MolecularCactus1324Billionaire Anti-Aging Zealot Shares Data on Son’s Erections
Super gross
teftThe dude gets weekly dick injections which he classifies as 9.5 out of 10 on a pain scale.
Weekly.
Dude is a fucking moron.
kescusay9.5 out of 10. In his dick.
Has anyone asked him why he wants to live forever if that’s what it takes?
Right? Miss me with that dick pain immortality.
ClinicallydepressedpoochieYou sure, brother? You missing out.
grabs dick as another firey torrent surges through his body
Probably because he knows he can’t take his wealth with him in death.
What’s the point of being pointlessly wealthy if you can’t be pointlessly wealthy forever?
DharkStare“You get to live forever but in exchange you have to get incredibly painful injections in your dick on a daily basis.”
Sounds like a cursed genie wish.
Absofuckinglutely not
FranklinWhat’s the quality of my life? Like 20s forever or do I still age?
mjsaberMy guess is he wants to live forever because he feels he has made no contribution to the world, or does not feel a sense of fulfillment and purpose from raising his family. Maybe he feels cracking the secret could be his contribution, or maybe he thinks he can find meaning in his life, given enough time.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=3bFnZsvh6pw posits that it’s because he was raised believing in eternal life through the church, and lost his faith but still wants eternal life.
Project Blueprint & the Horror of Eternal Life
tomenzggProps for linking to that video; it’s so good.
I saw that video on Nebula and it was the first I’d heard of this dude, but I still found the video fascinating.
kazernielthanks for recommending this channel, seems right up my alley!
Get it early on Nebula! nebula.tv/lilyalexandre
If you haven’t tried Nebula, PM me, and I think I still have a guest pass for a free week.
It sounds like the dude just has a CBT fetish and doesn’t want to admit it.
It’s like those showerthought ultimatums : You can choose to gain eternal life, but every day your dick is the subject of the worst pain you’ve ever felt.
I’m going to laugh when he dies of self inflicted dick infection.
I truly hope that these people start getting organ failure and shit because of all of this experiemental shit they put into their bodies.
SonicBlue03These erections are rigged!
You meant to say “ligged”, right?
I’m saying someone may have toyed with the erection results.
Diddling erection results is dangerous
Erectioneering, you say?
morgunkorni saw him on two separate youtube channels: Magnus Midtbø (norwegian climber) and Will Tennyson (bodybuilding vlogger)
in both cases, they were invited by Bryan Johnson to his lair, going through his routine. it felt like a surreal cringe fest of zero social awareness. Bryan was permanently looking for some kind of validation, comparing his skills to his guest, or asking the various personal trainers / doctors if he beat some younger age category, etc.
everything he does can’t be healthy and i wouldn’t call what he does “living”. he’s bound to a 24h program where everything is planned down to the minute.
notsoshaihuludDorian Gray’s dilemma.
I mean he’s trying to find the healthiest things to help people live longer.
I’m not sure about the dick thing. But he’s carrying out many experiments with food, sleep habits etc.
Although you’re only focusing on the erection thing. Which seems a small part of the research, you’re focusing specifically on.
Experiments with a sample size of 1 are basically useless.
Is he though? He does so many things at once and only on himself. I don’t think you can call that research.
I appreciate his data collection and experimentation, although plenty of the data is anecdotal and the number of simultaneous experiments in a complex system is gonna make parsing out protocols a chore.
And what useful data comes from one rich asshole trying EVERYTHING? This is not science, it’s existential desperation sprinkled on a soufflé of wealth and cringe.
Why are you so angry at him?
He’s literally trying to make people live longer.
I don’t see why you’re calling him vulgar names.
andyburkePeople are upset because this person has the means to effect real altruistic change but instead is pretending to do science in a purely selfish effort.
I hope that explains it. I have no horse in this race.
It’s the opposite of selfish, he’s publishing all of this findings to the internet for everyone to see and use.
It’s not pretend, he’s actually doing it.
[deleted] in lemmyHe is posting shitty anecdotes.
No it’s the actual data sets
No, you don’t understand science.
You’re just trying to be antagonistic now. It’s the data sets. He shows what is beneficial, what’s increasing his longevity. It’s not that hard to comprehend. What decreases issues, what increase years a live on this planet.
Why would you attack someone who’s trying to help find what helps people live longer?
You are an idiot.
Ha, and now you’re attacking me. So you don’t really have an argument, you’re just slandering people.
It’s pretty telling that many comments on here are just attacking this guy. I wonder if bots are being used to try and smear this guy.
