Thiel in addition to being pro-surveillance state is also transhumanism. He was interested in Clavicular of the looksmaxxing community for similar reasons.
Iv always wanted to watch something like this, but yea knowing who back it, fuck it. Kinda curious how some of the other sports worked out in relation to the non doping counterparts.
It’s one of those things where it sounds kinda cool until you think about it for more than 5 seconds. If it takes off there will be people inventing all sorts of new horrifying ways to destroy their bodies and end their lives.
And if they have a category for prosthetics and surgical enhancements hooo boy there’s going to be some scary shit coming out of that
The problem is that with the potential damage to the body and their career this is exactly what happens. Only the retired or mid performers are willing to actually take on the experiment. Top athletes already use some forms of doping but are very protective, since they have more to lose. Only those with nothing to lose will go all in on the enhancements.
I get the reasons for not doing it, but it seems clear that a lot of people are still doing it. Testing is always lagging the new methods of getting around it.
I’m curious if, with the world going crazy for LLM’s, we will see it used to make novel compositions of existing chemicals that constantly outpace the labs tasked with finding the doping.
Drugs can’t compensate for skill and technique.
…this isn’t a weird green text meme?
Holy fuck, the Enhanced Games are real? And looking into it, it’s backed by Donald Trump Jr and Peter Thiel.
Holy fuck actual dystopian future

Right? People dope in all sports, I’m fine with people being allowed to do it openly. I’m sure since it’s Thiel and Trump it’s awful somehow though
I kinda get most sports and comps not allowing doping, arguments for and against.
But yea, all the doping, bionics and shit, lets just see what we could do. For funsies.

Those fucking ghouls would have The Running Man going on if we let them.
