Hi Neil & Tyson I participated in a meditation retreat called “Awakening Wisdom” at Bodhi Meditation in Richmond BC. It’s a standing meditation practice with guidance and movement. The instructions are in Chinese and translated to English. On the second day of the retreat, I could not hear the translation, all I heard was static noise. I turned the receiver off and proceeded to continue the practice observing the movements of the participant in front of me. I saw two flashes in midair in the hall to my left. One went over my head and the other landed on an empty meditation cushion one row to my right and one row behind me. There was an opaque column of light about six feet high. A participant came a few minutes late to the retreat and went and stood on that cushion and both were sharing the same space. I was observing them for a few minutes and went back to my practice. I can see an intensive white flash that was occurring. I stopped and turned back to see what was making the flash. When she was moving slowly or still the opaque column was visible. When she made a faster movement the column of light disappeared and became visible again when she was still or made slow movements. That was the flashing. Th appearing of the column of light. On another day a German lady, Alexandra and I saw this whatever it was. She was repeating my name and pointing at the cushion between the two of us.

You'd still need to keep people's weight in mind with the hormones. Someone who is 200 lbs of muscle can have lower levels than someone who is 150 lbs. When you are natural, there is no difference in overall performance other than how slow/fast you gain muscle. In the end, if you're both natural, it comes down to how hard you train with your genetics. Between genders will be a hole different ballgame.

The androgel being applied daily gives you a far more consistent T level. The upside to the intramuscular injections are that they are cheaper.

It sucks having to try and regulate your hormones yourself cause any emotional or physical stress you get makes you have to take extra dosses.

This fixation on testosterone levels in sports is part of the problem. The hormones regulate gene expression, there is an up or down regulation of specific processes. So even if everyone in a particular sport everyone had testosterone levels of exactly 500 ng/dl that testosterone would still be acting on a unique set of genes for each person. You would still have guys or girls who are drastically bigger, faster, stronger than others because their genes called for it. Not to mention hormone levels have nothing to do with skill development, training history, coaching, access to equipment, etc.

I have to comment on the logic being used by Neil regarding points of failure... it sounds as if he assumes that the more moving pieces, the more points of potential failure, as if to assume that fewer moving parts will be safer. But then he compares to rocket ships... which, if they were made with fewer moving parts, well, they probably wouldn't make it up into space as often or as safely. I would argue that the history timeline of rocket ships has gone on to only get more complex with more "moving parts" (i.e. points of failure), which are primarily there for the purposes of safety and consistency. Which would then force me to argue that complexity is not necessarily indicative of having more points of failure, IF those points are in use to prevent failure. Back to the human body... most of the "moving parts" of our bodies, via the endocrine system, are there for system stability and the prevention of failures, which means we are more complex AND safer because of it. So is it fair to argue that the human body is more "doomed" because it is more complex, yet a rocket ship is not?

I have yet to be able to afford a doctor to confirm my theory. My theory is that I suffer from hyperthyroidism. The reason is that I run on the hot side almost year round. Especially my torso area. It takes a lot for me to get cold. This has caused me a lot of problems. One is that I can actually wake up in a pool of sweat when everyone else are freezing. It causes problems between my wife and my self, because she wants to run the heater and I'm fine with the heater hardly being ran. If I lay still under the blankets, my body becomes warm. Once I move, I get a small sense of cold until I lay still for a few minutes again. In temps above 50F, I tend to sweat waterfalls. If I do any type of activity, I get over heated rather quickly.

It’s possible some people have more of a certain kind of receptor to take advantage of testosterone while others don’t so the extra testosterone doesn’t help them that much. One example is why some people can’t grow muscle in a certain area but other areas are fine. So if the goal is creating a level playing then T should simply be one factor and not a whole category.

The testosterone hormone used as a "weight' class doesn't really suit endurance athlete sports. Testosterone is incredibly useful to better performance, but it isn't the best way to categorise endurance sports, as a cyclist can have an incredibly suppressed testosterone after a few difficult days. One athlete can have the same physical load as the next but their testosterone can be way more suppressed than another. But the contest between the two can still be fairly even. Someone with low testosterone can still beat other riders with naturally higher testosterone. Some riders with obviously strive for massive testosterone (sprinters, big bulky riders for the flat stages). Others will strive to loose weight and have suppressed hormones as they are in a great calorie deficit. (Especially in a lead-up race). This comment hopefully adds some context to other sports. Probably outside the scope of your discussion.

Neil was really going to the mat to defend what was truly a bad idea and he was refusing to listen. Hormones aren't the only thing that goes into athletic performance. Hormones help determine how a body grows from a young age. Merely having more testosterone than someone else doesn't make one a better athlete. Some people are just different and more apt to win at a certain activity than others, hormones be damned. Trying to have hormone weight classes is like that is some measure of fairness is absurd. Someone that has grown up developing on testosterone their entire life has grown to be bigger, stronger, faster than someone who hasn't. But there is a giant disparity in that subset of people that cannot be explained away simply by the amount of testosterone. But what can be said that someone who didn't grow on testosterone through their entire life, you would not be able to put them on a higher level of test than a natural born male for 6 months, 1 years or 5 years and have them magically be able to all of a sudden compete. The answer to this is not to try and change the entirety of the world and how it operates. Society shouldn't realtor itself because an incredibly tiny minority of the billions of people on earth decide they want to call themselves something different than what they are. There is being inclusive. And then there is being bullied by some people taking advantage of the natural progression of life to cheat against people that can't compete. If anyone claims to be concerned about fairness, then trans leagues would be created and that would be that.

I also had another thought inspired by this thought & a lifetime of dissecting situations in my mind to figure things out. I was thinking what if some looked at Stephen Hawking when he was a kid & saw himself or his kid & decided to try to make his life as great as possible because not sure , I the name of his condition was multiple sclarrisis.

We already have an opposite for hyperbole: litotes. It's basically a dramatic understatement. "It's just a flesh wound!" is probably the best known example, but it is a common trope in literature. To answer Neil's closing question, why would I *want* to be normal? "Normal is what everyone else is and you are not." That sounds so boring. It's the deviations from the norm that make life interesting.

I think a better term to be used, would be "average", i.e. "this is the 'average' whatever for this class of whatever". Average would sound ethically better IMO, due to that they can always change. Or maybe even "overall". Idk, just throwing out an opinion

was Neil trying to say that testosterone and natural ability isn't always the winning factor? Some people can beat those odds by being more Skilled. You shouldn't give up because someone has an upper hand. Best thing about being human is that even the best mess up and the worst can come out winning.

The talk about insulin and uptake of glycogen to muscles makes so much sense why ketogenic diet would be so helpful for diabetes. You no longer rely on this mechanism and you get your energy from ketone bodies your liver makes out of fat. It's not for everyone but it can be life changing. Also it's more of a modified keto, not a strictly medical keto diet which was originally developed for drug resistant seizures mainly, and has found many more uses since. Keto makes your brain produce more GABA so it's also good for me for mood in general (calming/inhibitory molecule) and also probably part of why it works for seizures.

A single "command center" is more efficient. But, if it gets hacked or malfunctions... EVERYTHING FAILS at once. More safeguards are better in a world of bacteria, viruses, parasites, fungi, etc. That is ever evolving and changing to become as savage as possible. The stop gaps are probably nice.

I would have loved to here about the use of exogeneious hormones such as ecdysteroids. Something our bodies do not produce yet seem to have an effect in our endocrin system. Also i was hoping for more of a focus on the topic at hand; love you doctor tyson, but science and social issues shouldn't mix, it muddy's the science imo.
