John McAfee is a computer programer that created the first antivirus software, making him over 100 million dollars. He ran for president under the libertarian party twice, coming in third. He is wanted for questioning in 6 countries last I spoke to him, he is a modern day outlaw living life on his own terms.
I was really excited to talk to John because I believe he is someone who is unapologetically himself, and that ends up getting him into trouble from time to time. While some of the things he says during our conversation will upset some, I do believe he is a good person with a wild streak.
I did fact check a couple of the more controversial talking points ( I welcome listeners to do their own research as well)
The lifespan of Doctors is much lower than the general population (Indian Medical Association this is true)
Tuberculosis killed more people in 2019 than COVID did thus far in 2020 (according to the World Health Organization Tuberculosis killed 1.5 Million people in 2019, and so far COVID is at 1.02 million)
I don't want to make light of anyone that has lost someone close to them during these uncertain and confusing times, I do think it's important to show numbers and compare statistics because that can help shed light on the situation and leave people more informed to make the decisions that are best for them.
The goal of this podcast is to talk to outliers, independent thinkers, and people that are controversial. I think John McAfee fits the bill for all of those things. Go into this with an open mind and enjoy the ride.
