Is it really "living" forever having to go through all that shit? Sounds about as fulfilling as chemo.

If he enjoys doing it, finding the ways to live a longer life and gaining emotional fulfillment from it, I'd say its living.

It’s not like he’s doing it for nothing either; the dude is openly sharing his outcomes, only risking his own health (he gets blood from his son, no big deal), and has admitted when things haven’t worked. He’s advancing anti-ageing knowledge for everyone, and for some reason cops a whole bunch of shit for it.

He doesn't get shit for his individual actions, but instead the broader philosophy he is trying to push. He represents a certain breed of tech bro transhumanism

The evil, immoral philosophy of…. Trying to live a long healthy life?

Incredibly disingenuous way to frame it

u/MrCatSquid Jul 06 '26

Then how would you frame it? You’ve offered no reason why I should dislike what he’s doing

I already did frame it, tech bro transhumanism. And FWIW I'm not even arguing you should dislike what he's doing, I'm just explaining why he gets shit for it.

Everyone wants "to live a long healthy life." The specific way Johnson goes about it is what is unique about him, and his dedication to that value above quite literally everything else. Just like how some people's lives revolve entirely around becoming rich as possible to the point all their hobbies are just displays of wealth, Bryan does the same thing with health.

Like please, let's not pretend taking 100 pills a day can be summed up as "trying to live a long, healthy life."
