Christian Angermayer: The Enhanced Games

In this episode of Brave New World, billionaire entrepreneur Christian Angermayer and Olympic athlete James Magnussen – who's been offered $1 million if he wins the competition's 100m freestyle swimming race – talk to Evgeny about taking part in the most radical sports event ever conceived; where doping is not just allowed but encouraged.

Christian talks about:

  • Dropping out of university and becoming an entrepreneur
  • Why he believes medical psychedelics will be available to prescribe within a couple of years
  • How psychedelics can help us cope with change, AI panic and our fear of the "new reality"
  • How Ozempic has changed the game for pharmaceutical companies
  • Why alcohol is "the worse drug of all"
  • How the Enhanced Games will actually improve drug testing at the Olympics
  • How most athletes struggle to make ends meet – and how the competition will help them earn proper money

James talks about:

  • How the Enhanced Games have given him fresh purpose
  • Why he isn’t worried about using testosterone to “juice to the gills” – safe for the impact on his fertility
  • Why stigma persists around performance enhancing drugs
  • Why this could become one of the biggest industries in the world
