ICTChris Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 You might have read about tech millionaire Bryan Johnson in the news the last few weeks. Johnson, who founded Venmo and sold it to PayPal for $800m, has apparently dedicated himself to reducing his biological age. He’s 45 but claims to have the lung capacity of an 18 year old, the heart of a 37 year old and the skin of a 25 year old. He has achieved this by numerous experimental procedures, a tightly controlled diet and exercise regime. Controversially, his regime includes blood transfusions from his 17 year old son. This GQ article brought him and his regime to wider attention https://www.gq-magazine.co.uk/lifestyle/article/bryan-johnson-millionaire-deaging-technology/amp Here’s a photo of Johnson - this is a man lying $2m a year not to look 45. Money well spent? Heres an interview with his doctor, a Brit who amazingly thinks the guy lobbing cash at him is into something. https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/i-gave-tech-tycoon-a-blood-plasma-tranfusion-to-reverse-his-ageing-kzz2w9gbb Here’s a family photo of Johnson, his son and his dad. Just normal men! have any P&Bers got an anti aging protocol? Have any P&Bers ever spent $2m a year to look the same? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oceanlineayr Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 I get the feeling most of these ultra rich types (at least in private) think the same way as this oddball. They will wake up at night seething that they will still age like the proles and poor people who can't afford multi-million pound treatments. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFTD Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 ...and yet he's still going to die and rot, just like the most deprived pauper on the planet. The only difference is that the idea clearly terrifies yer man with the cash. There's been a few videos going around lately about how excessive amounts of money drives people to insanity as they lose all grasp on reality. I'm sure it's not true - they all seem so stable, happy, and well-adjusted. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least it's something different from the usual cosmetic surgery that does not make you look younger but makes you look like you've had cosmetic surgery.

tamthebam Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 I look younger than my age I put it down to not smoking, avoiding too much sun and lucky genetics. Although I did read years ago in The Sunday Post (so it must be true) that if you do five minutes pulling faces everyday it keeps the skin supple and young looking. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw one of the lassies from Friends recently, and she had that "Real Housewives" look of skin artificially stretched across bone. Spoiler "Courteney Cox?" "Not many lately, how about yourself?"

If you see any of the YouTube videos of influencers telling young lassies how to avoid aging (and, let's be honest, it's what we're all watching), they're all convinced that the key is to avoid using muscles in your face. So, no laughing, smiling, or displaying emotion of any kind for you. There was one who claimed to be able to smile by only moving two facial muscles. Utter fucking lunatics. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
