Summary
Bryan Johnson, a 46-year-old tech multimillionaire focused on anti-aging, stopped using rapamycin—a supplement he took for five years—after research suggested it might accelerate aging.
Johnson cited side effects like skin infections and glucose issues, as well as findings from a recent study showing rapamycin could worsen epigenetic aging.
Known for extreme anti-aging experiments, Johnson also created the health startup Blueprint, which markets pricey supplements.
His controversial methods, including teenage blood transfusions and genital shock treatments, have raised skepticism about their effectiveness and safety.
It would be hilarious if the societal collapse caused by wealth inequality resulted in him getting murdered. I would laugh and laugh.
To think that a societal collapse would stop a billionaire from hiring armed guards is absurd. By the time that guy is murdered, you’ll be so long dead.
Who cares at that point?
What?
My point is that he wouldn’t see him die and get to laugh because he would be dead.
Who cares, you’re dead.
What an interesting happenstance. You’ve inserted yourself into a comment reply, argued with me and yet you seem to be having difficulty understanding what the conversation revolves around.
Good luck to you.
In what world was that an argument? Lol, good luck to you Mr. “If he dies you’re already long dead” guy.
Here’s an actual argument:
- He isn’t even a billionaire
- If society completely collapses I kind of doubt people will care about the armed guard job and instead will just club the rich assholes over the head and steal their resources
What a lovely delusion you live in.
It’s an unpopular opinion, but I actually appreciate this guy and what he is doing. He has opted to open his entire research and data to anyone that wants to look at it. So, even though he is definitely a weirdo, the data he is providing might be of some use.
I don’t want to look like a vampire, but if his research leads to the discovery of some protein that allows my heart to beat at full strength for a little longer, or slows down the onset of dementia, etc., then I’m all for him wasting his money trying to look like a Twilight cast member.
This isn’t real research … it’s just a millionaire spending money on trying to live longer for themselves while selling and marketing products on the side.
If it were real research, it would involve a group of recognized researchers and scientists testing products and activities on a small group of volunteers who are fully aware of what they are participating in. And the research has to last for several years using multiple controls.
Watching one guy testing and trying out a few things whenever he feels like it and done at his own whim and under only his opinion and likes and dislikes is not research.
The biggest contribution he has to longevity is in promoting and advertising the fact that one of the ways to extend your lifespan is to become a millionaire.
You’re telling me that shocking one’s nards on a hunch and writing it down isn’t real research?
I’m starting to think I know nothing about science. What have I been doing?
I’d love to see your research on shocking your nards … especially to be able to see the video evidence of what happens and what the results are.
