    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.

      9.5 out of 10. In his dick.

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

        “You get to live forever but in exchange you have to get incredibly painful injections in your dick on a daily basis.”

        Sounds like a cursed genie wish.

        Probably because he knows he can’t take his wealth with him in death.

        What’s the point of being pointlessly wealthy if you can’t be pointlessly wealthy forever?

        My guess is he wants to live forever because he feels he has made no contribution to the world, or does not feel a sense of fulfillment and purpose from raising his family. Maybe he feels cracking the secret could be his contribution, or maybe he thinks he can find meaning in his life, given enough time.

      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.

      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 completely normal father-son bonding. Find a different slant.

    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

    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.

    I don’t mind this guy. He’s basically committing his time, money, and body towards being a guinea pig exploring means that could benefit us all. I do understand there are some arguments to be had about some less-than-scientific approaches to his experiments, but I don’t think it totally negates the value.

    Also, oh no, talking openly about penis health is uncomfortable to puritanical Western norms.

      Talking about your dick is one thing. Talking about your sons dick and using your sons blood is just fucking creepy. Hope the kid gets good therapy for this crazy shit.

      Yeah I don’t know enough about him, just glances at bits of content over time, but I agree. History is full of such over enthusiastic tinkerers who subject themselves to ridiculous experiments but every now and then they learn something useful. It is cringeworthy, though, and not ok if foisted on others.

      I like when Ordinary Things had a look at him. I can’t help but agree with his effort, even if his methods and theories leave a lot to be desired.

        On a scale of billionaires most destructive to society, he seems to be very low on the list. One might argue he’s on the list of ones at least being minorly beneficial.

        But, you know, people will hate. And those people are also likely contributing little of value to society.

      Hey, for real, tho. You should quit smoking. Just get the starter pack of chantix, follow the directions, and be sure to eat before taking it. It’s really not that hard and the stupid chantix side effects go away once you stopped taking it.

      I want to see this happen. You can do it. And if trump brings down the whole house we can both go grab a pack of cigs.

    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.

    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.

      To avoid the popup shit:

      Open page immediately Ctrl A then paste in a text editor
