilities, we unlock potential that remains invisible to fixed mindsets.

This isn't about forced positivity. It's about developing the capacity to hold multiple truths simultaneously: acknowledging genuine problems while recognizing unprecedented opportunities. It's about thinking bigger – seeing not just what is, but what could be.

I've found that cultivating this flexible perspective transforms how I navigate challenges. Problems become puzzles rather than roadblocks. Setbacks become data points rather than dead ends. The future becomes a space of emerging possibilities rather than looming threats.

I had the privilege of recently meeting Noland Arbaugh, the first person in the world to receive Neuralink’s experimental brain-chip implant.

When I first read about him taking this massive step, bravely volunteering for a technology that no one had tried yet, I was convinced that I wanted to go beyond the media hype and hear his side of the story.

If we could cure aging in the next decade, wouldn’t you want to keep your body in tip-top shape until then?

According to biomedical gerontologist Dr Aubrey de Grey, “there is a 50% chance that we will reach longevity escape velocity (LEV) by 2036,” the point where a person’s lifespan is extended at a higher rate than at which they’re aging.

Last week, I had a microchip implanted into my hand alongside the world-famous robot Sophia.

In the year or so since I first announced that I would be doing this, people have shared all sorts of opinions with me. Some praised my initiative to try a piece of technology that’s still quite novel, while others criticized and outright attacked me. Others didn’t see the point of it.

Today, I will have the privilege of meeting 30-year-old Noland Arbaugh, talking to him personally, listening to his story, and sharing it with the world.

Before I continue, here’s a genuine question: How many of us know the person, Noland Arbaugh, and his story?

I am getting an RFID microchip implanted into my hand on Sunday and here are some common questions I’ve been getting asked from my community.

The United States has given TikTok an ultimatum: either sell the app’s operations in the country to a government-approved American owner within 9-12 months, or face a ban.

These are the conditions set in a bill that US President Joe Biden signed and that has passed in front of the US Senate and House of Representatives this week, a piece of legislation aiming to curb what is perceived as the app's Chinese influence.

“AI will probably be smarter than any human next year,” Elon Musk recently stated.

Prominent futurist Ray Kurzweil’s latest book is titled “The Singularity is Nearer”, and he now predicts AI will achieve human-level intelligence by 2029. Jensen Huang, the founder and CEO of NVIDIA, which has been instrumental in the massive development of AI, agrees on this date too.

Robots used to be a cute novelty for companies, to briefly parade on stage or to greet presidents for public relations purposes. Now, functional, humanoid robots are getting to work.

We’ve certainly seen some circuitry reboots to the robotics space in recent years – Tesla’s Optimus bot, Boston Dynamics’ backflipping parkour sensation Atlas, and the world’s most expressive humanoid robot in Ameca, are ones that quickly come to mind.

My team and I are on a mission to dive deep into the innovations and trends that will play a role in shaping our future - not to merely observe them, but to curiously investigate: Will we live in a world of human augmentation, AI, the metaverse, nanotechnology, life extension, and digital twins? What about the ethics of these technologies, and their potential transformative impact on our society and economy? To learn about how we can elevate the human condition, I myself endeavor to become bigger, better, faster, stronger and smarter, and do what I can to become a superhuman…

When you ask people to imagine what they want the future to look like, everybody has different answers. When you take into consideration the various concerns of people of different genders, health conditions, financial and social standings, and cultural backgrounds, you are left with a wonderful, infinitely colorful tapestry of possibilities. So we can ensure our future is created for us all, and without bias, we need to turn to the business world. Let’s investigate…
