the angst and futility of trying to combat father time himself is probably ages you a lot.
nothing wrong with trying to stay healthy, fit and active for as long as possible, but metaphysically it's a retarded battle to pick. shit out some kids, find meaning and try to leave a positive impact on your way out. worrying sick about looking your biological age isn't fruitful behavior. try to instead look like a healthy 40 year old at 40 years of age, etc.

Quite the contrary.
If everybody was immortal we would be thinking long term about everything.
Criminal behaviour would be almost non existent.
It would be the most stable society to ever exist.

reminds me of Jim Fixx who wrote a book about the health benefits of running and he died at 52 because he got a stroke while running.
The fact that Bryan only started caring about all this bullshit in his 40s surely won't help

Running (excessively) has long been proven to be dangerous to your heart, testosterone levels, teeth and gut. I don't recall BJ actually doing anything actually extreme. The only thing that makes you think he's gonna die soon is that he's "tempting fate", right?
>>
>>76628563
If Wikipedia don't lie at his peak he weigh 214 pounds, sadly this seems to be normal fat on modern times.
>>
>>76628565
it's more about the fact that he's doing tons of experimental shit with his body and his diet is half vegan and half lab-made chemicals.
He also seemingly lives like an asocial vampire, meanwhile ultra-centenarians tend to be normal people who have kept and cultivated strong bonds with their friends and families

No, reasons he's going to die early:
- vegan (death sentence)
- on roids (death sentence)
- works out after 40 (death sentence)
- takes half the pharmacy in synthetic pills and untested supplements (death sentence)

Immortality has been desired by every single culture that has ever existed.
Any anti-immortality rhetoric is simply a cope after realising it is unattainbale for the time being and a way to signal how indifferent you supposedly are to everything else while hiding how much you deny life.

>>76628348
True immortality is impossible because every living being can be killed even if biologically it doesn't age.

So, criminal behaviour and all things chaotic would still occur, just way less frequently.
Murder would be a way more serious crime if aging was cured, taking a life from someone who could live and impact the world for thousands or millions of years would be catastrophic.

Without a philosophy of death, a person cannot have a philosophy of life.

The fact that every day is diminishing increases how special it is. If you were immortal there would be no reason to give a shit. Immortality is having lots of children and grand children who love you and represent your ideas. I for one don't want to live in a world where our politicians never die it's the only way to get rid of them.

Literally not true but okay. The existence of creatures like vampires and liches in folklore that demonize immortality just proves the opposite.

Not everyone is as afraid as receiving judgement as you are. The evil fear death the most, because as long as they're alive there's always a possibility for them to get away with their crimes.

Bryan Johnson doesn't understand proteomics very well, or he'd be on a lot more and different foods/supplements. Dave Pascoe is right about ultramarathoning, but Goatis is wrong about working out generally.

this is horrible I need a nurse to measure my boner right now OH GOD what if it got 0.1mm smaller since last week no wait don't measure it let me eat 30 vitamin tablets and run on the treadmill for 5 minutes also nurse are you sure that calipers is OK how I do know you're not taking it home at night and selling my DNA to north korean biohackers who will clone me and sell me on the black market you fucking MONSTER
wait wait I'm sorry I shouldn't have said please come back and measure my boner I'll give you a $5000 bonus or tell you waht I'll make it $7500 if you stay overnight and hold my hand, 2am is when the voices start up telling me to imagine myself lying cold and dead ona. slab and then being autopsied and then put in a box and isposed of instead of being welcomed through the gate of immortality aaauuughgghghghghghhuhuhuhu

Shit take and sour grapes. If tomorrow they discovered how to reverse DNA degredation and let people live indefinitely your ass would be in line for it. Why not? You can die whenever you decide you're fucking done, but wanting to see what happens tomorrow isn't some kind of degenerate perversion.

Anon the primary goal of Christianity is too achieve immortality in heaven and Chinese emperors would drink fucking mercury in pursuit of the Elixir of life. What do you mean immorality was demonized?

Realistically if it where made today, it would still take 20-40 years of guesswork to verify it. UNLESS it made mice biologically immortal straight off t he bat.
And glyNAC is already benchmarked to what... 20% over baseline? That is impressive

>there's absolute zero evidence that reversing or even stopping aging is possible but that doesn't mean it's not possible!! which basically means it is possible! you're just jealous!!!
>if they figured out how to reverse again tomorrow you'd do it!
yeah and if they discovered a way to solve every single problem ever tomorrow we'd all do it, that's not a fucking argument, the whole point is it's so laughably absurd of an attestation it's not worth the neurons to think about. All the brutal science in the world can't meaningfully, reliably double the lifespan of a fucking mouse, that's all that needs to be said on the subject, when they can reliably tell people they can double the lifespan of their beloved doggo woggos, then maybe we can have a conversation of the possibilities of meaningful extension of lifespan

until then, the "science will make me immortal" faggots should not only be laughed out of the room but beaten as well. it's such an astonishingly stupid thing to say it's worrying that anyone in the world ever has entertained it, fuck me
>>
>>76631173
If tomorrow that was discovered you are incredibly retarded to think some peon like you would even be afforded a drop of it.
The elite of the world would immediately take it for themselves and establish a hierarchy of immortal overlords. And so yes, in essence the discovery of immortality would lead to a much more rotten world.

how bad will bj's mental health be in 10 years when he's still visibly aged? will he need to be committed? sure there are some celebrities who look late 30s maybe in their early 50s, but not a single person on this planet looks younger than late 40s in their 60s, even the best looking people on earth
>>
>>76633975
you can literally walk into your local GNC or VitaminShoppe and already buy a ton of marginally effective antiaging treatments that usually run like $10-30 per month supply, many of which Bryan Johnson is inexplicably clueless about.

>>76633590
GlyNAC is indeed a pretty easy and legit example; it's no "immortality potion" but it *probably* extends average humans lifespan at least a few years and is fairly damn cheap.

Of course people would be in line for it, it's the human condition to want to keep living. However, it's rather like roids, once you are on then you can't come off. How do you decide that it's finally time to lay down and accept it, you might be tired of it all today but you may love life tomorrow. Death is a part of life, if you never died none of this would matter and your experiences and memories would mean so much less. Imagine trying to befriend people when you are 300 years old, how stuck in your ways and habitual would you have become? Seen the world 3 times over, skydived 100 times, played all the vidya you could want, all of this whilst missing what really matters in the world: relationships and companionship.

I don't understand Brian, to my understanding he was already rich before this so it's not some sort of grift. And even if it was surely it's bad for his mentality to even engage with this on a business level, much less him actually thinking it genuinely. I thought most people got over this in their 20's at least I did when I saw neighbours and family members die. I feel as species we've lost the understanding of the cycle, before you would live in a household where you would see both new life and death and you could understand the cycle better and come to terms with it. Now we live in sanitised, sectioned off boxes and when death comes it terrifies us that much more.

Does their clanker even scrape all of PubMed yet?

Cuz my ass intervention-mogging Bryan Johnson already from having just PubMed'd the top few thousand most popular supplements and medicinal plants to find the best several dozen.
>>
>>76628287
he founded a successful company, has kids, and now devotes his time to fully release his findings about slowing down the rate of aging to the public
so he checks out everything you say
>>
>>76628612

He seems like a clown and, as always, an attention whore that wants to get what it lacked in its youth.

A better way to "slow down" aging would be
-a clean planet without pollution
-a good diet which is very pricey nowadays
