Gene Therapy, Cavity Cures, and Smart Chips: The Future of Biohacking?

Summary

Ever wondered if you could never get a cavity again or boost your cardio significantly with a simple treatment? One individual shares their experience with a novel probiotic that replaces mouth bacteria, using ethanol as a byproduct instead of acid, potentially eliminating cavities for around $600. They also discuss a subdermal chip implanted in their hand, which functions as a Tesla key and digital business card, though it sometimes has registration issues. The most impactful experience was with gene therapy designed to increase muscle mass and cardiovascular performance by targeting myostatin. This therapy, which is reversible, led to a dramatic improvement in their VO2 max, effectively doubling the gains achieved through months of training. These experimental procedures, along with an affinity for wearing seatbelts even on buses, highlight a growing trend in biohacking focused on longevity and performance enhancement, mirroring the mission of figures like Brian Johnson. The conversation also touches on the idea of creating new charter cities like Prospera, Honduras, as platforms for innovation, where businesses can actively propose and shape legal and regulatory frameworks, essentially fostering a more adaptable 'operating system' for civilization.
