I appreciate his data collection and experimentation, although plenty of the data is anecdotal and the number of simultaneous experiments in a complex system is gonna make parsing out protocols a chore.
I agree with you and don’t know why people pile on against you. Is the guy cringey? Sure. Would it be more useful to humanity if he just donated his money to existing and more reputable research? For sure. But he’s just tinkering on himself, which is his right, and shares what he learns.
Is he misguided and a quack who may not learn anything? Maybe, but sometimes it’s the crazy folks who go against the grain that stumble on some good ideas.
Also, if anything he tries is interesting, yes of course he’s just a sample size of 1 - the idea is that other people could research it further.
(I think him roping other people in like his kid isn’t great)
And also he seems to be mixing “experiments” concurrently. How does he know what worked and what didn’t if he has 30+ variables to account for all the time? xd
And what useful data comes from one rich asshole trying EVERYTHING? This is not science, it’s existential desperation sprinkled on a soufflé of wealth and cringe.
People are upset because this person has the means to effect real altruistic change but instead is pretending to do science in a purely selfish effort.
I hope that explains it. I have no horse in this race.
Well yeah he’s trying many things at once because he wants to extend his life and live the greatest lifestyle. It’s not 100% an experiment. Some of it is just trying to live a longer life through healthy options.
He can read the results for different areas. Ie sleep, how long, when and how that affects his well being.
He’s trying to do a good thing and ask you guys can do is bitterly try and tear it down. I think you guys have an agenda.
You’re just trying to be antagonistic now. It’s the data sets. He shows what is beneficial, what’s increasing his longevity. It’s not that hard to comprehend. What decreases issues, what increase years a live on this planet.
Why would you attack someone who’s trying to help find what helps people live longer?
It’s not an option though. It’s an attack. They’re just attacking his personality, or calling him names. That’s not opinion, that’s just trying to smear the guy.
They’re bad faith arguments.
Calling him a rich ar*ehole isn’t an opinion. It’s just being rude.
Why are you so confused by this? It’s not at all as difficult as you’re trying to make it seem.
You’re literally in a public forum trying to project your assertions about another person merely because you don’t agree with them. It’s perplexing, really.
You fail to understand one of the simplest characteristics of the human species, and that is they’re not actually required to behave as you believe they should, and many understandably won’t.
I reassert my original advice to you to broaden your horizons to endeavor to interact with others more and more meaningfully, so as to familiarize yourself with, and become much better accustomed to, the plethora of human personalities. You’ll thank me, I assure you.

I’m open to having my mind changed if you can provide evidence of billionaires that accumulated their massive wealth by using non-exploitative practices
I mean he’s trying to find the healthiest things to help people live longer.
I’m not sure about the dick thing. But he’s carrying out many experiments with food, sleep habits etc.
Although you’re only focusing on the erection thing. Which seems a small part of the research.
I don’t think he deserves backlash for trying to help people generally

that 2nd sentence is pure poetry 👌
Why are you so angry at him?
He’s literally trying to make people live longer.
I don’t see why you’re calling him vulgar names.
He’s trying many things to see what works and what doesn’t.
Your vitriol seems misplaced and I don’t understand your aggression towards someone trying to be helpful to society in general. It’s bizarre.

It’s the opposite of selfish, he’s publishing all of this findings to the internet for everyone to see and use.
It’s not pretend, he’s actually carrying out methodology, posting results and showing what’s effective

He is posting shitty anecdotes.
No it’s the actual data sets
No, you don’t understand science.

On the plus side, we now have at least some evidence that Bryan Johnson is on Lemmy! 🤣
You’re just trying to be antagonistic now. It’s the data sets. He shows what is beneficial, what’s increasing his longevity. It’s not that hard to comprehend. What decreases issues, what increase years a live on this planet.

You can simplify all of this just by saying you’re a big fan of the guy.
Literally everything in your reply is some extremely weird projection trying to invalidate another person’s opinion, and it’s incredibly strange.
Honestly, you come across as a person who hasn’t had much interaction with different opinions, perspectives, and personalities.
It’s not an option though. It’s an attack. They’re just attacking his personality, or calling him names. That’s not opinion, that’s just trying to smear the guy.

Because it seems they’re just trying to smear him. They’re attacking him for no logical reason.

You really will.
Which people is he “trying to help”?
Anyone and everyone that is interested in longevity.
Ooohh I’m sorry. “Himself” was the answer. Good game, thanks for playing.
He’s helping himself by publishing the results for everyone? That doesn’t even make sense.
You’re being obtuse and and I question your intentions in have a good faith argument.

So without knowing any of the results, they’re invalid? That makes no sense
Multiple people have already told why that “data” is useless. Why are you defending this guy so hard?
Because he’s trying to do something good. Why are you attacking him so hard?
Experiments with a sample size of 1 are basically useless.
Billionaires don’t help people. They find ways to capitalize on people
That’s a generalisation
I’m open to having my mind changed if you can provide evidence of billionaires that accumulated their massive wealth by using non-exploitative practices
