It’s almost like scientists are on to something when they wait for double blind randomizied control trials results before declaring effectiveness of a medicine.
I just hope that he’s got nice decent medical advisors working with actual doctors and medical staff, so that all that money he’s throwing at this at least trickles down to people that deserve it.
He’s constantly checked with doctors and publishes the results.
Dude is another tech millionaire weirdo but may accidentally stumble upon some good data, maybe. Ordinary Things did a very interesting interview with him. Dude lives purely to hopefully extend his life, it’s weird.
No, his body just did that naturally.
Ok, I’m gonna go out on a limb and say it was probably just time that aged him.
Drugs aside, that time thing is hard to avoid.
Dude, get a normal fucking hobby.
IMMORTALITY!
If you’re immortal, your can play through ALL normal hobbies - twice!
Check mate, mortal!
This just in, drugs have side effects and aging is very complex.
I’m honestly just deeply interested in this guy every time I hear about him.
Not because I think he’s smart, on to something, or at all worthwhile though.
It’s just…. Kind of morbidly entertaining to watch a man spend so much time and money to deal with an obvious and incredible fear of death.
He’s going to die some day, and probably from one of these things he’s paying for to avoid dying. It’s Qin Shi Huang shit.
And, ya know what? There are some truly wonderful and interesting works of philosophy dealing with his exact problem, but our boy is too much of a tech bro to even consider that someone may have found a way to deal with the fear of death a few thousand years ago.
So, fuck it, burn that cash bud.
At least he’s using all of the anti aging treatments on himself like a lab rat. Only he will have to suffer if something goes terribly wrong. And maybe something does work and it’ll be actually useful to everyone else.
This is the same guy that’s using his teenage son as a blood donor too though right? That’s the part I’m not okay with.
Yeah that one was a bit fucked up, but at least he isn’t doing it anymore after finding out it does absolutely fuck all for him.
That’s where I’m at on this. The dude is a major dork for trying to de-age himself BUT, like you said, he’s the test subject! There’s a long and storied history of self-experimentation leading to discoveries.
I probably don’t support how he made his wealth (haven’t looked into it) but I support his freedom to do what he wants with his body.
Wouldn’t it be ironic if through his “research” he finds a working anti aging cream but it doesn’t work on him because of all the other shit he took, so he becomes the only one who ages.
If only.
I just hope that it wouldn’t be a treatment that would be only affordable to billionaires.
We don’t need the aristocrats to live forever.
Honestly he should just put his soul in a painting
Therapy is for poor people, inject me with cobra venom
Qin Shi Huang
Good reference
I would have so much more respect for this douche if he was doing all this in a legitimately scientific way with the purpose of benefiting humanity.
But nope, he’s just deeply insecure about aging and is fine with burning money and experimenting on himself in order to feel better about it.
What’s wrong with that? He’s a millionaire who’s experimenting on himself and reporting his findings? Definitely extreme but what value is there in hating the guy?
Let him be insecure and cope how he wants, he’s small fry compared to the billionaire problem at hand
yeah exactly, maybe he’ll find something useful along the way. At least the rich have (hopefully) stopped their usual “youth restoring” rituals like bathing in infant blood
He injected himself with his sons blood…
ah, nevermind
Don’t forget stealing his child’s blood.
Hey! They consented! Supposedly.
I’ll take “Coerced” for $500, Alex.
This will not end well for him. He’s doing a bunch of experiments, all at once, with a sample size of one.
Shhhhh, shhhhh, let him cook…himself.
This is how we get mutated supervillains
Finally!
You really want to live in a world with supervillains and few heroes, let alone any superheroes?
I don’t think we’ll have a choice.
Sure, but that other person expressed joy. I’m questioning the nature of that joy, not their agency.
I can’t wait to read “Longevity-Obsessed tech millionaire dies of natural causes at 72 years old.”
You mean at 60 from a cancer with all the sketchy garbage his body had to assimilate?
I remember him taking snake venom injections ffs
Something something Steve Jobs.
Still angry about how he basically gave himself pancreatic cancer by following an all fruit diet, then somehow managed to get a transplant before a bunch of way more deserving people. Only to die a few years later anyway.
That would be funny
54
Now now, I’m not trying to be too cruel. Guy hasn’t done anything to upset me.
I just know in my heart that he will die like the rest of us.
Here’s how you can do what he wants to do:
- Eat whatever your body tells you, but keep to not eating 1 hr before bed, and make sure to keep protein, nutrients, and minerals you need thru pills/smoothies.
- 5 days a week minimum 1 hr walk.
- Poop daily. There’s exercises to help, but a 1 hr walk should get you moving.
- That’s really it, you will reduce your biological age because the weak old cells die during exercise. -get to it chubby.
My body tells me to devour six packs of sour gummi bears every afternoon.
Most of the things you read about on this topic are verging on pseudoscience (because nearly everything diet based is) and you’re going to have to feel out how it works for you if you want to look into it, but we think the cravings you have are more about what your brain thinks are the best ways to get specific things.
So, while you’re craving ‘sour gummi bears’, what your brain actually wants might be a specific vitamin or mineral that your brain thinks it can get from that and it’s likely to have an alternate healthy source. Real hard to put into practice and change how you approach that though.
The funniest thing about this is that if he just transitioned he’d get ALL SORTS of age reduction benefits! I’ve been taking spironolactone and estradiol for about 9 months now, and everyone keeps asking me if I’m getting younger.
What
Those hormones affect fat distribution, which can make someone appear younger.
Oh
he has used his own teenage son’s blood to test whether transfusions from a younger person had any direct health benefit on someone his age (he has since discovered that they do not)
Imagine if it worked, though. This dude would have a basement full of teenagers, their blood being siphoned for his own twisted purpose.
I mean, if it did work he’d have a pretty strong motive to claim that it didn’t.
Not only him, but other rich people too. Glad that didn’t work
Kinda like the book “the house of the scorpion”
Bet you anything he has not tried plutonium. He should try plutonium. Harry Daghlian will live forever. In our hearts and textbooks.
This dude takes a ton of pills a day and uses his son’s blood, but still looks older than some Asians several years older than him.
He’s looking like a Dollar Store Data
Anecdota
