The eccentric former tech CEO famous for his anti-aging efforts compared his nocturnal erections to his 19-year-old son’s.

      Just not the dick. According to this article he gets weekly penis injections, but it doesn’t say of what.

    On a related note, I was just searching fdroid for a signal app. I didn’t find one, but I did find an app that tracks your Morning Wood

    The dude gets weekly dick injections which he classifies as 9.5 out of 10 on a pain scale.

    Weekly.

    Dude is a fucking moron.

      I truly hope that these people start getting massive organ failure and shit because of all of this experimental garbage they put into their bodies.

      It’s like those showerthought ultimatums : You can choose to gain eternal life, but every day your dick is the subject of the worst pain you’ve ever felt.

      9.5 out of 10. In his dick.

      Has anyone asked him why he wants to live forever if that’s what it takes?

    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.

    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

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

      Yeah that’s pretty much why.

      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.

          if you don’t want to die now, and you don’t want to live forever, is there some specific age/time you would like to die, if you didn’t have to?

            It’s an interesting question.

            After thinking over it briefly, I believe I’d like to die when I’m ready to die. I can’t declare in advance when that would be age- or time-wise and I can’t even necessarily define the conditions that would make me feel ready, as I’ve never yet felt ready to die.

            Right now, I have a little kid and a decent quality of life. I don’t want to die until my kid can be on their own and I don’t think I’d want to live after my quality of life declined past a certain point though, again, I can’t say yet what that point would be.

            I’m sorry, I know this is an unsatisfactory answer, but it’s the best I have at the moment. I’ll try to pontificate on the matter and get back to you if I come up with anything better.

              do you want your kid to die someday as well? what if your quality of life didn’t have to become bad? immortalists such as myself (that is, people who don’t want people to have to die, and support scientific efforts to make that a reality) don’t want people to just, like, persist in a state of unending geriatric decrepitude, we want folks to be able to live as long and healthy lives as possible.

        I don’t wanna live forever. But the act of dying is usually pretty horrible, so I wanna push that off as long as possible.

          pushing off dying as long as possible, if done successfully, is living forever though? do you not see the contradiction in what you wrote?

            No. Humans aren’t psychically able to be immortal without genetic engineering, which as far as the public knows, we don’t have yet. Certain death is currently hard codded into our genes. Since I wasn’t genetically modified as an embryo, I cannot live forever.

              i feel like you’ve shifted the goalposts, here. previously, you said you didn’t want to live forever, now you’re just saying you can’t live forever.

              also, we absolutely do have genetic engineering. it’s been a thing since the 70s. the covid-19 vaccine, for instance, was a feat of genetic engineering. furthermore, techniques such as gene therapy can indeed modify the genetic information of adults.

              P.S. i assumed you meant physically, rather than psychically, but if you did mean the latter, then i have no idea what you’re talking about.

                I can’t live forever. But I also don’t want to. The two aren’t mutually exclusive. And yes, we have genetic engineering, but nothing so far that would make humans immortal.

    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.

      i didn’t get any prompts, and read the article, so i’ll quickly answer.

      1. the guy is obsessed with penile behaviour as a measure of overall health, for some reason, and measured the nocturnal boners of himself, as well as his 19 year old son, as a point of comparison.
      2. the son shared his dick metrics himself. seems he’s well and fully invested in his father’s phallocentric longevity scheme.

    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.
