good place to hear it is 0:07 - 0:27 (edit: it happens throughout the whole track though)

Is it someone whispering on a seperate track? I know this is used to get an exciter-like effect, but it sounds so unsubtle, uneven and distracting to me

The whisper doesn't follow the dynamics of the vocals and it also seems to start end end slightly early and slightly late in some places

1. Do you agree that it sounds distracting? or am I hearing things
2. What do you think happened here most likely?

Oof, this is all over the place. For such an important current topic, I'd wished for more rigor.

1. Steroid use:

If you do it wrong, there are risks, but that's the same with everything. Having low testosterone is much riskier than TRT, arguably.

He talks about shifting from self help to self harm;

At what point is having low testosterone and doing nothing about it more self-harm than injecting testosterone?

Negative effects of low test inlcude: 

Low libido, erectile dysfunction, fatigue, cardiovascular risk, osteoporosis, severe bone loss, fracture risk, severe depression, infertility, insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes risk, anemia, cognitive decline, reduced muscle mass, increased body fat

2. Mewing:

Not sure where the harm is here, even if it isn't effective.

Dr. Mew having his license stripped doesn't really mean much. 

Galileo was punished for heliocentrism. Semmelweis was punished for promoting handwashing to prevent infections.

If you listen to the experts of mewing, it makes a lot of sense. Having no hard evidence that it works, doesn't mean that it doesn't.

Am I misunderstanding, or is Dr. K talking about mewing as "extreme stuff"? That's a bit ridiculous

Throwing buzzwords like "bonesmashing with a hammer" in here without specifically adressing them seperately from mewing does a disservice to the argument.

3. Leg Lengthening:

"Life long debilitating pain" happens in 1–5% of patients.

100% of people men who are considered short experience life long height discrimination. Analyses put short men at twice the risk of suicide compared to tall men (source).

It's not unreasonable to compare the two and weigh your options. 

Dr. K hasn't even begun to engange with the core philosophy of looksmaxing. It seems like he's refering to reports, clips, strawmen arguments, all of which portray mostly the opposite of what's actually at the core of looksmaxing.

description copied from YouTube:

"Consciousness may be characterized by its phenomenology and its functionality (how do mental states change in the presence of consciousness?). We explore the hypothesis that consciousness is functionally a causal pattern that establishes and increases coherence in mental representations within working memory, similarly to how a conductor establishes coherence in the music played by the different instruments of an orchestra. We understand coherence as the elimination of constraint violations across currently active perceptual representations, and propose a computational model of bottom-up/top-down perception that interacts with lateral constraint propagation, creating a working memory state that is coherent with current perceptual content and action control: the contents of a perceived present, which is reflected in a simulated observer. Request Conformation Networks (ReCoNs) are a model of how to achieve perceptual binding and working memory synchronization by periodic propagation of spreading activation in a recurrent paradigm. A ReCoN is composed of nodes and a small number of link types, where each node implements a state machine, facilitating binding, learning and execution of perception and action routines. Our work on Request Confirmation Networks is part of a larger project to understand the mechanisms of consciousness in a computational paradigm, using testable simulation models."
