00:00Oh, Gemma, will you be watching these games?
00:03I will not.
00:03What an event it would be.
00:05Kind of. They're like a prelude Hunger Games for me, this kind of thing.
00:10I'm frequently horrified by what billionaire tech entrepreneurs come up with for their own entertainment.
00:19So one of the co-founders as well is a guy called Aaron D'Souza.
00:23He's an Australian tech billionaire.
00:25And the games are backed by Donald Trump Jr. and PayPal founder Peter Thiel.
00:32So lots of billionaires here doing something for their own entertainment, in my opinion.
00:38Now for Aaron D'Souza, on his Instagram bio, he says he's on a mission to build a new superhumanity.
00:45That sends shivers down my spine. Superhumanity. My goodness.
00:51Now, I did see he's only got about 2,000 followers on Instagram.
00:54And so, you know, I'm very surprised. Mark Zuckerberg has 15.7 million.
00:58So I'm a bit like Aaron. Are you just upset that you don't have lots of followers and you're trying to drum up, you know, excitement?
01:05Yes, exactly.
01:06So the word superhumanity is kind of, I don't like that at all.
01:11It just sounds genetically modified. It sounds like eugenics, to be honest with you.
