@sun I don't even know who this guy is tbh? I saw a post about him on /pol/ the other day about his stomach issue Can someone give me more context who Bryan Johnson is?
@sun The guy is single-handedly carrying the hopes and dreams of the alchemists of yore. I don't dislike him for that, and I find it's reasonable that he's eccentric in his ways. At least I don't know anything particularly egregious about him.
@sun well that's ironic that's for sure. You can keep trying fight to extend your life but you're only given the limited time you have may as well make the most of it. I won't lie my outlook on it kinda changed after my dad died and he died pretty young. I'm kinda bitter about that still since I feel like he was unfairly robbed of his golden years. Though the time he was here he did do a lot and had a very fulfilling life and he atleast told me he didn't go with any regrets. I still really miss him though :/
@lain sometimes I make jokes taht tangentially reference someones death but I really decided recently I don't want to celebrate anyone's no matter how much I dislike them
48 year old tech bro spends millions to live forever. And he's been getting blood transfusions from his son. WTF. Would have himself cloned just so he could have something to eat.
Surprise! Rare disease has something else in mind for him.
@slipgate@sun He doesn't really do his own public image any favors and I'm not going to play the devil's advocate for him. However, I do wish for the total destruction of sensationalist media outlets. I don't know if any media outlets would survive, but that's a sacrifice I'm willing to make.
@cinerion@sun The only weird thing I know about Johnson is his post comparing his son's and his own erection times during sleep. I get that it's correlated to deep sleep and whatever, but why phrase it in such a creepy fucking way?
Aside from that, I'm not gonna shit on the guy who's using his own money to be a human guinea pig essentially. It's a lot better than power liches on their 7th heart transplant running the same kinds of experiments with the same goal on the general population through shady means.
