Tao is obviously completely unfamiliar with the PED gray market, and what people are willing to put in their bodies that hasn’t even been verified by the likes of an LLM. If there’s a promise of changing or controlling their corporeality in some way, many people are shockingly cavalier. If it’s because you are going to die, but could live with this experimental treatment, the risk tolerance is that much higher. I agree he’s chosen a pretty tone deaf analogy.
