The top 100,000 families taking this scan every day would still put them 2 magnitudes below the target.

A Ferarri can do 200mph, but almost never does. Rolex watches come with helium valves, not that anyone understands what they are for let alone uses them. Luxury goods are always about untapped capacity.

What? This comment chain is specifically about the target of a billion full-body scans a month using 50,000 units.

That's about 1 scan per unit, every 2 minutes, 24/7.

50,000 hypochondriacs could pull that off easily

It's really not OK to victimize the rich like this either.

Hot take: the rich (especially the upper strata of the rich) are perfectly comfortable victimizing the non-rich in some material ways (from monopolistic practices, to lobbying against labour interests and union busting, to regulatory capture, to name a few).

To the extent you can really call pointing their behaviour out as victimizing them, I would consider bad PR to be a fair tradeoff.

Rich people have a phobia of death, unlike the rest of us for whom depression, disease, and injustice have really removed the sting of death and turned it more into "eh, if it happens it happens." So worry not: The rich wasting their money on biohacking fads are not being scammed, they are being consoled.

Isn't therapy or enlightenment ultimately cheaper?

Poor good. Rich bad. Good stuff should go directly to poor good people, never go to rich bad people. But that thing is for rich so by definition it is bad and not for the poor
