Here at Enhanced Games to see records get smashed. Start of Human 2.0 - wonder when all athletes become Genetically Modified Organisms…

Here is Human Enhancement expert, Bryan Johnson, answering the most polarizing question: “Why weren’t more world records broken at the Enhanced Games?” Watch for knowledge:

The 34 fastest 100M sprints in history... Those in red were later caught doping.

Alot of people making jokes but did they expect all the best athletes to immediately just jump over? How long though will it take though when gold medal olympians find out they can make a ton more money at the enhanced games Look what happened with LIV in golf

Overall retrospective on The Enhanced Games: There are a few thoughts here to break down. 1) The athletes were so grateful to participate. They made so much money to be there, some $1M+ to participate. For them that was a new lease on life. For an athlete who is past their prime to be able to compete again, actually get paid, have support, they could not have been happier. 2) The athletes hitting PBs (personal bests) was actually interesting and a good to see. But who cares, right? What we want to see is WRs (world records) right? Sort of. The athletes they got were mostly all past their prime. The pool they had to choose from had to be willing to take the enhancement drugs, be excommunicated from the traditional sports orgs for participating, have needed money, etc. So basically they’re not the best of the best athletes that are enhancing (at least publicly in this event). Not jabs, reality of getting older in sports. And even then, many of them were able to perform the best they ever did in their lives with the enhancement. That’s actually a huge win and very cool. And when you watched the interviews they’re honestly saying they FEEL the best they’ve ever felt. So good for them. This is likely why several of the natural athletes outperformed the enhanced ones. Because those athletes were in their prime and training for the larger events. They were clean. Of course the actual question remains: if you were to give an athlete in their PRIME these enhancements, how much better could the best become? 3) The Enhanced Games seems to be angling for some sort of subscription based supplement company model or something like that. In one of the interviews one of the organizers mentioned something like they’re using the event to collect data and want to sell supplements. So that seems to be the larger play: show people how drugs can improve their life, sell the drugs. 4) The event was clearly using science as the main patina to promote their larger business agenda. TLDR: It was an interesting event. The athletes were over the moon grateful and excited to get paid (a lot). The organizers are trying to likely use this to promote some sort of supplement company. They got to expose the world to their drugs they’re trying to sell. Athletes got to hit PBs and feel great and play their sports again. It was overall a cool thing.

Everything about the enhanced games seems so deeply unserious and stupid.

As you watch this man be brilliant tonight, I want you to know that he was up at 2:30am last night with our six year old who has the stomach flu. He is our hero and we are so proud of him.

Andrew Huberman described the worst morning routine in five steps. Stay in bed, recline, skip sunlight, drink coffee too early, multitask. Every one of them targets the same 30-minute neural event. Between minute 0 and 60 after waking, your body runs the cortisol awakening response. A healthy pulse lifts cortisol by about 50%, sets a 14-to-16 hour timer for melatonin release, primes immune function, and anchors alertness for the whole day. Miss the window and your circadian clock drifts until you go back to sleep. The rest of the day runs at 70%. Sunlight is the trigger. Light has to hit melanopsin cells at the bottom of your retina to signal the suprachiasmatic nucleus to fire cortisol. Through a glass window you need 50 times longer. A phone screen is hundreds of times too dim to count. Curtains closed plus head down means the pathway never activates. The pulse either never fires or fires weakly, with effects rippling across the next 16 hours. Reclining kills the second lever. Studies recording directly from the locus coeruleus and the reticular activating system show alertness drops with reclining and rises with sitting forward. Those melanopsin cells sit in the bottom of your retina for a reason. They evolved to see the sun overhead. Chin down, eyes down, horizontal body: the brainstem reads this signal set as "still asleep" and keeps you in sleep-adjacent arousal for hours. Coffee at minute 10 kills the third. Adenosine is the sleep pressure molecule cleared by that cortisol pulse. Caffeine blocks adenosine receptors before cortisol gets the chance to clear them naturally. Two to three hours later the caffeine metabolizes, uncleared adenosine floods the receptors all at once, and you crash at 11am. Drink a second cup to patch the crash and you've shifted your cortisol peak four hours late. Which means your melatonin shifts too. Which means you can't sleep that night. Phone scrolling kills the fourth. Morning dopamine baseline is the lowest it will be all day. Ten minutes of feed delivers hundreds of micro-rewards before breakfast is ready. You've spent peak dopamine on algorithm-selected stimuli. Every real task in the workday that follows registers as a downgrade against that baseline. Multitasking kills the fifth. The prefrontal cortex boots last after waking. Task-switching between texts, emails, and random notifications during the boot window trains the attention network to run fragmented all day. Sophie Leroy's 2009 attention residue research showed each switch leaves cognitive spillover that degrades the next task. Start the morning with 20 switches and focus is a rented asset for the next 12 hours. Five random-looking habits, five targeted attacks on the same mechanism. Light triggers the pulse. Posture amplifies it. Caffeine cooperates with it. Dopamine protects what it builds. Focus compounds what it anchors. 20 minutes outside with your phone in the other room fixes all five at once.
