The billionaire who wants to live forever just admitted he has long covid. Specifically, covid wrecked his lungs.
If you haven’t come across him, Bryan Johnson is a 46-year-old tech bro who cashed out a few years ago and now spends all his time trying not to die.
He has been interviewed by most mainstream news outlets where he has documented his extreme and bizarre quest for immortality. From a story in The Guardian:
“He rises at 4.30am, eats all his meals before 11am, and goes to bed – alone – at 8.30pm, without exception. He ingests more than 100 supplement pills daily and bathes his body in LED light. Two of the three meals he eats every day are exactly the same: boiled broccoli, cauliflower, mushrooms and garlic, nuts and seeds. He takes 54 pills in the morning, and the rest in between skin treatments and red-light therapy. He doesn’t drink alcohol, and doesn’t go out in the evening. He experimented with injecting himself with blood plasma from his 18-year-old son Talmage.”
Lol, and indeed, lmao
Nobody else picked up on the important part?
Today, for whatever reason, he admitted a mild infection in November 2022 (months before those interviews) stripped him of 15% of his lung capacity.
This is a guy that tweets about every other health gain he says he is making. Most recently he has boasted he reduced his sperm age from 57 to 42.
So why did he admit this now and not earlier? Who knows. I asked him, but haven’t had a response.
He’s a billionaire who has long-COVID himself, but still can’t bring himself to admit it. Why? Simple. Recognizing long-COVID means opening the doors for a restructuring of society, which strips rich people of their unearned wealth.
I’ve posted many times before that long-COVID is often curable with time + isolation. I was completely cured of my long-COVID symptoms 2.5 years after my initial infection in 2020.
And your comments keep getting taken down for misinformation. Unless you’re bringing science, leave the the anecdotal evidence to yourself.
mild infection of the most contagious x virulent bioweapon the CIA created yes
Two of the three meals he eats every day are exactly the same: boiled broccoli, cauliflower, mushrooms and garlic, nuts and seeds.
Bro why even live forever if that’s what you gotta do
That’s not too bad if you’re a morning person especially depending on sunrise/sunset times in your time zone. The eating all meals before 11:00 is the bigger nope IMHO
A complete focus on personal benefit vs helping to build a society that actually responds effectively to crisis that affect us all.
He gets up at 4.30 and goes to bed at 20.30? So he gets a regular 8 hours of sleep? What’s the health benefit of getting up at 4.30? You’re not getting up early, you’re sleeping 8 hours. You just have the same bedtime as a child for some reason.
Not that it’s wrong, but it seems like he does it for a health reason and I don’t get it.
Also it sounds like all of his day is dedicated to doing stuff to not die? He sounds like a human version of those collectible dolls people leave in their box to preserve value.
It seems like he just wants to maximize his time being exposed to the sun by setting noon as his midpoint. I guess he’s not enough of an early bird since his day should be 4am to 8pm. His schedule is shifted 30 minutes forward. That or he’s one of those people who think you have to be awake during dawn, so he based his schedule on the summer solstice when dawn is at its earliest, which would be around 4:30am without daylight savings/5:30am with daylight savings.
Like might as well take advantage of humans being diurnal and wake up with the sun and sleep with dusk like we’ve been doing for hundreds of thousands of years.
This dude was posting about his morning wood and nightly erection quality on twitter recently, extremely weird behaviour.
Just realised it means he sleeps with a digitised cock ring on his shaft, that connects to his phone through an app.
What the fuck
