Bryan Johnson thought peptides would make him live forever. He ended up triggering and autoimmune disease that would likely end up killing him.

Of course, these bros must know tobacco smoke causes more diseases than just cancers.

    I love how he blames 'the stress of being a new father twenty years ago' with this new autoimmune disease, even though he's been bombarding his body with foreign invaders, taking a hundred pills a day, changing the markers on his blood and lymph, replacing everything he can inside himself, and living in terror of his immortality for a decade.

    'it wasn't all this pinhead horrorshow in a lab coat I'm doing, it was my fucking son I've always hated.' what an insufferable twat.
