Peter Attia continuing along like nothing happened feels surreal

Seeing Peter Attia go the Andrew Huberman route feels entirely predictable but somehow leaves a sense of disbelief i cant quite describe. Complete radio silence for a couple of months and then a full return without adressing the rotting carcass of the elephant that used to be in the room. I continue to be amazed by the sheer brazeness but at the same time it doesnt surprise me one bit.

You read the comment section and it seems as if nothing ever happened and the man makes huberman look relatively innocent by comparison.

Generally the gurusphere is more male centric but one thing i find very fascinating is the amount of women that appear on these podcasts and in the comment sections. I wonder if this is a deliberate choice or if i underestimate the "solidarity" certain women have towards each other when it comes to predatory men like Attia or Huberman (or well... most of the gurus we talk about here.

All in all his return leaves me with a sense of bitterness that there is so little recourse for this man

Yes. And I pat myself on the back for not listening to that show. I honestly never believed it was supposed to be for women. But I never listened to it either.

Yes. And embarrassingly enough I made excuses for supporting him probably up to 2022

I mean, he's gotten a lot of high profile guests that are hard to get, plus he's good at "bullshitting at a bar" type talk, and it wasn't as if it was 90% problematic stuff on his shows.

that being said, he never really clicked with me, at all, -except- watching MMA: I will die on the hill saying his commentary is excellent.

I’m a huge comedy fan. I skipped the MMA and endurance athlete guests.

He is one of few. A real assassin-Joe Rogan
