Well, let me finish the punchline.

The punchline is whatever that number is, it's enormous.

Like zero.

It's such an evolutionary stupid thing to do.

The Peter Attia Drive

I'm going to reduce your probability of reproduction.

The Peter Attia Drive
#374 - The evolutionary biology of testosterone: how it shapes male development and sex-based behavioral differences, | Carole Hooven, Ph.D.

Yeah.
