I find the @enhanced_games fascinating.
They are encouraging athletes to push the limit of what is physically possible. The athlete can lift weights, perfect their nutrition, and take any performance-enhancing substance.
So many innovations in science previously came because of the desire for humans to win a competition, which suggests the Enhanced Games will have a big part in driving scientific breakthroughs over the next decade.
Do people really care that athletes were taking PEDs? I doubt it. It was awesome to watch Lance Armstrong win race after race or seeing Barry Bonds hit baseballs into the ocean. Pure entertainment and superior performance.
I suspect people cared about PEDs because they were banned substances, so athletes who broke the rules were cheating. That is looked down on in our society for good reason.
The science was fine. The morals were not.
But now we are going to get athletic competitions where the arbitrary rules have been removed. Athletes are free to pursue the highest level of performance that can be obtained with modern science.
There is a good chance we will look back at the era before enhanced athletes and see it as archaic. I can't wait to see what can be unleashed when you marry the competitive spirit with world-class science.
I hope they shatter every world record and entertain millions of people with what is possible now.
