    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.

      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

          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.

              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.

              Why would you attack someone who’s trying to help find what helps people live longer?

                "He shows what is beneficial, what’s increasing his longevity. " How?

                How would we know his longevity has increased and not decreased? How would we know which of the myriad of variables, or which combination of variables, was responsible for the increase (or decrease)? Not following the scientific method, won’t produce useful data. As someone said, anecdotes.

                  By taking readings and measurements of the human body. Seeing if your in an increased healthy state.

                  There are markers which shows the health of the body.

                    Yes, I understand, annual medical checkups including blood tests, ekg, eeg, etc. provide readings and measurement that measure an individuals general health. That was not the focus of the question.

                    The how I am asking is how measurements of his condition tell us which of the multiple concurrent changes he made are effective and which had no effect, or perhaps even a negative counter effect? How is this providing useful data?

                What decreases issues, what increase years a live on this planet.

                Can’t do that with a sample size of one, because there isn’t a comparison to know if it is longer or not.
