Enhanced Games

The Enhanced Games is a proposed new athletic competition that embraces performance-enhancing drugs and aims to push the boundaries of human potential. It is envisioned as a transparent and open platform where athletes can compete at their peak, with full disclosure of their enhancement methods. The Enhanced Games is a brainchild of Dr. Aaron D'Souza and Christian Agamayo, who believe that the current Olympic system is flawed and that athletes deserve a more honest and equitable platform to showcase their abilities.

Performance Enhancement

Performance enhancement refers to the use of substances or methods to improve athletic performance. This can include the use of anabolic steroids, human growth hormone, blood doping, and other techniques. Performance enhancement is a controversial topic in sports, with many athletes and organizations advocating for a drug-free environment. However, others argue that performance enhancement can be beneficial for athletes, allowing them to reach their full potential and compete at a higher level. The Enhanced Games is a platform that embraces performance enhancement, aiming to create a more transparent and open environment for athletes to compete.

Psychedelics

Psychedelics are a class of psychoactive drugs that alter perception, mood, and cognition. They are known for their ability to induce profound changes in consciousness, often leading to mystical experiences and insights. Psychedelics have a long history of use in various cultures for spiritual and therapeutic purposes. In recent years, there has been a growing interest in the potential medical applications of psychedelics, particularly for treating mental health conditions like depression, anxiety, and PTSD. The Enhanced Games founders, particularly Christian Agamayo, are strong advocates for the medical use of psychedelics and believe that individuals should have the freedom to make informed choices about their use of these substances.

Body Autonomy

Body autonomy refers to the right of individuals to make decisions about their own bodies, including decisions about their health, reproduction, and appearance. It is a fundamental human right that is essential for self-determination and personal freedom. The Enhanced Games founders argue that body autonomy should extend to the realm of performance enhancement, allowing individuals to make informed choices about their use of substances and methods to improve their physical abilities. They believe that the current prohibition on performance-enhancing drugs in many sports is a violation of body autonomy and that athletes should have the freedom to compete at their peak, regardless of their enhancement methods.

Olympic Games

The Olympic Games is a major international sporting event held every four years. It is a celebration of athletic excellence and a symbol of international cooperation. The Olympic Games are governed by the International Olympic Committee (IOC), which sets the rules and regulations for the event. The Olympic Games have been criticized for their high costs, the prevalence of doping, and the exploitation of athletes. The Enhanced Games founders see their project as a potential alternative to the Olympics, offering a more transparent and equitable platform for athletes to compete.

Transhumanism

Transhumanism is a philosophical movement that advocates for the use of technology to enhance human capabilities and overcome limitations. Transhumanists believe that technology can be used to improve human health, longevity, intelligence, and other aspects of human life. The Enhanced Games founders discuss the potential for their project to become a platform for transhumanism, showcasing the potential for human enhancement through technology and science. They believe that the Enhanced Games can help to push the boundaries of human potential and create a future where humans are able to achieve greater things.

Therapeutic Use Exemption (TUE)

A Therapeutic Use Exemption (TUE) is a permission granted by a sports governing body to an athlete to use a prohibited substance for medical reasons. TUEs are controversial, as they can be used to give athletes an unfair advantage. The Enhanced Games founders discuss the abuse of TUEs in the Olympic system and argue that the Enhanced Games will create a more transparent and equitable system for athletes. They believe that the Enhanced Games will be more transparent and accountable than the Olympic system, and that athletes will be required to disclose their use of performance-enhancing drugs, regardless of whether they have a TUE.

CRISPR Gene Editing

CRISPR gene editing is a revolutionary technology that allows scientists to precisely edit genes. CRISPR has the potential to cure genetic diseases, improve human health, and enhance human capabilities. The Enhanced Games founders discuss the potential for CRISPR gene editing to be used in the future to enhance athletic performance. They believe that CRISPR gene editing will eventually become a part of the human enhancement landscape, and that the Enhanced Games will be a platform for showcasing the potential of this technology.

Seed Oils

Seed oils are a type of vegetable oil that is extracted from the seeds of plants. Seed oils are often used in processed foods and are a major source of unhealthy fats. The Enhanced Games founders discuss the dangers of seed oils and argue that they are a major contributor to poor health. They believe that the Enhanced Games can help to raise awareness about the dangers of seed oils and promote healthier eating habits.

Capitalism

Capitalism is an economic system in which private individuals and corporations own and control the means of production. Capitalism is often associated with free markets, competition, and profit maximization. The Enhanced Games founders discuss the role of capitalism in driving social change. They believe that capitalism can be a powerful force for good, but that it can also be used to exploit and harm people. They believe that the Enhanced Games can be a force for positive change in the world, and that it can help to create a more equitable and just society.
