In today’s episode, Kate unpacks the world of looksmaxxing and biohacking, investigating how these lifestyle trends represent a nihilistic approach to self-preservation in a chaotic world. She looks at figures like Bryan Johnson, Clavicular, and the "Manosphere" to analyze their obsession with performing masculinity and constantly optimizing their health or appearance. Kate discusses how these online spaces radicalize men to misogynistic, pro-eugenics ideology and why the elitist biohacking obsession demonstrates a collapse of community, collective responsibility, and belief in public health.
