no way he thinks that every alligator is 150,000,000 yrs old ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ

Once again reminded of the biohacker tech guy who took ketamine and drowned in a sensory deprivation tank
Talk about depriving yourself of sensations.
Which is sad cause I was really intresting in his experiment he hadn't published the results of yet.

did he not have a spotter?
is that the weird super-rich hollow man who does blood transfusions with his son
yes, yes it is
Also Long Covid fucked his lungs up.
super-rich hollow man
redundant
Isn't it counterproductive to waste so much time to extend your life? Like it seems like it's all this guy does. Wouldn't having a standard lifestyle leave you with more time to experience life?
All of this to be out lived by a Chinese grandmother that smokes a pack a day.
This is the answer, science can give us all the grandma juice
not again...
This is like a story of a guy who spent his entire life trying to find the fountain of youth. Never found it even though started looking for it from a young age. Could have also like, lived his life.
Idk, that sounds more interesting than Bryan. Lots of hiking and hanging out at old libraries. Talking to archaeologists.
No way, jimmy Carter looks like he's having a blast
Jimmy's motivations are different probably, the man almost certainly knows he's going to hell if it exists (in the way his beliefs would see it as existing). He's clinging on for dear life lol
At this point, the guy is in what amounts to a very weird and public self harm routine that he gets paid for. None of his treatments will produce any data of scientific value when he runs them all at once without doing any sort of controls. And if one of his treatments manages to miraculously increase his lifespan, he'll never even know because it'll almost certainly be cancelled out by all the other pseudo scientific shit he's doing to himself.
He's mostly looking at research and taking whatever works along with experimenting with new stuff
Serial cold-plungers being the patient-zero of the zombie pandemic is definitely within the possibilities of this wacky world.
This guy is gonna do all this work, making his life bereft of meaning or experiences in exchange for longevity, so that he can maybe make it to 110 or something and die
And that's assuming he actually does LENGTHEN his life with all this nonsense, and that he doesn't end up making himself super vulnerable to something and die much earlier
The only thing that has any backing that extends life is staying moderately fit and active. Having a reason to get up in the morning and move your body is basically the entirety of the secret.
Of course in a grand irony for this dude, giving blood is basically the best and only way to lower your body's microplastic and heavy metal accumulation, which might possibly have an effect on your health in old age. Taking blood doesn't do shit.
Yeah but this guy probably wouldnt even know how to give a compliment. Giving is not in his nature. Hes a literal parasite, a leech. Taking blood is the best he can do.

I think he's going to die in a car crash or something
I'm not a doctor but that seems like a bad thing
100,000's of years of evolution to maximize the efficiency of the enzymes etc. in the human body:
That's just hypothermia
I had kids because I wanted somebody to take out the garbage when I'm too tired after work.
You had kids because you wanted a Blood Boy.
Who?
Think its that rich guy who spends all his time trying to min max his health to live longer. He also gets blood transfusions from his son
Vampirism irl.
The Blood Boy harvester
Litterally cold blooded lizard people.
There's something truly pitiable about people like this who are seeking this level of control over something as inevitable as mortality.
I see his health rapidly declining in the next five years
People keep talking about alligators like Greenland sharks don't live for centuries
They also barely move which is my plan as welll
From what I am seing he said he is starving himself to achieve this effect. It is impressive to see someone with a body temp this low and not be in an ICU. I think though he is doing way more than that and that by doing so much he is doing terrible science. If he does actually see results it will be impossible to know what factor or combination of factors caused it.
But why?
He's obsessed with living forever and does stuff like taking blood plasma from his son and other really weird shit. He's not ok in the brain
And he thinks the permanent hypothermia will improve his life expectance? I'm absolutely not a medical professional, but that doesn't sound right...
His stuff is based in pseudoscience so its just made up shit for vibes. If I'm gonna operate in his headspace it would be something like cold means lower metabolism which means like some kind of pseudo cryostasis which means live longer
This is the embodiment of neoliberalism.
This guy looks like if he would eat a burger he would perish.
Honestly this will just make him live less, this kind of extreme temperatures . makes your body stressed.
