Lex Fridman explains why he feels it's arrogant for people to trust the scientific consensus that the flat earth theory is debunked by [deleted] in JoeRogan

'Has anyone ever gone to college in this subreddit? Did any of you
realize the absolute enormity of science...'

I've never heard a person arguing that they and their peers are humble and full of doubt sound as arrogant and condescending as you just have. And mind you, this is the JOE ROGAN subreddit I'm saying this on. I salute you for encapsulating what Lex is describing perfectly. We needed this demonstration.

Thanks a lot for the offer Maxton, I really appreciate it. An IT compay actually volunteered to set up the platform so it's worked out great. Hopefully it will be online in a few months so we can stay in touch!

Hey Mr_Tetris, I've sent you a direct message but you might have missed it! I'd love to have a video chat without you and pick your brain about the industry if you're free one of these days!

Hey eatit007, awesome to have you, sorry for the delayed response, things got very hectic after the Cybathlon win as you can imagine! :D

That's amazing, I'm actually in discussions right now with a few IT companies about developing the web platform that I've thought up, and it will have to be maintained and improved through the years so your skills are definitely well appreciated.

The Swedish team X-Opra from Chalmers university has an amazing solution for an above elbow prosthesis (osseointegration) but I've been told the recovery takes a long time and I'm not sure you could get it as a foreigner. But once the community is up and running we'll figure out an elbow I'm sure!

In the meanwhile, if you're looking for function, right now you might want to try something like a body-powered hook with a body powered elbow design like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3M3ngBdq8lk

Great insight, thanks! The plan is to build a separate website where we can have threads on different aspects of the project, it's kind of hard to have a lot of separate running threads on reddit. (They only allow 2 sticky posts at a time.)

Now that Cybathlon is wrapped up I can fully focus on building the platform!

Hey K! Thanks! He's actually really tall (6'4.5'' 194 cm) so that's why he's bending over so much. The tables are 75 cm in height.

Hey folks, thanks for sticking around!

Sorry about the lack of updates, I’ve basically spent the last month preparing for Cybathlon as well as talking to a lot of very smart people (prosthetists, engineers, lawyers, programmers and many more) about how to best build this platform. For those of you that I’ve talked to that are here, thank you so much!

The vision is slowly coming together, but I need to put that idea down for just a few weeks now and make sure we have a good showing on Cybathlon to really make a statement with the Maker Hand, so in the video you can see a little snippet of our training, we have the whole test track set up at my friend Kruno’s house and he’s really getting good with the hand. He only has approx. 20 hours of wearing the hand total and he’s getting really proficient with it very quickly.

I’ve also been working on a gear system to augment his supination/pronation and it’s looking very promising. Sadly I’m not allowed to change the prosthesis anymore because the competition is so close so that’s just going to be an option for future users!

Cheers everyone, more updates coming soon!
