    Just let stupid people kill themselves in peace. The press doesn’t even talk about it anymore… I guess journalists noticed he’s just dying, or he got out of money to buy attention.

    Anyway, that’s 7 years, not 5.

      My vision is still fucked up from when my eyes rolled to the back of my head from hearing my Grok attached overweight uncle say we’re all going to live to 120.

      My tin foil hat theory is it’s to push these boomers and X’ers further into stock market greed because they’re now scrambling to secure retirement savings for a few decades they hadn’t planned for.

      yeah because them loudly bragging about it certainly isn’t going to make others try the same thing…

    I will never understand why people are so mad about him trying to slow his aging.

    “Hey fuck you, why are you trying to not die. You should give up like the rest of us.”

    Like damn I wish every billionaire was like him, we might actually get some decent funding for anti-aging research.

      I don’t know why people are mad about it, but the shit he’s doing is hilariously clownish.

      In general though I completely agree if he figures out something real that can actually be used by the poors (unlikely and also partly why everyone hates him) then that would indeed be good

      I have this idea for a dystopian story where we’ve figured out aging and can keep people alive forever, but it’s only done so that people can continue to work in order to pay off their debts, and only once you’ve done so are you allowed to die. And the people who administer the anti-aging treatment are also the ones who hold the notes on your debt. I’ll get around to writing it one day. I’m sure it’ll just be a copy of Running Man or something.

        I like it, do it! Have you read Altered Carbon? Has some similar themes. I loved the book, might be some good inspiration. I’ll read yours when it’s out, love that genre :).

    I look 10 years younger, after having been on Estrogen for a couple years.

    This guy’s attempts to look younger have culminated in him getting on some Picture of Dorian Gray shit

      The fact that anyone can gloss over this fact without thinking he should be in prison for child abuse is beyond me.

    Whatever he is doing it is certainly not working. Maybe humanity can learn from his misstakes, that id great
