What happens when you decide the best way to market community is by deploying pseudo science and questionable morals? You go to jail eventually and we, well, we make fun of you.
Then, we make a cocktail (or two), and well, keep making fun of you.
But we are also incredibly passionate about whatever is conversation-worthy in the biohacker, life-extension, acupuncture, wearable technologies, psychedelics, supplements, health charlatans, overnight weight loss fads, which diets were better for neolithic ancestors we never personally met, public health policies, esoteric philosophical arguments about digital consciousness, and well they told me I had to stop typing. You get the idea.