Fast food companies don’t want people to stop eating fast food.
Does getting healthy offend you?
It’s time for your dick injection, Bryan.
Weird that you’re attacking someone who’s trying to help people.
Are you being paid by the fast food industry?
To smear and try and debase people who are trying to show people how to be healthier and happier?
So you can keep making money and hurting the population
Sorry about your illiteracy
So you can keep making money and hurting the population
One would think a billionaire is keeping on making money much more than anyone who has a legitimate critique of his methodlogy.
Or they want to critic it because it’s affecting their bottom line ie fast food industry.
He’s just gone on Netflix. And now he’s receiving a lot of hate.
Dr. WeskerThey are offended by money and penises, and especially the two combined. Might as well let it go.
WesDym@Internetexplorer I think it's probably fair to assume that you won't understand why I'm blocking you. Or why anyone does.
Does getting healthy offend you?
Not at all. But seeing hobbysts and/or attention seekers pretend to do science when they’re not, that’s annoying. And if it misleads others, it could get someone hurt or killed.
Or extend their life, because they do consuming junk food and start trying to be healthy. It’s so easy to live a unhealthy life, at least this guy is trying to put people on the right direction.
You guys seem offended that he’s trying to be healthy and it’s weird. I don’t understand your agenda. Unless you work for the fast food companies and don’t like the idea of people but eating junk food.
On a basic level people could just stop eating junk food. Nothing he’s offering is life threatening, however eating harmful food_is_
Vandals_handle"He shows what is beneficial, what’s increasing his longevity. " How?
How would we know his longevity has increased and not decreased? How would we know which of the myriad of variables, or which combination of variables, was responsible for the increase (or decrease)? Not following the scientific method, won’t produce useful data. As someone said, anecdotes.
By taking readings and measurements of the human body. Seeing if your in an increased healthy state.
There are markers which shows the health of the body.
Here’s the deal: those markers are proxies for health. But there have been numerous cases (Alzheimers research is particularly full of them, but it’s widespread in many biological systems) where changing the proxy marker does nothing to change the underlying condition. Causality doesn’t work like that. You think it’s A causes B, but in fact it’s Z causes A by one causal chain, and Z causes B by (potentially) another. So there’s your guy’s first fallacy.
The second is to conduct multiple trials in parallel on the same subject. Then, even if a change in the proxy variable actually means a change in health, you have no reliable way to untangle which factor or combination of factors was responsible for the change.
Third, a sample size of 1 or 2 is fucking stupid. It makes it impossible to tell if any measurements collected are releveant, or even repeatable. It also makes it impossible to tell if any fluctuation was random or actually caused by something you are trying to measure. And if you’re trying to measure an actual effect, you need a control group to compare it against. He has none.
Source: I was educated as a statistician and my focus was on experimental design in bio-science and pharma.
So, even assuming good will on this guy’s part, he’s a hobbyist doing junk science. If he really cared about helping humankind, he should have asked someone who knows how to do experiments to advise him on how to set up his protocols.
Yes, I understand, annual medical checkups including blood tests, ekg, eeg, etc. provide readings and measurement that measure an individuals general health. That was not the focus of the question.
The how I am asking is how measurements of his condition tell us which of the multiple concurrent changes he made are effective and which had no effect, or perhaps even a negative counter effect? How is this providing useful data?
Because specific treatments work in specific areas.
Sleeping for the brain, general body rejuvenation.
Antioxidants the heart, there are many experiments going on. But health could be attributed to certain treatments.
Sometimes we don’t know the full extent of the affects of treatment over the whole body.
But key aspects can change with certain treatments.
To see if there’s a net positive affect as well.

We already know sleep is important and lack of sleep causes or exacerbates multiple conditions. Will his next breakthrough be stay hydrated homie?
*Antioxidants the heart, there are many experiments going on. But health could be attributed to certain treatments. *
Again how? With multiple treatments at once, how do you attribute to a certain treatment and not another, or multiple?
Sometimes we don’t know the full extent of the affects of treatment over the whole body.
And the methodology being used will provide no helpful data to help gain that knowledge.

What decreases issues, what increase years a live on this planet.
Can’t do that with a sample size of one, because there isn’t a comparison to know if it is longer or not.
Longer? And it’s not just him, his son also participates and yes you can change your lifestyle and try results and see if it’s affective for him. That’s still data.
On the plus side, we now have at least some evidence that Bryan Johnson is on Lemmy! 🤣
“But worthless data is still data!”
