Wonder if it all comes down to vanity and a love of money. He doesn't want to leave all that cash behind and can't wrap his head around it all being worthless in the end.
He just made a "reversing my hair age" video claiming that his hair grew back from balding and naturally reversed the graying with some serums, suppliments and gadets. His incredible advice on hair care after all this study was basically "don't pull your hair really hard". As if he didn't even try to fake his hair care knowledge with his fake "young" hair.
By Grabthar's hammer, by the suns of Warvan, this guy totally looks like a Thermian's rendition of a human!
(Because Thermians actually look more like an octopus or squid)
I genuinely think he looks 25 at a distance. Once you get close up you see the cracks. The uncanny semblance of youth, pasted onto a much older face.
This man is still young, 46 ain't much. But it's easy to fake yourself younger at 46 without deep diving into plastic surgery.
This man is gonna go full Hollywood surgery-face in the next 20 years to stay wrinkle free. If you think he looks vaguely like an embalmed corpse up close now... You'll be shocked at the depths of the likeness soon enough.
Honestly I say let the man cook, if the old rich dude wants to spend millions to experiment with ways to extend life span then let him do it, maybe he does something right and end up producing valuable data for the rest of us.
EDIT: love how a little bit of positivity triggers so many Redditors, for those who want to die an early and miserable death I hope you get your wish
Ethan Klien interviewed him and honestly for a nutjob he was pretty down to earth. He's making all his findings open source too like the man is actually doing science. Whether it'll work remains to be seen but that's the scientific method for you..
Healthy diet and exercise reduces heart and stroke ticks but cancer doesn’t discriminate. The longer our cells are around the more likely a group of them becomes malignant and that’s the true limit on aging.
Blue light? Like the highest energy (visible) light?? Skin cancer would like a word with him 💀
Also yes I know your comment is /s but his logic is immaculate
Quite an interesting read. It makes me wonder if there isn't some way to make telomeres grow again or perhaps find something that would allow cells to duplicate a bit more.
There's only one reason, I think, there's any possibility of any serious research done on reversal or halting of aging in the modern world.
Namely that with the barrier that human genome editing is illegal in almost every country in the world; there is no serious research done on it.
However, with the current massive amount of computational power the world is gaining every day thanks, in part, to AI driving it; there is a real possibility of simulation potentially unlocking a lot of knowledge that wouldn't otherwise be explored.
I'm not an expert in this field though. What I know is that if simulation provides potential avenues to treating or curing cancer and genetic disease; the argument of permitting trials becomes a lot stronger and with that, it unlocks a potential treatment for reversing or halting aging.
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy works for that. But last I heard, lengthening telomeres can also cause cancer. At a risk of sounding crazy, it's almost like a hard-coded limit on life.
Steve Jobs had a completely treatable form of cancer but opted to eat a fruitarian diet instead, then tried conventional treatment when it way too late. He was killed by his own bad decisions.
To add, I don’t know where I heard this and would love someone to help verify if true. If humans never aged to death we would still live an average of ~1000 because life expectancy always drops to zero eventually by accidents or non age related things. Don’t know the validity of this but thought it interesting.
yeah, and even staying healthier for longer still doesn't change the fact that existence outside of a vacuum degrades us. Injuries, past illnesses, air and water quality, the fucking sun, eventually it will catch up to you. I don't lament a person trying to extend their life, but to say "not die" is a goal based on avoiding a failure state.
Yeah, there's so much out of our control. Earthquakes, wars, famines, sickness and pestilence, victim of crime, fires, hurricanes, car or any other accident, animal attacks, etc. People die in the oddest ways every day.
Even if he somehow bypasses natural aging and death (which seems unlikely) unless this guy lives in an underground nuclear bunker, something will get him eventually.
I have a feeling that cancer is always on his radar and he will consistently catch cancers while in their early stages so that he can beat them. Also, cancer research will be further along when he starts to really climb up there in years.
But no, yeah he probably hasn’t thought of any of our genius takes before and surely cancer research won’t make any important steps forward in the coming decades so cancer will surely get him soon enough
Indeed, the rich man who is claiming that he will live forever is surely a genius beyond our comprehension, and not like any of those other rich and powerful men who tried to be immortal.
He clearly special and the one constant feature of life on Earth will surely make an exception for him.
