    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.

    Here’s how you can do what he wants to do:

    1. 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.
    2. 5 days a week minimum 1 hr walk.
    3. Poop daily. There’s exercises to help, but a 1 hr walk should get you moving.
    4. That’s really it, you will reduce your biological age because the weak old cells die during exercise. -get to it chubby.

    Ok, I’m gonna go out on a limb and say it was probably just time that aged him.

    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

    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.

        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.

    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.

        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.

      Why? He’s publishing his results, it’s a good data point. He’s a human trial on safety of some of these drugs. And it’s his money after all.

      Many of the substances these people try end up being valuable for people with chronic fatigue and related autoimmune diseases.

      Does it really matter whether he’s driven by selfishness or by the desire to help others? Are all researchers purely altruistic?
