Brian Johnson, who is known for spending $2 million on medical interventions, follows a very specific diet called The Blueprint. Neil Parikh mentioned this and joked that Brian might not be the target audience for young blood transfusions.
I think it's control, what I mean by the control thing is that when so much of the world is out of your own control, I think biohacking feels like, wow, I can do something and then I see a direct input into what's happening into me or at least what I believe right. And when you're often running a company it feels like things are out of your control all the time right, the market can be changing, your employees or other things, I might be projecting a little bit here, but my hypothesis would be that it's like a very direct thing that people can do and see some output on the other side. And I think the other thing is, you know people who start companies are often experimenters, and so we're down to try crazy things on ourselves. And so there's a range of that obviously from, you know, sauna to some people injecting themselves with crazy things that come from animals that are probably not FDA approved it whatnot, but we're probably like a little bit more on the radical side than most people.
So entrepreneurs are specifically obsessed with this now. You mentioned Brian Johnson who famously spent two million bucks on medical interventions and all sorts of weird stuff like electromagnetic pulses on his penis to make it younger and all weird weird stuff.
You mentioned Brian Johnson who famously spent two million bucks on medical interventions and all sorts of weird stuff like electromagnetic pulses on his penis to make it younger and all weird weird stuff. You know, why do you think entrepreneurs specifically are so obsessed with biohacking, I have a couple ideas, but I'd love to hear yours.
