Man, I backed away from Klein after his pod where he stated we should all just lean into maga, for survival. Now, he’s here.

Yeah Klein isn't too much of a surprise.

A bit more of a surprise is Kasparov.

But Cory Booker? He pretends to fight for you in your face, then goes and mingles with Nazis in secret societies in your back.

All the same.

I’m not getting through all of that but

Elizabeth Blackburn:

She discovered the molecular structure of telomeres and co-discovered the enzyme telomerase, essential pieces in the puzzle of cellular division and DNA replication. Her research offers hope for cancer treatment, clues to the mystery of ageing and even biological links between life circumstance and lifespan.

Peter Attia: author of the book Outlive

are on the list.

Which sounds about right for Theil.
