"I dont even know what it means, but its provocative" type picture

My picture that says "๐Ÿšจ I HAVE NO MICROPLASTICS IN MY BALLS ๐Ÿšจ

This should not be possible.

Studies show that 100% of men have microplastics in their semen. I am the first human ever to show a complete reduction to zero.

This may be a world-first breakthrough in fertility research.

I had 165 microplastic particles in my semen just 18 months ago. Now, I have zero." has one person asking a lot of questions already answered by my picture.

This quote is from Bryan Johnson, yeah? Props to him for demonstrating the solutions that should be universalized to improve everyone's health.

Just a magnificently long string of words arranged in that order for god knows what reason.

I think he relies a lot on shock factor in his social media posts to get people to understand the importance of adopting better health habits. People tune out when you simply tell them to have healthy habits. If this wasn't the case, we would all be listening to the American Heart Association and living with perfect health. However, when you tell people that their unhealthy food and bad sleep cause their sperm to die, then they start paying attention.

I do think his work on building systems for human longevity is ultimately a net good for the world. The work he does today can be universalized after socialism for all workers, such as providing yearly resort trips for workers to go detox and get healthy. Until then, the path he is forging is probably the best path for longevity possible without changing the economic system.
