i saw him on two separate youtube channels: Magnus Midtbø (norwegian climber) and Will Tennyson (bodybuilding vlogger)

in both cases, they were invited by Bryan Johnson to his lair, going through his routine. it felt like a surreal cringe fest of zero social awareness. Bryan was permanently looking for some kind of validation, comparing his skills to his guest, or asking the various personal trainers / doctors if he beat some younger age category, etc.

everything he does can't be healthy and i wouldn't call what he does "living". he's bound to a 24h program where everything is planned down to the minute.

I don't mind this guy. He's basically committing his time, money, and body towards being a guinea pig exploring means that could benefit us all. I do understand there are some arguments to be had about some less-than-scientific approaches to his experiments, but I don't think it totally negates the value.

Also, oh no, talking openly about penis health is uncomfortable to puritanical Western norms.

Sucks for this guy. I’m close to his age, I drank and smoked heavily for years and I look about the age he does

I couldn't get through more than about a paragraph before getting prompted to subscribe so I'm still little confused.

Why get measurements of your child's erections in the first place? How does this son feel about his PHI being shared all over the internet? Hard to imagine anyone being okay with that.

While I do kind of like the idea of having data on random bodily functions like erections, can't say I'd be willing to share that data with my parents or the world.

Jesus fuck. Why would anyone want to live forever, anyway?

[–] juliebean@lemm.ee 3 points 1 day ago (9 children)

i think most people don't really want to die. and they like living for all sorts of reasons. i hope you can think of at least a few reasons you'd like to go on living as well.

Would you like to live one extra year than your otherwise normal lifespan? Yeah?

Yeah that's pretty much why.
