Biohacking is the day trading of health.
Think about it. When you're biohacking, you're looking for a shortcut to health. You want something you can take—a pill, a drink, a superfood herb—that will fix all your health issues. Or maybe it's a device you apply to your body for a few minutes a day, or a light fixture you can swap out, or a piece of exercise equipment that allows you to exercise without actually exercising. You want something you can obtain or accomplish without any hard work or effort beyond buying something on Amazon. But that's not how health works. And it's not how wealth works, either.
Day traders are guys who think they can beat the system. That they don't have to learn about the companies or the business models or anything—they just trade pieces of paper. They're the ones who think if they just make the right trades at the right time and stay glued to the computer screen, they'll get rich. It's possible, sure. Day traders will cite the ones who were successful every time as justification for their attempts. But most fail. Most lose money.
Biohackers are guys who think they can beat biology. They think they can circumvent what's been working for millions of years. But here's the thing about human biology: it's already full of shortcuts. Biology takes shortcuts whenever possible. It reuses substrates. It has multiple enzymes split off of the same biological pathways. The idea that a pill or an herb or a superfood or a strange device is going to let you avoid all the hard work is ludicrous.
Day trading has a low barrier of entry—you can download an app and be trading in minutes. Biohacking has a low barrier of entry—you can take this supplement and bypass all the years of hard work other people have done to get and stay healthy.
Am I saying that we can't affect our health in a positive way or make investments that make us money? Of course not. But doing those things takes time, it takes dedication, and it takes real effort.