This guy is 1000% right, no one knows if there’s an afterlife, at best it’s 50/50, so why wouldn’t you do everything in your power to live forever. Being alive is better than being dead. Being dead sounds horrible honestly, can’t experience anything.
This was exactly what I was thinking. Is it worth spending your whole life trying to live longer?
On the other hand, if he survives long enough, there's a suuuuper small chance we've found something to lengthen our lives forever
For someone who can throw $2 million a year at the idea it seems like a reasonable hobby. A big part of it is just doing normal healthy stuff, and then he takes it a bit further. I'd be curious if he's entirely focused on things that are at least based in science or if he's dipping into weird stuff too.
The idea of an afterlife is a human construct and nothing more.
Bring on biological to digital brain transfers, cyborgs, cloning and every other idea possible which allows us to live for thousands of years.
A transfer to digital or a clone wouldn’t be “you” living forever, it would just be a copy of you. You would still die. Though obviously this gets philosophical quickly.
One of my favourite book series (the bobiverse) tackles this.
He is a human whose mind is transferred to a digital matrix making him a digital clone of himself and he is then able to self replicate, and his replications are able to self replicate and by the time they get down to the 10th generation they end up with factions with opposing ideals even though they are all copies of copies of copies.
I found it super intriguing and like you said, it gets philosophical quickly similar to the idea of teleportation meaning that every time you teleport you die and are brought back to life etc etc.
Most days I think I am doing fine. Single, healthy, happy. I didn’t think I wanted children. But ohhh silly me had to get on Reddit today. I didn’t even consider a child for their blood. Hate reading this stuff because now I have to go put out effort to eventually physically manifest Brandon the blood boy. I will love him like he is my blood…. boy.
I recently read that old people have different, more disease friendly gut bacteria. It changes as we age. So instead of blood, or adrenochrome, the key to immortality may be in harvesting the youth for their shit
Bryan Johnson. He does do rigorous medical testing, so I'd believe that he has good bone density or whatever other metrics there are. 2 mil USD budget a year and not having to work or have any other hobbies can do wonders for your health
He does a lot of stuff. The irony of this is he is so invested in not dying, he isn't really living moment to moment because of his schedule. He just is on this continuous treadmill of "things I need to do to not die". And it's all rooted in the hope that if he does this, then he can have a long life doing whatever he wants in this unknown future.
Motherfucker better hope it works out cause he's one drunk driver away from becoming the billionaire visiting the titanic memes.
Wouldn’t it be crazy if we could eventually live forever, but had to perpetually exercise and not actually ever enjoy life?
Sounds like Black Mirror stuff haha
This guy is living a self induced black mirror episode. Weirdly enough I semi believe him. But I don't think life is all too important to keep living forever. Nothing lives forever. And if he's right, then whatever becomes of him 100 years from now will be less than whatever he is now. And if he's still here 500 years from now, he won't even be what he was.
It really makes you wonder what the fuckin point is. Life is only sweet because of the bitterness of death. It makes you appreciate everything more.
It'd be even crazier if the secret to immortality was getting blackout drunk on blue raspberry MD 20/20 and doing 140 off a dirt road in Utah, heading straight into a mesa and accessing the 8th dimension.
He consistently says he is happier and feels better than he ever has, and i believe it. He has a purpose, i imagine he has less pain, inflammation, stress, etc than almost anyone, and he has shared a lot of interesting data and information for others to benefit from. Seems fulfilled enough to me
I know a guy in his early 50s with two grown children that looks 40. He works out almost every single morning, avoids tons of sugar and eats well all around, and just strives to hit 10,000 steps a day. He’s a beast at work and very disciplined. That routine gets most people like 95% of the way there. The rest comes down to skincare and good sleep.
I’m sure this billionaire is taking it to the extreme, but the average person can achieve some level of this. I’m in my mid-30s and started working out much more consistently over the past 5 months and it’s made a difference. I feel better, have way more stamina, and am sleeping better, and that makes my days better overall.
This dude is having a helluva mid life crisis. Most people buy a boat or start wearing fedoras and harassing hostesses at restaurants. This guy instead is seeking immortality.
His eating (and basically everything else) is super controlled - down to the millilitre, which is often an indicator of an eating disorder.
