#183 Dr. Ben Carson - Neuralink, God’s Hand in Neuroscience and Human Consciousness
Dr. Ben Carson is an American retired neurosurgeon, author, and politician who served as the 17th United States Secretary of Housing and Urban Development from 2017 to 2021. As a pioneering pediatric neurosurgeon at Johns Hopkins Hospital, Carson performed groundbreaking surgeries, including the first successful separation of conjoined twins joined at the back of the head, the first successful neurosurgical procedure on a fetus inside the womb, and developed new methods to treat brain-stem tumors. He retired from medicine in 2013 after a distinguished career that included over 100 neurosurgical publications and numerous awards, including the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
As HUD Secretary, Carson oversaw initiatives such as the expansion of the Rental Assistance Demonstration program, the establishment of the White House Opportunity and Revitalization Council, and efforts to reduce veteran homelessness. Following his departure from HUD, Carson founded the American Cornerstone Institute (ACI) in 2021, a conservative think tank centered around advancing policies that promote faith, liberty, community, and life. He also founded Carson Scholars and Little Patriots Learning to directly support excellence in education for young thinkers. Carson continues to be an influential figure in conservative politics and public policy discussions.
