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

This is hilariously ironic. Climate change will go about the same. Bunkers not effective

I hate how this guy and other guys like him have become the face of longevity science. Because in principle, I see nothing long with trying to extend and/or regain youth. Getting older sucks, and not just for the majority of hexbear that are aging milennials, but think of your parents and grandparents, suffering from things just because of advanced age. I see nothing wrong with extending your lifespan in a healthy way. Imagine living long enough to see and experience many beautiful things with enough energy to enjoy it. In theory it shouldn’t be too hard, just tweak things here and there to make your body think it’s 21 again or something like that I dunno.

It’s weird how many tech people have orthorexia.

I wanted to live forever, but now I admit I have hollowing. Every morning I rise at my bonfire to bathe myself with brilliant incandescence and eat the same meal of estus and purple moss clump. I take 54 different types of purging stones in the morning between my pyromancy and miracles. I don’t drink divine blessing and I don’t go into Anor Londo in the evening. I’ve experimented with injecting myself with liquid humanity from a giant rat.

Do you use the pyromancy to temper your meridians?