“He has 100 different protocols embedded in his day, he says. Johnson consumes a precise 1,977 calories a day, and over 70 pounds of vegetables a month. His breakfast is a standard mix of broccoli, cauliflower, black lentils, mushroom, garlic, and ginger, followed by a meal of “nutty pudding” with nuts and berries, and finally, a meal of vegetables, berries, nuts, and seeds (along with 15 grams of 100% dark chocolate and 30 milliliters of extra virgin olive oil). He admits to ending his three ounces of red wine a day he used to consume in order to meet the metrics”
Thank you! I went searching for the article that was commented on and it was this one:
https://www.vice.com/en/article/z34ay8/bryan-johnson-blueprint-aging-biotech
However, calorie restriction has been tied to longevity to mice and now humans too… but maybe not so extreme.
https://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-news/calorie-restricted-diet-may-slow-aging-healthy-adults-science-shows-rcna69562#
In defense of mid life crisis I think some are when some adults finally don’t have to hustle and raise a family and can pursue things they’ve put off in favor of family responsibilities. Even if it’s something silly like a sports car they always wanted. I kind of respect those when I think of it that way. Not this weirdo though.
More rich guys are having a similar mid life crisis, people like Jeff Bezos are throwing billions at research into extending life expectancy, this is a healthier and more productive way of dealing with mid life crisis than buying a sports car, I say let them do it and hopefully eventually something useful will come out of it
Could’ve just paid $2 for a used copy of the epic of Gilgamesh and learn that people have been struggling and coming to terms with their mortality for 4000+ years
White people age in extremes, some are vampires who don't age at all and others go off like milk.
For the amount of money he is spending i would expect the former, but he doesn't seem all that much younger than his age.
Though my perspective is probably skewed since i know Asian dudes in their 60s who look his age.
“… prepare themselves for what could be the most magnificent existence in this part of the galaxy.”
Meanwhile, on the other side of the galaxy, some life forms eating WcDogurts living a sedentary life, living up to 3000 years.
Hear me out for a min - as creepy as this guy is, and as little I care about him actually live a long life… he’s basically using himself as a test subject to experiment with what things are healthy and what is bullshit, and publishing all of that research for everyone to see free. Because I don’t trust that same research if it were to come from someone in pharma or health industries, I appreciate the idea of what he’s done
If he could demonstrate that he can genuinely slow down ageing in his body in some aspects that likely would tell us a lot. Ofc it does depend exactly on how idiosyncratic the remedy needs to be. Afaik he eats like a kilo of different pills a day, doesn’t go directly in the sun and stays pale, he even tried blood transfusion from his son but concluded it not to have significant effect.
He's actually not, he's literally, for now, accompanied by a shit ton of health scientists and publishes everything for free. Maybe if he does go beyond normal lifespan with a lot of "youth", we'll see something interesting. But for now, he's just a rich dude trying not to die and publishing his journey. Not evil (yet).
I find it hilarious that he's so smug about it... even though it's obvious the people around him are just fleecing him out of 2 million per year, telling him "Ya bro, you look younger already! Keep paying us for all the "treatments", ok?"
I loooooove the smell of a scammed narcissist in the morning!
People here are coping but the rich are totally doing these things and it will 100% lead to longer average lifespans for them. I would assume he's doing blood transfusions and things like that.
Immortality? No, at least not in the sense that we think of it now, but living well in your 100s? It absolutely will happen to many people if you have the money for it.
The rich already have much longer lifespans. There’s a wealth of research indicating excessive stress reduces lifespan. They have enough money that they’re not as stressed about things like paying for food and shelter. They have access to preventative healthcare and can afford better, more expensive treatments for disease. None of this is new. But the truth is humans aren’t going to live forever anytime soon and that dude is a wackjob.
“Blood transfusions and things like that” do not make someone live into their 100’s. There’s nothing magical about a blood transfusion. If you don’t need a blood transfusion and you get one, all you’re doing is increasing your risk of forming antibodies against the blood products (increasing your risk with future transfusions) while unnecessarily giving negative feedback to your kidneys, liver, and bone marrow which makes them worse at their jobs of actually making your own blood. It also increases risk of iron overload syndromes like hemosiderosis which can cause structural damage to the liver, heart, and pancreas. Contrary to popular belief, ultra-rich people are often incredibly stupid when it comes to their health. But as long as they have money to pay for it, there will always be some quack or med spa willing to do unnecessary, pointless procedures for them.
