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.

At Texas Roadhouse yesterday. The big corner booth next to us was a guy and gal, with four boys, the oldest probably 5 or 6. Looks like she had one kid a year. He was handsome, jacked and tan, perfect mustache. She was black curly hair, blue eyes, gorgeous, nice figure. Kids were civil, funny, respectful, obedient. They were about 30-32 years old. I tried not to stare at this unicorn family, but it revived my faith that some are still doing it right. I have no idea who they were but was secretly rooting for them.

In a study of people with generalized anxiety disorder, only 8.6% of recorded worries actually happened. The most common outcome: 0%. Not a single worry came true.
