I think he relies a lot on shock factor in his social media posts to get people to understand the importance of adopting better health habits. People tune out when you simply tell them to have healthy habits. If this wasn’t the case, we would all be listening to the American Heart Association and living with perfect health. However, when you tell people that their unhealthy food and bad sleep cause their sperm to die, then they start paying attention.
I do think his work on building systems for human longevity is ultimately a net good for the world. The work he does today can be universalized after socialism for all workers, such as providing yearly resort trips for workers to go detox and get healthy. Until then, the path he is forging is probably the best path for longevity possible without changing the economic system.
I think Bryan Johnson has a valuable role in longevity research, but because of his background and vampire psychopathy I think that role is proving a head can be kept alive in a jar. Not conscious, not able to interact with the world, just physiologically alive enough to one day be restored. So many mice take his place in these studies and it isn’t fair to them because they could contribute something to the world.
This quote is from Bryan Johnson, yeah? Props to him for demonstrating the solutions that should be universalized to improve everyone’s health.

Just a magnificently long string of words arranged in that order for god knows what reason.
