Anything endorsed by the last one must be great.

There were some articles that said that billionaires wanted to put collars with explosives on necks of their guards, in order to be able to control those guards. Because billionaires are afraid that the guards would not allow them to enter their bunkers.

This unrelated device sounds like a nice way to train peoole to use collars, later you just change from the "helpful" model to the "explosive" model.

Hijacking this comment to ask about Huberman, can he really be lumped in with the other two in that list?

I listen to his podcast for a while and stopped when I realized most of what he is talking about is marginal stuff or ”new research suggests”, which I found less interesting.

But has he really ever been a grifter selling complete bunk? Not talking about the ad-segments, which are of course payed endorsements.

Well, here he is promoting complete bunk, so the question answers itself.

Wait if they blow up their guards, who will protect them from all the cave people? Surely there are better ways to buy loyalty than this James Bond villian idea lol