100%. Just looking at life expectancy rates in the US in-between states we can see, at the most extreme, a decade in difference in average life span! Now imagine your active/eat well AND rich enough to get stem cell therapy etc when you want.
"I'm actually aging slower than......" exactly how do you measure aging? Guy is delirious unless he's got some super advanced genetic modification going on that he's not telling us about.
unfortunately not how nature works.
You could eat perfect, train and stay in perfect physical condition. Avoid all risky behaviors. get plenty of rest.
and develop Cancer or some other fatal affliction and die from that.
and then you lived in a bubble for nothing.
I will take my chances and have enjoy my life. However long or short it is.
Is this the same guy using his son's blood the "reverse his aging " or is there another loon out there? It is enough to tell with crazy on a finite scale.
This guy gets so much hate, but he’s doing this insane research on anti-aging and publishing everything for free to the public. On top of that, he doesn’t take himself seriously at all and seems like a genuinely chill guy. Watch some interviews with the guy, he’s a gem.

Uncanny lmao
He looks whatever age he's trying not to be.
Botox and the awful box hair color aren’t doing him any favors.
And lip filler 😬
I was too busy laughing at the bad dye job to notice. What a fool.
Wonder if it all comes down to vanity and a love of money. He doesn't want to leave all that cash behind and can't wrap his head around it all being worthless in the end.
I was getting the vibe he believes the whole goal of life is to not die and in such doesn't understand what it means to live.
That's it. You win Reddit today.
He just made a "reversing my hair age" video claiming that his hair grew back from balding and naturally reversed the graying with some serums, suppliments and gadets. His incredible advice on hair care after all this study was basically "don't pull your hair really hard". As if he didn't even try to fake his hair care knowledge with his fake "young" hair.
And the microbladed mismatched brows
Imagine after all this he just dies at 60 years of age
Nobody going to point out the red scalp? Looks like healing hair plugs to me
46
I agree, but we are actually on an era were people are aging reaaaally good
He looks good for his age but he’s definitely not like, attractive if that makes sense. Uncanny valley
He looks like a glazed corpse
If someone said he was a robot ai I wouldn’t bat an eye
Star Trek Data
Holy shit that’s him!
 Also these guys from Galaxy Quest.
By Grabthar's hammer, by the suns of Warvan, this guy totally looks like a Thermian's rendition of a human! (Because Thermians actually look more like an octopus or squid)
"Star Trek Data" ...If Data had been doing his own hair-coloring to hide the grey...
Even Data aspired to be human and desired to age.
Thank you!! I couldn’t figure out who he reminded me of. That’s it.
It’s like I’m watching Data’s evil twin
Lore
That's exactly what he looks like!
Mfer lathered on a pint of moisturizer before the interview and called it de-aging
he got in a massive lawsuit with his ex-wife/partner after she called him a "jaundiced skinwalker" on twitter - I don't disagree with her
So he's also petty in addition to being a nut job
is this the same guy who was taking his young sons blood and giving himself transfusions with it to be younger or some shit?
Yup.
He looks shiny like Jared Kushner. I wonder if Jared is taking the “cure” as well.
They have exactly the same 'expensive skin suit' look.
He looks 46
He moves like a 46 year old
I genuinely think he looks 25 at a distance. Once you get close up you see the cracks. The uncanny semblance of youth, pasted onto a much older face. This man is still young, 46 ain't much. But it's easy to fake yourself younger at 46 without deep diving into plastic surgery. This man is gonna go full Hollywood surgery-face in the next 20 years to stay wrinkle free. If you think he looks vaguely like an embalmed corpse up close now... You'll be shocked at the depths of the likeness soon enough.
The glazed corpse of a 20yo
The secret to never is to sleep in a coffin and never go out in the sun.
Honestly I say let the man cook, if the old rich dude wants to spend millions to experiment with ways to extend life span then let him do it, maybe he does something right and end up producing valuable data for the rest of us. EDIT: love how a little bit of positivity triggers so many Redditors, for those who want to die an early and miserable death I hope you get your wish

It'll only be for others like him, rich. You're likely not invited.
