| Peter Thiel |
Peter Thiel is something of a self-made zillionaire, thanks to his early investments in Pay Pal and Facebook. He's outspoken, as only an openly gay, openly Libertarian billionaire can be.
Among his concepts is the creation of a republic on a yet-to-be-made man-made island, a sort of Atlantis in the Pacific.
More recently, Thiel shared with Bloomberg's Silicon Valley talking head Emily Chang his quest to extend his life expectancy beyond normal actuarial standards. (The interview was presented in a boiled down version by siliconvalley.com's Michelle Quinn.) The magic ingredient is none other than
HGH, or human growth hormone. Thiel noted its ability to help one maintain muscle mass.
HGH made its reputation, for better or worse, through its association with Major League Baseball players. They knew or believed the hormome had the potential to enhance their ability to perform and extend their careers. A number of stars took HGH, none brighter than
Alex Rodriguez. A-Rod eventually became MLB's sacrificial lamb to demonstrate it didn't want players gaining advantage via the use of biochemical aids. Maybe Alex Rodriguez should have played the markets instead of hardball.
