“Change only happens when somebody puts a suit on and goes to work every day to solve a problem.”
Aron D’Souza has taken that advice from his friend Peter Thiel to heart. As the founder of the Enhanced Games, he is leading a bold, controversial, and thought-provoking movement into what he calls “the enhanced age.”
In this conversation, expect your assumptions to be shattered. Is it really more dangerous to enhance the body than to hand a child a smartphone? Why do we trust Coca-Cola and McDonald’s as Olympic sponsors but fear scientific advancement in sport? If you could give your son or daughter a pill to make them smarter, would you?
Aron doesn’t just argue for the Enhanced Games - he argues for the inevitability of an Enhanced Age. Along the way, he calls out safety culture, athlete exploitation, capitalism’s addictions, and the poverty of imagination holding society back.
This isn’t just a debate about sports. It’s a funeral for tradition, a rallying cry for bold vision, and perhaps the most unapologetic case for human progress you’ve ever heard.
