Are ya bleeding, son?
:saturn-eating-son:
You know when conservatives post those awful boiled meat images and pretend it's gourmet cuisine? This guy is the health version of that. He's the color of boiled chicken.
All those supplements and lotions and creams and serums are just leftover products. They don't exist because they work and the people who make them want to give you something that works. It's that there was a bunch of spare goo from some other industrial process and they found a way to package it and sell it. And even for the things that are honestly grown, they will quickly become diluted and adulterated because all mass products must become cheaper to make over time.
The rich can't live forever because the system that creates them will end up pricing them out of immortality. The science will be junk science because actual studies were sold out to be marketing for dubious products. The doctors will be paid to say whatever.
"It's not blood libel when WE do it!" EVERY antisemitic accusation is a confession.
God damn vampires
Dude's 45, the lighting here is good (is he wearing makeup?) so I might think he's 30, but looking at other pictures, if I saw him in person I would probably think "damn that guy's like 50 with oddly soft skin, he looks weird." Sure, he has the style and build of a college kid, so from a distance he probably passes as young, but sure as hell not up close. It's like a middle aged man wearing the skinsuit of someone my age. My parents are his age and look younger than him honestly.
Also all these photoshoots are creepy as fuck
My dad looked way better at 45 than this guy and all he did was cycle a lot

Sure maybe, but should there also be a chance for people who made a lot of mistakes in their lives (bad diet, smoking, lack of exercise, poor sleep) to change that? Should we really condemn people for "bad choices," especially when a lot of these "choices" are the result of environmental factors like where you grew up and what people you were surrounded by (like smoking/drinking culture in blue collar jobs because they can be brutal)? Not everyone is fortunate to live a fully organic, vegan, biking lifestyle. I like to think of anti-aging research as akin to the poverty alleviation that AES countries are doing right now. Of course it goes without saying that it should be freely available to all and not just the rich.
Meh I dunno, I've seen people in their 20s look like they're 40-something. If he's gonna spend millions then hopefully that knowledge can be used for the rest of us. He shares his protocol and all his data on his website (Blueprint). He has a huge team of doctors monitoring all his vitals, levels, etc. at the macroscopic and molecular level. And according to the data, he has reduced his epigenetic age and also reduced the rate of future aging. As for him looking creepy, it's probably because he's white with smooth skin (and probably doesn't expose his skin to the sun because it will damage it, which tbh is a fair concern). If he were black or brown, people might say "black don't crack" or something like that.
Tbh there's a lot of cope in the comments here. Like getting older isn't just about looking older. It's also not being able to recover from injuries and being at higher risk of things like cancer, etc. because your cells become less efficient at killing damaged cells and regenerating healthy ones. Try being 16 and tearing a tendon vs being 40 and doing it. It's honestly not fair, and tbh youth is kind of "wasted on the young."
And this problem affects societies as well. Every developed nation has an aging population and the child birth rates are declining as well. I'd rather extend my youthful time on this planet than be in constant pain due to aging. If people are delaying childbirth, then having healthier parents at an older age is also nice, especially if you want to play with an active kid. And yes I know "diet, exercise, sleep" is important but tbh it sounds like a capitalist saying "you just need to buckle down and find a job." Like I fucking know that stuff is important but it's not gonna fix everything.
If anti-aging research was being done in Cuba or China the comments would unironically be "damn gimme some of that youth energy Xi!!!!" All the angry sentiments in the comments here come off as libertarian-bro contrarianism (for contrarianism sake).
EDIT: Just to be clear, I do not support or condone exploiting young people as blood bags. I was talking about anti-aging research in general. I thought we just had a big thread about how people need to stop taking the worst possible interpretation of comments here. Jesus...
How is this not grooming btw. It's not sexual in nature but it's exploitative as fuck.
Because that's not what grooming is, this is just child abuse
Aging is not a disease. There’s nothing wrong with being old.
I disagree. I strive for a world in which humans have rational control over things, after the economy and nature so that we don't have to spend a lot of time and keep it going, there is no reason not to have rational control over the adverse effects of aging.
We have to agree to disagree. I find the prospect of a world where humans have rational control over nature terrifying.
Last comment on this bc I feel like I am wasting my breath:
Let’s say we eliminate aging, and we all look like we’re 25 until we keel over at age 200 or whatever. No more wrinkles, no more gray hair.
I believe that would be a worse state of the world. We will have lost something beautiful.
So the show Silicon Valley was a documentary more than a comedy show. Like I have seen it multiple times now and I am starting to get its point more and more especially as it comes to capital. No wonder our boy recommended it
RIP budNo that's another vampire guy I think they based it on Peter Thiel that has just random young guys give him blood, wonder how many tech guys are doing it.
Quite a bit, you can get it commercially and it only costs a couple hundred per appointment per month (for the lowest tier of blood) and some health insurances cover it after deductibles
It is a bit more expensive to reserve a personal blood boy/girl but you can choose the exact traits you want from the person you're getting it from and is worth it imo
I personally have a cute fit blonde blood girl with sparkling light blue eyes to help with my feminization process
You got two choices in the dystopia kiddo: a.) be a blood bag slave to a local warlord (who's also your dad) b.) work on a water caravan
c.) Work the pump at Gas Town
d.) Be WITNESSED and ride shiny and chrome to Valhalla
(don't be mediocre though)
