What he's doing is not science.

It literally is, and in many circles (illicit drugs, bodybuilding, cosmestic...) it's thanks to those community that we have early-on data. Go look for information about latest psychedelic derivatives, user reviews is the only thing we have accessible, it is Science, a doctor is aware of side-effects because of reporting, user reporting (assuming relatively trusted) is genuinely useful for the world. It's also useful…

It's not good data for any particular procedure because he's doing so many at the same time so you can't really use the data to support any particular procedure in a rigorous way.

He hired real doctors right? Not like witch doctors or faith healers or something? I wonder was there an issue of them not being able to tell the boss no, no matter how screwy his ideas were? I know Putin is also doing a similar thing, he has a team of doctors who are supposed to keep him alive forever. But he certainly seems the sort of boss you cant disagree with or give bad news to (we can see that in how he comma…

Oh really? have him told you so? Amazing. Did he give you more details about the treatments?

If creating research data means one is performing science, the word means nothing.

Being good and wealthy are mutually exclusive.

I hope you are writing this from a really poor place, like a Brazilian favela. People there must be really good. Why would you not live with them? I am certain you are not some hypocrite, who lives in an affluent, evil place. That would really disappoint me, because I really want to believe you are not full of BS.

Some of worst evilest motherfuckers I knew were dirty poor, and some of them were filthy rich.

Evil Motherfuckerness seems to be uniformly distributed across the social strata.

It seems like a high-prevalence low-impact disease. Considering how much he self-scans it’s no surprise he found one of these. The cancers that he could get as a result are not particularly dangerous and lifespan is barely affected by it. Seems interesting but not consequential.

Hilariously, his self-scans did not catch this.

It's also not cancer. AIG makes him more susceptible to certain cancers, but he does not have cancer yet.

And looking at what he's done compared to the symptoms, it's possible he's been inadvertently self-medicating his condition for a bit.

He's currently blaming his lifestyle before his "biohacking" for his condition.

I agree. I think it has nothing to do with how much a person has and everything with who they choose to be.

Unfortunately, stupid communist ideas are very popular on this website. Say "eat the rich" and they will clap.

Nothing in his statement talked about the poor being better, just that every rich person becomes so by taking from others.

By that logic, every poor person becomes so by giving to others. Neither statement is true. They equated being rich with being evil, which is plain stupid and I don't understand why you are defending it.

I was writing quickly and miswrote. I meant “the cancer that this condition increases the risk of”. Let me correct it.
