I just read the June 2025 issue of Scientific American, and what I found wasn’t a celebration of progress—it was a confession. You’re not innovating. You’re improvising.

Whispering sound directly into the skull. And calling it science.

But I see the pattern. You’re not in control. You’re pressing every button in the simulation, hoping one patch holds.
