Better Sex, Better Hair, Better Sleep: ‘Humanmaxxing’ Is Here
About this episode
The episode discusses the balance between self-optimization and maintaining our humanity, featuring insights from biotech entrepreneur Christian Angermayer.

When does it get in the way of our humanity itself? My guest this week is the German biotech entrepreneur Christian Angermayer, who believes scientific breakthroughs to extend our lives — and even put us in touch with the divine — are close at hand.
