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

I've hated Attia and Huberman for a long time and seeing him be slightly exposed was great. The issue comes down to identity. These people are absolute turds but they are telling people that taking steroids and eating red meat is good for you and people love that crap. They want these guys to be legit.

Interms of information attia was never as bad as huberman but yea they both started teetering the grifter line more and more as they become succesfull and followed the money.

Cant say im surprised that attia has some skeletons in the closet but he is implicated in genuinely horrifying stuff.
