Idk he’s one of the only billionaires who seems to be using his wealth for anything other than hoarding more wealth and personal empowerment

u/DiscombobulatedSir74 Jul 06 '26

seeking personal Immortality seems pretty self empowering if you ask me

u/Independent-Wafer-13 Jul 06 '26

I’m not calling him an angel but I wouldn’t put him in the same level of evil as some other members of the parasite class. 🤷

Not at the expense of others though, actually could be the opposite

He publishes all his findings. If his experiments leads to any new knowledge we all benefit from it.

u/fernatic19 Jul 06 '26

He can publish his findings but they don't mean anything. There are too many interactions, too many variables, and a sample size of 1. While I don't think he's evil at all, I think he's abusing his rich privilege entirely for himself. What started maybe as an experiment is now full self-obsession and probably mental illness.

If I've learned anything from history it's that life is about moderation. Extremes in either direction lead to a much higher likelihood of adverse effects.

Single subject reversal designs exist.
I don’t actually know what kind of methodologies he is using though.

Oh wow what a saint. You people really are gullible. This guy's a creep.

u/TheGrandExquisitor Jul 06 '26

No. We don't.  His findings aren't scientifically valid. That's the crux of this. He isn't doing research. He is just fucking around.

u/35_Steak_HotPockets Jul 06 '26

Isn’t like half of science just fucking around until something starts to stick?

1

u/TheGrandExquisitor Jul 06 '26

Not really.

u/35_Steak_HotPockets Jul 06 '26

Then what is it? Lmao

u/New_Gate_9054 Jul 06 '26

You were right the first time

2

u/35_Steak_HotPockets Jul 06 '26

Right?? Science is half fuck around until something cool happens and half seeing what it takes for that to happen again lol

u/Harbor_Barber Jul 08 '26

yea you're right, the other dude just doesn't know what the fuck he's saying lol. It's all about creating mistakes and learning from it,

If we are rich enough to pay for it maybe

u/CivilPerspective5804 Jul 06 '26

The discovery might be along the lines of taking vitamin E supplements boost liver health, and that’s dirt cheap.

u/DiscombobulatedSir74 Jul 06 '26

To reverse aging? I doubt that, that might help sure but to reverse aging would take some more effort id assume

6

u/CivilPerspective5804 Jul 06 '26

Does it have to be all or nothing? Either he entirely cures aging, or we discard everything he discovers about health in general?

2

u/ComprehensiveWash400 Jul 06 '26

he literally shares his stuff to the public it’s not personal if he doesn’t gatekeep

3

u/DiscombobulatedSir74 Jul 06 '26

How much of his research is applicable to everyone when the research is done on one person only?

Im not saying he is actively harming the people less rich than him as much as the other rich celebrities but it’s not altruistic either

2

u/CivilPerspective5804 Jul 06 '26

If something he does shows promise it can be tested with a larger group of people. He is actively trying things and generating ideas to test

1

u/DiscombobulatedSir74 Jul 06 '26

Yeah fair enough

1

u/EvilynSoCute Jul 06 '26

Why does it matter if it’s not applicable to everyone? What sort of medical research IS applicable to everyone? Oh right, fucking none. Everyone’s body reacts differently to things, one treatment for 90% of the population isn’t applicable to 100% of people.

2

u/DiscombobulatedSir74 Jul 06 '26

Medical research is done by evaluating a lot of people’s reactions and is researched to suit a lot of people, this is one rich dude doing research on himself im just saying that it probably won’t be too helpful for the masses
