Via (she also predicted it): Bryan Johnson gave himself a incurable disease.
Welcome to the age of Oceangatelikes.
E: He blames it on eating sugar as a kid. AI will fix it.
i'm sure this guy will have a sane, healthy and self-compassionate attitude to disability and long-term illness.
that could be any of who knows how many untested things he tried over years
"don't die" - famous last words
e: this is also sorta why clinical trials are a thing, and why so often there's recommendation to not treat disease at all, and why you leave that call to a professional, not decide on your own. especially when your own education is MBA from BYU
I guess the silver lining here is that "his team" might accidentally discover some actual way to help sufferers of this disease? Unlikely, but stranger things have happened.
Between this and Elon's sad AI birthday party pics, I came to the conclusion that the default consensus for anything someone who's wealth exceeds a certain amount should be ruled horseshit with no further verification needed. Yeah, occasionally there will be a pony under all that shit but it ain't worth digging for when it's there.
Anyways, calling horseshit on this because even if parts of it aren't, they aren't important compared to the greater horseshit coming from a guy who has an autoimmune disease like Bryan Johnson, that disease being "everything out of Bryan Johnson's mouth is horseshit"
I missed those pics.
Me too. Saved future readers a search