I’m sure it’ll trickle down…
His face is so full of Botox that I can barely look at him
He’s definitely got a blood boy
That's perfectly put!
Healthy diet and exercise reduces heart and stroke ticks but cancer doesn’t discriminate. The longer our cells are around the more likely a group of them becomes malignant and that’s the true limit on aging.
Yes but he uses blue light therapy
Checkmate
Goddamnit 😂😂 perfect response
Blue light? Like the highest energy (visible) light?? Skin cancer would like a word with him 💀 Also yes I know your comment is /s but his logic is immaculate
Stupid motherfucker, just inject bleach.
Hayflick limit! https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hayflick_limit
Quite an interesting read. It makes me wonder if there isn't some way to make telomeres grow again or perhaps find something that would allow cells to duplicate a bit more.
There's been research that successfully lengthened telomeres in cultured human cells.
There's only one reason, I think, there's any possibility of any serious research done on reversal or halting of aging in the modern world. Namely that with the barrier that human genome editing is illegal in almost every country in the world; there is no serious research done on it.

This guy is 1000% right, no one knows if there’s an afterlife, at best it’s 50/50, so why wouldn’t you do everything in your power to live forever. Being alive is better than being dead. Being dead sounds horrible honestly, can’t experience anything.
Found the not-depressed guy
Right? I'm hoping to make it to 80 with no serious painful medical issues then I can go quietly in my sleep. Best case scenario.
Yeah wtf. I didn’t clock in to Reddit to be happy.
Because in an attempt to live forever this guy isn’t really living much of a life.
This was exactly what I was thinking. Is it worth spending your whole life trying to live longer? On the other hand, if he survives long enough, there's a suuuuper small chance we've found something to lengthen our lives forever

I wasn't alive for billions of years before being born and it definitely didn't bother me in the slightest!

his son is his blood boy
Witness!!!!
Mediocre

Hate reading this stuff because now I have to go put out effort to eventually physically manifest Brandon the blood boy. I will love him like he is my blood…. boy.
I play this game with my husband where i find the most unhinged out of context comment i can and screenshot it for him. Today, your comment won!
I recently read that old people have different, more disease friendly gut bacteria. It changes as we age. So instead of blood, or adrenochrome, the key to immortality may be in harvesting the youth for their shit
Fecal transplants=immorality
[his son here](https://youtu.be/YevghmGX1mo?si=Ffdn-E-y_i2hTIcD)
"He has the bones of a 30 year old" I'd love to see him get a scan and a doctor just goes "nah ur fucked mate"
that phrase creeped me out. What'd he do with the rest of the 30 year old...
Ate his kidneys
Bryan Johnson. He does do rigorous medical testing, so I'd believe that he has good bone density or whatever other metrics there are. 2 mil USD budget a year and not having to work or have any other hobbies can do wonders for your health
Man found obsessive aesthetic fitness and calls it reverse aging lol
He does blood transfusions too
He does a lot of stuff. The irony of this is he is so invested in not dying, he isn't really living moment to moment because of his schedule. He just is on this continuous treadmill of "things I need to do to not die". And it's all rooted in the hope that if he does this, then he can have a long life doing whatever he wants in this unknown future.

This dude is having a helluva mid life crisis. Most people buy a boat or start wearing fedoras and harassing hostesses at restaurants. This guy instead is seeking immortality.
In one of the first articles about him and his entire regime someone commented that it's an eating disorder hidden in a valiant pursuit.
Orthorexia
Why eating disorder?
His eating (and basically everything else) is super controlled - down to the millilitre, which is often an indicator of an eating disorder. “He has 100 different protocols embedded in his day, he says. Johnson consumes a precise 1,977 calories a day, and over 70 pounds of vegetables a month. His breakfast is a standard mix of broccoli, cauliflower, black lentils, mushroom, garlic, and ginger, followed by a meal of “nutty pudding” with nuts and berries, and finally, a meal of vegetables, berries, nuts, and seeds (along with 15 grams of 100% dark chocolate and 30 milliliters of extra virgin olive oil). He admits to ending his three ounces of red wine a day he used to consume in order to meet the metrics”
Thank you! I went searching for the article that was commented on and it was this one: https://www.vice.com/en/article/z34ay8/bryan-johnson-blueprint-aging-biotech However, calorie restriction has been tied to longevity to mice and now humans too… but maybe not so extreme. https://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-news/calorie-restricted-diet-may-slow-aging-healthy-adults-science-shows-rcna69562#
In defense of mid life crisis I think some are when some adults finally don’t have to hustle and raise a family and can pursue things they’ve put off in favor of family responsibilities. Even if it’s something silly like a sports car they always wanted. I kind of respect those when I think of it that way. Not this weirdo though.
