    So either he always had some mental health issues, or the lack of nutrition he did to keep the body he had lead himself to make very bad decisions because his brain couldnt process correctly anymore.

      I’ve never read anything about the looksmaxxing subculture that made me think it was anything other than people with severe body dysmorphia egging each other on. The least ethical 60s psychological experiment conceived by the most coked up 60s psychologist couldn’t have come up with a more fucked up method of seeing how far people will go.

        Eh… I wouldn’t be surprised if they did exactly this in the 60s, just with more LSD involved in the experiment.

            That’s afaik mostly an urban legend, originated from the “third eye” book by Lobsang Rampa.

      I think the copious amounts of drugs he was doing probably had a lot to do with it. Oh and the injecting gold part.
