I don’t understand this pervasive fear of death in the tech community. Yes, one day we are all going to die. Yes, one day the human civilization itself is going to die. The entire universe will die too. So what? We all knew this from the age of five or so.

I don’t want to die today, and tomorrow I’m not going to want to die, and the day after I’m not going to want to die, and so on. Therefore, I want to live forever — proof by induction on the natural numbers.

And I want to become a billionaire tomorrow. Except there is some actual very small probability of me becoming a billionaire, but I am nearly absolutely certain that one day I am going to die (save for some miracle-grade event). This worries me about as much as the fact that the sun will rise tomorrow.

Wow, just look at the number of pills he takes every day: https://protocol.bryanjohnson.com/#step-2-supplements And then apparently the same dish, every day... definitely a very scientific approach.

Definitely, a much longer list than it should be necessary

It would only make sense if he wants to test if he can function optimally without getting these micronutrients from "real food"

I think Bryan is an interesting dude and no matter if you think he is insane or not, it's interesting to follow and the message is a good one.

He is literally telling people to sleep more, exercise more, eat better etc etc.

How can you be against that?

These websites will look so funny 100 years from now when everyone involved is dead.

It will look to the future exactly like emperors drinking mercury to extend their lives. I love it.

Sounds like torture to me. And the guy doesn't look healthy at all. More like someone who's about to start chemo.

Bryan Johnson is going all in, because (1) he wants to show what's possible and (2) he can afford it. He's dedicated his entire being to the cause. You and I don't need to. What we should do instead, is learn new and interesting stuff from his journey, and apply the 80/20 rule.

He just looks like a 50-years old guy who spends a lot of time in the gym/kitchen. His face and skin texture give away its age.

I have no idea about his health protocol, but I'm pretty sure a regular healthy life style (avoiding junk food + recommended dose of exercising) would give you the same results in term of longevity.
