Summary
Christian Angermeyer joins Plausibly Deniable to discuss the Enhanced Games, performance-enhancing drugs, psychedelic medicine, longevity, telehealth, ambition, and building companies around controversial ideas before they become mainstream. Christian argues that the debate around performance enhancement is stuck in moral panic, bad incentives, and missing data. He explains why the Enhanced Games are designed not just as a sports spectacle, but as a research and media platform: athletes competing with medically supervised enhancement, data being collected at scale, and a broader business built around health, recovery, and human performance. We also get into the ethics of PEDs, whether banning enhancement actually harms athletes, why recovery may be the real performance unlock, how psychedelics went from fringe to medical legitimacy, what founders misunderstand about ambition, and Christian’s path from European finance to building and selling a major African banking group. Absolutely none of this is medical, financial, or spiritual advice https://www.enhanced.com/games Sponsored by: Polymarket: https://polymarket.com Zcash: https://z.cashCitizenX: https://citizenx.com Network Press: https://network.press _______________________________ Plausibly Deniable: https://plausiblydeniable.org Lukas: https://x.com/SCHIZO_FREQ Saila: https://x.com/sailaunderscore Christian: https://x.com/C_Angermayer 00:00 — The moral case for performance enhancement 02:52 — Intro: Christian Angermeyer 03:26 — What are the Enhanced Games? 06:01 — PEDs, medical supervision, and building the first real data set 09:09 — Biohacking, looksmaxing, and body autonomy 14:40 — The Enhanced Games pitch: approved drugs, doctors, and athlete choice 17:14 — Why recovery may matter more than strength 21:09 — Ps…
