This is going to sound mean OK. But that billionaire anti aging guy on the left? No one has ever looked their age more. He's even wearing mid life crisis fits.

[–] space_comrade@hexbear.net 21 points 1 day ago (3 children)

I mean ngl the dude looks good for his age, he's 47 now and on average people look worse at that age.

That said what he's doing is absolutely deranged and he's completely lost in the sauce, I've seen a video clip where he explains that ackshly he's doing this to advance humanity and pave the way to a bright new future or something, typical techbro messiah complex bullshit. His mormon upbringing probably didn't help either.

He doesn't though? I mean he's in good shape, but he doesn't look younger than he is. He looks his age. He looks like a guy in his late 40s early 50s who is relatively healthy.

[–] hotcouchguy@hexbear.net 21 points 1 day ago

He just looks Mormon

[–] space_comrade@hexbear.net 13 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Eh idk maybe people around me are built different or something but just assuming he's an average dude I'd say he's like early 40s, he doesn't look amazingly young for his actual age but still better than average. I agree that with the amount of crazy shit he's doing to his body you'd expect him to look 25 lmao.

He did a video with Will Tennyson and he looked like a ghoul in it. He eats like 1200 calories a day and barely leaves the house due to air quality reasons. Not to diagnose him or anything but that video made me believe he has a severe case of OCD that his money allows him to enable it to the extremes.

[–] AnarchoAnarchist@hexbear.net 9 points 1 day ago

He's a modern-day Howard Hughes, but instead of stockpiling bottles of urine he takes a hundred vitamins a day. And instead of banging ridiculously attractive women, he measures his son's erections.

Evergreen Marx strikes again: First as tragedy, then as farce.

[–] LoveWitch@hexbear.net 6 points 1 day ago

He looks good as in he looks 40s but moisturized

[–] AnarchoAnarchist@hexbear.net 12 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

He has defended his ridiculous routine, one that leaves at most a couple hours of free time a day, as an experiment. He claims to be a guinea pig testing live extending strategies for all of us.

But. He isn't doing this "experiment" scientifically. If he lives to 150 years old. He will not be able to pinpoint which of the hundreds of supplements he takes daily resulted in his longevity. He will not be able to say if it was the different treatments or the multiple hours of exercise. If he is still in good health at 175 years old, the only advice he will be able to give, is to dedicate 22 hours of every day to a ridiculously expensive self-care routine, that has been tested on one person, with no control groups, and that requires constantly stealing blood from your child.

In theory, running a scientific experiment on yourself in order to better understand how to increase human life spans would be noble. But what he's doing has the scientific rigor of throwing a hundred different things at the wall and seeing which one might stick. This isn't carefully considering how to increase the quality of life for people, it's a vanity project from a man who knows that the fires of hell await him and is doing everything he can to avoid his eternal fate.

Of course, there's still a very good chance that anyone of the hundreds of supplements that he's taking is actually shortening his life. I look forward to reading about his liver failing in the next couple years.

[–] dil@hexbear.net 1 points 15 hours ago

If dude lives to be 150, that absolutely advances science!

No, we won't know which of his wacky hijinks did it, but we will learn that it is possible and that some combination of the stuff he did actually works.

The science would then be mechanical: try different combinations of his experiments, and see what makes people's lives longer.

He's got an experiment population of exactly one. The only way for his one lifespan to be relevant to science is if it is a historic outlier.

One of the man's top employees is a brand narrative marketing expert and would you believe he sells the same never-die supplements he claims to take?

Something about this really hammered home how body modification is completely acceptable for the rich but not the poor

[–] bort@hexbear.net 13 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It's acceptable for the poor, it's just not particularly accessible for the poor.

Eh, piercings and tattoos will make you unemployable if you're working class, but if you're Pete Davidson or Machine Gun Kelly that's your whole shtick

[–] WizardOfLoneliness@hexbear.net 8 points 1 day ago (2 children)

piercings and tattoos will make you unemployable if you're working class

Im pretty sure this hasn't been true for at least a decade unless you have FUCK tattooed on your neck or something

Depends what sector, feels like the rules don't apply if you're corporate enough but where I'm from people-facing jobs demand them to be covered up

one Xmas my sister gave me some set of skincare products that, if i followed the 2x daily routine, would make the skin of my face look really soft and dewy like that guy's. it really any marvel movie celeb during a close up.

I used them for a month to humor her. it's like a whole ordeal. coincidentally (or not) the stuff was all from occupied puppet Korea.

personally, I could take it or leave it. and since it was a bunch of extra shit all over the bathroom counter and just another thing to periodically buy more of, I decided to leave it.

I'm more interested in strategies and creating habits around eating well, getting some exercise every day, and maintaining my living area and my person to functional and hygienic standards instead of getting too caught up in chasing youth as an aesthetic.

there are a million and one voices blasting from every outlet at me daily telling me I'm eccentric or just wrong... that I should just eat the triple decker cheese burger, take metabolic pills, and get a chemical skin peel.

Sorry for the ableist video title, but Yeonmi Park is infamous as a DPRK dissident who's exaggeration embarrasses even liberals.

Bryan Johnson and Yeonmi Park

He must be working with her for a guest appearance on citations-needed

[–] ButtBidet@hexbear.net 9 points 1 day ago

Didn't they break up? I can't imagine that either one is easy going in a relationship.
