No idea if YouTube will yank for copyright or not but its processing…
Thanks @amal! Can’t wait to watch this tomorrow.
- “R”. A name that just exudes trustworthiness and objective science.
- Dr Phil looks high
- The whole edit definitely seemed super rushed. Should have been an hour show.

I noticed that too.
Agreed.

Yup. It seems to be too fast of an edit. The normal Phil episodes at least seem relaxed compared to this.
All in all I think that if we ignore that it’s great episode.

That’s actually just old age. The dude is really old now, and it’s exhaustion. He filmed for 45 minutes before our show that day and he needed it a couple hour break between filming that and filming us… and that was his only work for the day.

Wow that actually went way better than I expected. I liked how the counterpoint guest that the show brought on the biohackers didn’t even need to respond because doctor Phil was just like “yeah but that’s not true”.
I think Anastasia was an interesting choice, of course they needed a VIP (very implanted person). I think the perception is that experimental shit that fails ike the pegleg are available off the shelf and a bunch of people are unknowingly implanting, which is just not the case. I also liked how the list of “legitimate” use cases for implants keeps getting longer and longer and longer and more complex with batteries and shit, but people still call a tiny glass cylinder injected in 2 minutes that unlocks your house and car “trivial”

oh yeah he did respond… but continued to get shut down. the magic of editing for time 
another victim of editing… she made a very good point that she is doing experiments here and takes full personal responsibility for outcomes, and that these are not commercial products… but that was all removed and just the part about her having to “suffer through the consequences” was left in. really fucking annoying.
ha yeah… i think this has to do with the arbitrary line we talked about on the phone that people make up to separate what they see as “restorative” and “augmentative” or elective as some might say… with the former being “necessary” to live a better life that what would be possible without such implants, and therefor entirely worth the relatively high risk (relative to passive implants)… yet at the same time blow out of proportion the risk of passive implants because the use cases are not also seen as a way to live a better life.
