    Rich people who like nitrous occasionally purchase a set up like a dentist office and you breath a mixture of air and NO2 that is constant, but doesn't knock you out. You can adjust it so the mixture keeps you right on the edge of the wah wah zone.

    Sad story.

    His childhood might've left an indelible mark on his perceptions of happiness and adulthood that he went on trying to solve problems tech and science shouldn't solve. I mean science to the loosest as biohacking is the latest psuedo trend dominating the valley...from taking low dosage LSD, to breaking up the day and sleeping at 4hr intervals.

    It looked like he tried hard to build communities and even banged rockstars but at some point drugs burn off your neurochemical highs, and your lows are all that's left. Doesn't matter what degree of tolerance you have if your personality is looking to surpass those natural safeties.

    Hope he's found the peace he's looking for.

    Makes me think now that when Lamar overdosed with three hookers in Vegas that he wasn’t crying out for help
    He just overdid it when trying to have too much fun

    The amount of drugs and hacking he put in makes me think he wasn't happy with himself or with the current thoughts of happiness people around him were giving off. You can solve a lot of things with money for other people until you can't. That probably deadened that dopamine drip whenever you perform a random act of generosity...

    He didn't want to die but he didn't want to live in a sober reality either. The man made a fortune for several lifetimes. He didn't need performance enhancers or pop Adderall like pro in their mid twenties.

    His routines and fad diets were either to create a personal "new reset" or blaze a way for his following that questioned how the human condition is right now.

    If he had a family and roots, I'd lean more of the latter than the former.

    I wonder if he wrote memoirs about his trips. I used to like reading those kind of accounts as a hobby. There's a fine line between genius and drug addled mess...

    i feel * bad * that anyone would die a fiery death by candles but this guy died doing what he loved..

    i have a good friend like this. does a bunch of drugs and party and somehow everytime he falls in sh*it he comes out of it smelling like a rose..
    they like to take things to the limit and prove you wrong. its not enough to get drunk if you say he can 'only drink 3' well then you know he will drink 5.

    its a show off mentality with a long history of amazing luck and zero consequence..this is simply a numbers game and father time catching up..

    if he had lived many here would be singing his praises and motivational inspiration buying his book where he brags about that time he did a bunch of nitrous ..got burned..fought death came back and has the scars to prove it.

    in this case he didnt come back.thy game is over.... play with fire get burned. play stupid games win stupid prizes. i guess he had no kids and he took it to the limit one time too many. so with no kids wife will its how he wanted..

    thats not sad and if he has succeeded it would have scored a million likes (maybe you should ask yourself whats REALLY sad here)
