Thank you for posting some sanity in here. There's simply no evidence to suggest that any of this is reasonable and really seems like a weird sort of confirmation bias. That is, he has enough money to surround himself with a certain type of person, and that type of person tells him a certain type of thing that is assumed to be "privileged" or "cutting edge" in some way and thus circumvents the requirement of peer review or consensus a critical person would normally require before eating a bunch of pills. Tl;dr: There's no such thing as "ahead" of consensus.
