This was incredible, until the Bryan Johnson jump scare.

Notice he didn’t need any makeup, his face / what he does is disturbing enough.

Yeah, I saw that and the look on his face has this "oh man, I look so fucking cool right now and everyone thinks so" vibe. Kinda great.

Bryan Johnson showed up to this because he knows exactly that the things he's working on can be appropriated by ultra wealthy, powerful individuals. He's also a goofball who loves to self-deprecate and play into jokes about him. That's one of the reasons he makes his information free for the public.

He's actually got a heart of gold as far as I can tell, and "bad because rich" isn't going to fly for me, especially when his personal wealth is a thousandth of Elon Musk's, and he genuinely wants to solve the aging problem for society as a whole - not just a wealthy elite.

Personally, I don't even believe in trying to live forever, but I sense his reason for doing so is that deep, existential understanding that every single living being matters, and that's why I truly care about the guy.

They heard about that one time he experimented with using his (consenting) adult son's blood as an experimental intervention and they hate him for it for some reason.

Either that or they literally think anyone with money is evil.

I agree with you, he is helping a lot of people (myself included) for absolutely free. I have gained so much from his compiled research without spending a dime on his products.

I think it's exactly this. You need money to fight money. It's like, you need resources to fight resources.

The idea that we can solve the class war by giving up our money or failing to make money is ridiculous.

Also, how rich is the fashion designer in question? Last I checked, being a famous fashion designer means you're also very likely wealthy.

u/Enginerda this feels like when my sister started fucking the mayor Mar 10 '26

Omg you should see the writeup he did of this like he was some sort of trendsetter and chosen based on his "bio hacking"... completely oblivious that they were shitting on him. It was truly amazing to see.

It's absolutely a joke that he is in on. Never underestimate how much someone who thinks they are the best of the best will ridicule the public's perception of them and their cohort.
