    Let's just get to the part where poor people kill each other for the entertainment of billionaires because that's where this is going.

    graphene mechanical carbon nanotube shot put and triple jump competitions will have to be relocated to Nascar venues, I'll wager.

    If they do it right I'm inclined to agree. It's safer to just have it out in the open. They're also promising to give a much bigger cut of the revenue to the athletes.

    Thiel is obsessed with not dying, I'm sure he looks at this as testing for substances he might decide to take to keep his shit together. A real-world lab.

    That, and he likes making money, and this could make a lot of money. They have a lot of investors, it's not like Thiel is backing the whole thing.

    Watching a bunch of juiced up athletes sounds about as exciting as watching an e-bike race.

    I'm with you on ebike racing, but there are people who watch motorsports.
