he has used his own teenage son’s blood to test whether transfusions from a younger person had any direct health benefit on someone his age (he has since discovered that they do not)
Imagine if it worked, though. This dude would have a basement full of teenagers, their blood being siphoned for his own twisted purpose.
I can’t wait for him to sacrifice his son to save prolong his own life (how noble)
Kinda like the book “the house of the scorpion”
Not only him, but other rich people too. Glad that didn’t work
I mean, if it did work he’d have a pretty strong motive to claim that it didn’t.
I love how millionaires think they can cheat death, just because they have money.
Let them try. Maybe some of that money will go to researching something useful like cancer treatments.
Here’s how you can do what he wants to do:
- 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.
- 5 days a week minimum 1 hr walk.
- Poop daily. There’s exercises to help, but a 1 hr walk should get you moving.
- That’s really it, you will reduce your biological age because the weak old cells die during exercise. -get to it chubby.
My body tells me to devour six packs of sour gummi bears every afternoon.
Most of the things you read about on this topic are verging on pseudoscience (because nearly everything diet based is) and you’re going to have to feel out how it works for you if you want to look into it, but we think the cravings you have are more about what your brain thinks are the best ways to get specific things.
So, while you’re craving ‘sour gummi bears’, what your brain actually wants might be a specific vitamin or mineral that your brain thinks it can get from that and it’s likely to have an alternate healthy source. Real hard to put into practice and change how you approach that though.
I can’t wait to read “Longevity-Obsessed tech millionaire dies of natural causes at 72 years old.”
Something something Steve Jobs.
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.
You mean at 60 from a cancer with all the sketchy garbage his body had to assimilate?
I remember him taking snake venom injections ffs
That would be funny
54
Now now, I’m not trying to be too cruel. Guy hasn’t done anything to upset me.
I just know in my heart that he will die like the rest of us.

This will not end well for him. He’s doing a bunch of experiments, all at once, with a sample size of one.
This is how we get mutated supervillains
Finally!
You really want to live in a world with supervillains and few heroes, let alone any superheroes?
I don’t think we’ll have a choice.
Sure, but that other person expressed joy. I’m questioning the nature of that joy, not their agency.
Shhhhh, shhhhh, let him cook…himself.
“The attempt on my life has left me scarred”
This just in, drugs have side effects and aging is very complex.
Dude, get a normal fucking hobby.
Is it not normal to look up to Dorian Gray?
IMMORTALITY!
If you’re immortal, your can play through ALL normal hobbies - twice!
Check mate, mortal!
That’s a shame, rapamycin had a lot of promising studies.
This dude takes a ton of pills a day and uses his son’s blood, but still looks older than some Asians several years older than him.
Or Paul Rudd, who is nearly 10 years older. Some people just age better than others.
It might be more science-y if he had an identical twin and only one of them was getting the supplements.
He’s looking like a Dollar Store Data
Anecdota
He could be spending this fortune on real medical research. What an asshole.
He’s “only” a centimillionaire, a single clinical trial can cost >$20m.
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?
Why? He’s publishing his results,
It’s quackery though. He’s not actually doing good science.
I hope that guy comes to terms with his mortality. I struggle with aging with every creature around me and myself.
I don’t struggle with it at all, it happens all by itself without need of intervention
It’s very practical in that way.
I look forward to it (my own mortality) being a nice surprise.
Hopefully a very long time from now.
I’m the meantime, anyone want to buy my book on immortality? It has worked perfectly… So far.
Dude took an immunosuppressant for five years to try and live longer.
I mean… when you say it out loud, sure that does seem misguided…
Just join the American senate like the rest of the eternals
Ok, I’m gonna go out on a limb and say it was probably just time that aged him.
Drugs aside, that time thing is hard to avoid.
