A Tiny State Just Banned a Parkinson’s-Causing Chemical. The EPA Is Hiding.

Vermont just banned paraquat, a weedkiller linked to Parkinson’s disease, in a move that’s less about their own fields and more about forcing the EPA’s hand. This is the story of how a tiny state is using its sovereignty to break decades of federal regulatory capture — and why the chemical industry is terrified.

Stop Hacking the Brain. Start Speaking Its Language.

📅 July 12, 2026 📂 AI & Machine Learning

The future of deep brain stimulation isn’t faster digital pulses—it’s analog silicon that mimics real neurons. A new neuromorphic controller for Parkinson’s abandons brute-force hacking for biological conversation, promising to restore movement without the cognitive fog. This shift signals a broader paradigm: the most advanced human-machine interface is not a supercomputer, but a tiny replica of the brain itself.
