9.5 out of 10. In his dick.
Has anyone asked him why he wants to live forever if that's what it takes?
"You get to live forever but in exchange you have to get incredibly painful injections in your dick on a daily basis."
Sounds like a cursed genie wish.

Probably because he knows he can't take his wealth with him in death.
What's the point of being pointlessly wealthy if you can't be pointlessly wealthy forever?
My guess is he wants to live forever because he feels he has made no contribution to the world, or does not feel a sense of fulfillment and purpose from raising his family. Maybe he feels cracking the secret could be his contribution, or maybe he thinks he can find meaning in his life, given enough time.

It sounds like the dude just has a CBT fetish and doesn't want to admit it.

i saw him on two separate youtube channels: Magnus Midtbø (norwegian climber) and Will Tennyson (bodybuilding vlogger)
in both cases, they were invited by Bryan Johnson to his lair, going through his routine. it felt like a surreal cringe fest of zero social awareness. Bryan was permanently looking for some kind of validation, comparing his skills to his guest, or asking the various personal trainers / doctors if he beat some younger age category, etc.
everything he does can't be healthy and i wouldn't call what he does "living". he's bound to a 24h program where everything is planned down to the minute.

I don't mind this guy. He's basically committing his time, money, and body towards being a guinea pig exploring means that could benefit us all. I do understand there are some arguments to be had about some less-than-scientific approaches to his experiments, but I don't think it totally negates the value.
Also, oh no, talking openly about penis health is uncomfortable to puritanical Western norms.
Talking about your dick is one thing. Talking about your sons dick and using your sons blood is just fucking creepy. Hope the kid gets good therapy for this crazy shit.
I like when Ordinary Things had a look at him. I can't help but agree with his effort, even if his methods and theories leave a lot to be desired.
On a scale of billionaires most destructive to society, he seems to be very low on the list. One might argue he's on the list of ones at least being minorly beneficial.
But, you know, people will hate. And those people are also likely contributing little of value to society.

Sucks for this guy. I’m close to his age, I drank and smoked heavily for years and I look about the age he does
How about your penis?
Permanently flaccid
We need to get you on a strict penis rejuvenation regiment, immediately!
Nice
While I do kind of like the idea of having data on random bodily functions like erections, can't say I'd be willing to share that data with my parents or the world.
I couldn't get through more than about a paragraph before getting prompted to subscribe so I'm still little confused.
Why get measurements of your child's erections in the first place? How does this son feel about his PHI being shared all over the internet? Hard to imagine anyone being okay with that.
i didn't get any prompts, and read the article, so i'll quickly answer.
- the guy is obsessed with penile behaviour as a measure of overall health, for some reason, and measured the nocturnal boners of himself, as well as his 19 year old son, as a point of comparison.
- the son shared his dick metrics himself. seems he's well and fully invested in his father's phallocentric longevity scheme.
Phallocentric longevity scheme is my new band name. PLS!

On a related note, I was just searching fdroid for a signal app. I didn't find one, but I did find an app that tracks your Morning Wood

It's completely normal father-son bonding. Find a different slant.
I mean he's trying to find the healthiest things to help people live longer.
I'm not sure about the dick thing. But he's carrying out many experiments with food, sleep habits etc.
Although you're only focusing on the erection thing. Which seems a small part of the research.
I don't think he deserves backlash for trying to help people generally
Is he though? He does so many things at once and only on himself. I don't think you can call that research.
Also let's be real. He's not trying to help anyone but himself. If he ever does find some miracle cure that significantly slows aging, you can bet your ass that he'll charge so much for it that only his billionaire cronies will be able to afford it
And what useful data comes from one rich asshole trying EVERYTHING? This is not science, it's existential desperation sprinkled on a soufflé of wealth and cringe.

Experiments with a sample size of 1 are basically useless.
I appreciate his data collection and experimentation, although plenty of the data is anecdotal and the number of simultaneous experiments in a complex system is gonna make parsing out protocols a chore.
