- im3w1l 3y agoI think you underestimate how much progress there has been in human enhancement the last few years. We are very close to the point where we can bypass the genetics. I suspect that's why Peter Thiel is taking an interest like this.
- mise_en_place 3y agoYeah like injecting botox into your genitals? All for an extra 1 cm? Bryan Johnson and these so-called "biohackers" have become an elaborate joke. Whether they are aware of it or not adds to the humor.

- operatingthetan 3y ago>Is he not the face of the “bio hacking”? You're overgeneralizing, it's fallacious to suggest we should judge the state biohacking by someone you determined (and brought up) to be the face of it. Defending "serious biohacking attempts" after saying "and these so-called "biohackers" have become an elaborate joke" makes you appear confused about your stance.

- antisthenes 3y ago> We are very close to the point where we can bypass the genetics. Yeah, no. Lots of citations needed for this extraordinary claim. Most olympic medalist winners are winners because of genetics, specifically being genetic outliers.