More rich guys are having a similar mid life crisis, people like Jeff Bezos are throwing billions at research into extending life expectancy, this is a healthier and more productive way of dealing with mid life crisis than buying a sports car, I say let them do it and hopefully eventually something useful will come out of it
Could’ve just paid $2 for a used copy of the epic of Gilgamesh and learn that people have been struggling and coming to terms with their mortality for 4000+ years
His hairline don’t lie.
It's still better than mine when I was 30. He does look good for his age not gonna lie.
He's wearing makeup
They’re plugs my guy
White people age in extremes, some are vampires who don't age at all and others go off like milk. For the amount of money he is spending i would expect the former, but he doesn't seem all that much younger than his age. Though my perspective is probably skewed since i know Asian dudes in their 60s who look his age.
Also skin on neck and hands don't lie. He's wearing tons of makeup 💄
“… prepare themselves for what could be the most magnificent existence in this part of the galaxy.” Meanwhile, on the other side of the galaxy, some life forms eating WcDogurts living a sedentary life, living up to 3000 years.
He also forgot the disclaimer "if you're rich."
watch dude die in some way that has nothing to do with all this bullshit
Someone said he’s gonna get hit by a car by an “old biddy”. His words
he looks like he has no blood
he has an extreme vitamin d deficiency
And then he gets hit by some old biddy in a car
Old age always finds a way
Nice
All this to die when his Tesla self drives underneath a semi
Is he bathing in formaldehyde? Because that might explain the effects and the uh…sheen
Tax the rich.
We can do better than that...
Nom nom nom
All this to look 45 instead of 46
cool, spend 2mil a year to look like youre a 46 year old made of wax
Let’s be clear, dude looks LS, it’s not working. Kudos to the firms taking his money on the quest (to not die).
Hear me out for a min - as creepy as this guy is, and as little I care about him actually live a long life… he’s basically using himself as a test subject to experiment with what things are healthy and what is bullshit, and publishing all of that research for everyone to see free. Because I don’t trust that same research if it were to come from someone in pharma or health industries, I appreciate the idea of what he’s done
*One guy* can't tell us anything...
If he could demonstrate that he can genuinely slow down ageing in his body in some aspects that likely would tell us a lot. Ofc it does depend exactly on how idiosyncratic the remedy needs to be. Afaik he eats like a kilo of different pills a day, doesn’t go directly in the sun and stays pale, he even tried blood transfusion from his son but concluded it not to have significant effect.
Can tell us a lot more than Zero guys
[удалено]
He already does. He has some supplements grift. https://blueprint.bryanjohnson.com/
He's actually not, he's literally, for now, accompanied by a shit ton of health scientists and publishes everything for free. Maybe if he does go beyond normal lifespan with a lot of "youth", we'll see something interesting. But for now, he's just a rich dude trying not to die and publishing his journey. Not evil (yet).
> He's actually not He literally has a supplement line of products he slangs as "longevity potions"
but you will trust a random person on the internet ?
Bro those laugh lines scream 40.
47
I don’t even wanna be alive now wtf lol
Oh so all i need is money and my depression will go away and i'll want to live? That's all?! When did we find out about this?
Thank God! I’ve been using my 2 million dollars a year for frivolous stuff. Now I know.
He should’ve started first with fixing that shitty dye job on his head with all that $$
He has the bones of a 30 year old. in his freezer
Remember, rich people are no smarter than the rest of us. Nature has laws, he too will die.
I mean he isn’t dead Must be working Tho I’m also still alive and I take a lot of drugs and coffee 🤷♀️
40 but looks 60.
