I like that he's willing to really fuck up his own body to see what happens. I don’t like that he's peddling supplements.

But he's involving so many variables, is his data even useful? I don't understand how you could extrapolate anything from a guy who takes so many supplements that may cause conflicting outcomes.

This isn't real research ... it's just a millionaire spending money on trying to live longer for themselves while selling and marketing products on the side.

If it were real research, it would involve a group of recognized researchers and scientists testing products and activities on a small group of volunteers who are fully aware of what they are participating in. And the research has to last for several years using multiple controls.

Watching one guy testing and trying out a few things whenever he feels like it and done at his own whim and under only his opinion and likes and dislikes is not research.

The biggest contribution he has to longevity is in promoting and advertising the fact that one of the ways to extend your lifespan is to become a millionaire.

It's one guy who is going through like a million treatments.

It's cool that the data is available but what helpful information can be gained from it other than "what happens if you do jackass but healthy?"

A sample size of one is pretty much useless. The only good thing to come out of his work is the publicity and public interest in anti aging imo.

I just watched this movie again today, wasn’t expecting a meme of it so quickly!

The salesman: "anti-what?"

My guess would be Uncle Rico from Napoleon Dynamite.

I don't usually like salespeople, but this one I like a lot.

I'm choosing to read that as someone is screwing with him.

It's so completely unfair that idiots like this guy make millions of snake oil "experiments" that don't even work, but people who dedicate all their time and energy into a labor of love are left to rot

People who are obsessed with some physical quality about themselves always make whatever the issue is, like 1000% worse than if they just left it alone and lived normally.

His face looks old enough to make his hair look unnatural.

What an efficient allocation of capital!

Would be nice if the dude just went ahead and dove into taoist alchemy instead of trying to create a veneer of actual science.

Why does he suck though? Aren't we all conducting uncontrolled trials on ourselves? Better that, than doing it on other people, right?

That’s the thing, he might live a bit longer but at what cost? I would much rather enjoy my life than by a slave to a miserable routine dedicated to promoting longevity that will potentially buy me an extra decade. Like I can just eat a somewhat reasonable diet, exercise, sleep okay and with decent genetics based on my parents and grandparents I will probably make it to at least mid to late 80s, maybe longer if medicine advances. If I had genetics that suggested a strong likelihood that I would die in my 60s I would maybe be more interested

With this guys routine I could maybe push that to 100ish? I would certainly love to extend my life but not at the cost of it consuming my life. I assume he’s banking on getting to the theoretical max though, which is probably closer to 120ish, and that is substantial but then it’s like a few decades of extremely decreased mobility and mental acuity? Eh

And of course this all disregards the potential that you get cancer, murdered, car accident, etc.

I can imagine that having a hyperfocus on anti-aging and unstoppably aging at the same time, must be really stressful and at the end of the day, ends up contributing to a faster aging overall.