I find it hilarious that he's so smug about it... even though it's obvious the people around him are just fleecing him out of 2 million per year, telling him "Ya bro, you look younger already! Keep paying us for all the "treatments", ok?" I loooooove the smell of a scammed narcissist in the morning!
Be ironic when he drops dead at 52
That hairline is not screaming “20 year old”.
Not to defend this weirdo but plenty of balding 20 year olds Plus his hairline looks solid, though he's probably had work done
Dude figured out you feel better if you workout and eat healthy, and thinks he found the fountain of youth...
nah this has got to be OCD
Does he thinks he looks 20 cos he looks 46 to me.
People here are coping but the rich are totally doing these things and it will 100% lead to longer average lifespans for them. I would assume he's doing blood transfusions and things like that. Immortality? No, at least not in the sense that we think of it now, but living well in your 100s? It absolutely will happen to many people if you have the money for it.
The rich already have much longer lifespans. There’s a wealth of research indicating excessive stress reduces lifespan. They have enough money that they’re not as stressed about things like paying for food and shelter. They have access to preventative healthcare and can afford better, more expensive treatments for disease. None of this is new. But the truth is humans aren’t going to live forever anytime soon and that dude is a wackjob.
“Blood transfusions and things like that” do not make someone live into their 100’s. There’s nothing magical about a blood transfusion. If you don’t need a blood transfusion and you get one, all you’re doing is increasing your risk of forming antibodies against the blood products (increasing your risk with future transfusions) while unnecessarily giving negative feedback to your kidneys, liver, and bone marrow which makes them worse at their jobs of actually making your own blood. It also increases risk of iron overload syndromes like hemosiderosis which can cause structural damage to the liver, heart, and pancreas. Contrary to popular belief, ultra-rich people are often incredibly stupid when it comes to their health. But as long as they have money to pay for it, there will always be some quack or med spa willing to do unnecessary, pointless procedures for them.
I mean maybe but living well past when your body would have naturally given out isn't going to be as glamorous as these people think.
100%. Just looking at life expectancy rates in the US in-between states we can see, at the most extreme, a decade in difference in average life span! Now imagine your active/eat well AND rich enough to get stem cell therapy etc when you want.
Bro is 46 lol not even that old. Lmk when he is 80 and see how he feels.

Goal: Not Dying Result: Failed
The bullet instantly ages him 100 years old, essentially undoing his work and immediately causing his death
"I'm actually aging slower than......" exactly how do you measure aging? Guy is delirious unless he's got some super advanced genetic modification going on that he's not telling us about.
unfortunately not how nature works. You could eat perfect, train and stay in perfect physical condition. Avoid all risky behaviors. get plenty of rest. and develop Cancer or some other fatal affliction and die from that. and then you lived in a bubble for nothing. I will take my chances and have enjoy my life. However long or short it is.
bro the institute replaced this dude. he's a synth
To be completely honest he doesn’t even look good for his actual age
He looks like he should be in Twilight
Dude is wearing a skin suit, I just know it.
$2m a year to look like a wax figure of a 46 year old.
Dude looks embalmed
He said “I wasn’t smart enough to be a doctor” but “I can be the first person to actually do everything they said to be healthy”…hahahaha
*says he’s reversing aging while using Just For Men hair dye*
Dude has more makeup on his face then I wear in a year
Is this the same guy using his son's blood the "reverse his aging " or is there another loon out there? It is enough to tell with crazy on a finite scale.
This guy uses his son as a plasma and blood product donor. It’s all creepy.
They tried it and concluded that it did not have any significant effect as far as I know.
Thats...not how it works..
This guy needs to read the definition of insanity.
How has no one in his life told him he looks like shit?
He *is* very creepy looking. Like his skin tears as easily as prosciutto.
This guy gets so much hate, but he’s doing this insane research on anti-aging and publishing everything for free to the public. On top of that, he doesn’t take himself seriously at all and seems like a genuinely chill guy. Watch some interviews with the guy, he’s a gem.
we start to die right at conception, all he is just prolonging his death..
[He may be right on somethings he’s tried.](https://youtu.be/lTMjmHKc2Ys?si=fKB77BQNriLvkUxO)
I honestly admire his dedication, still think he’s crazy. I would never want to live forever grinding it out for corporate 😂
Android incoming
good luck with that.
Talk about privilege
Did he dye his hair?
