They aren’t the same accounts

@Leo Gura I am recontextualizing the whole thing. Sorry for the sass big G. Looking forward to the next videooooo.

Yeah, you may make that conclusion. He didn’t. I am not even sure that’s how God’s logic works though. I mean, Bryan Johnson is God. This is his dream. He is eternal at the end of the day. I feel like he is just being born to be honest. I also think there is a spiritual mind virus on the forum. It’s sneaky.

@Natasha Tori Maru It’s not though. The studies sited clearly aren’t. I can’t respond to everything. If you really think the things he is doing won’t help populations I think that is wrong. I re-read my posts. They ain’t that emotional lol. @Leo Gura Yeah I know… “Shut up and die” was like wtf.

I don't resonate with Dave Asprey. But, I resonate with Brian Johnson. Beyond his products, his values are good. He provides free information for people to and 90% of it isn't biohacking imo. (loose %) It's common sense. Having good sleep habits isn't biohacking and seems to be central to a lot of what he teaches. I like what I like and leave the rest. I am not going to be a miniature Bryan Johnson. But, I am very interested in his contributions.

@Natasha Tori Maru Yeah, idk. I likely have some projections on Leo, etc. My mind is processing it. My initial reaction is annoyance. You can psychoanalyze it however you want. Am I putting them on a pedestal? Well, perhaps because they are teachers and influences in my life. I generally don't like rudeness, or crass behavour toward people I respect. So, when it comes from someone I see as a leader I get annoyed and share my perspective as I have done. No, you are wrong on the N = 1 thing. That would be true if he was just doing it by himself. But, he isn't. He is leading his own movement influencing 100s of thousands if not millions to sleep, eat, exercise all things which have overwhelming substantiated evidence for better health outcomes for individuals and populations. Nothing he is doing is N = 1 in totality because it's based on research. At the end of the day, N =1 is the only way your health actually works which is the trick to health. That is why he measures himself, and suggest other to as well. He is a leader, and I think you would be blind not to see it. His social media presence, business and brand, and embodiment of his values is leadership. and it is rare.

@Natasha Tori Maru I am unsure of what you mean at stake? I simply disagree with Leo on this at this time. I do feel some charged emotions because he is someone who made videos on integrity, wisdom, life purpose, and then he bad mouths a guy like Bryan. If what Bryan is doing... promoting health, sleep, mental health, nutrition, etc and changing culture to focus on health... is not a good life purpose.... I just don't get it. Disrespecting a leader I see lots of good in makes me angry coming from someone I respect. Is Bryan wrong is areas? Probably. Like, he and everyone will die of something. Humans die. I also suspect he is wrong about AI and doesn't see it as hype. But, I still there is a core quality, and nuggets in what he is doing I find inspiring. He is a model leader.

@Natasha Tori Maru What is contradictory about it? Do you ever do things to look the way you want to? He is open about the things he does. i don't see that as contradictory. I am neither here nor there if someone dies their hair or does aesthetic treatments.

@Natasha Tori Maru Well, I don't like X person for no reason. I always find that a strange question. I only really like X figure based on the ideas or value I get from them. I am open to seeing critiques, etc. I simply don't think that it's correct to call him stupid, ignorant, or not "getting psychedelics" because you personally don't like his own values or life purpose. "Shut up and Die".... Come on, that from the actualized.org guy who made the life purpose course? What joke. Think of all the wild shit people do who take psychedelics. 99% of people who trip are just normies. My own psychedelics experiences almost always have me wanting to be more healthy, more conscious, more loving, more orgnized, more creative. I don't trip and think "Shut up and die". So fuck off with that horse shit. Bryan is actually a really good leader, based on my own interpretations and values. He is calm, level headed, scientific, kind and generous. I think humans not dying from a shitty western lifestyle is valuable life purpose and thing to teach. I don't see the issue with teaching health. Health is and should be #1. The fact that this is controversial is a sign of a normal sickness we all live in. If you look at my "defense" of Bryan, you also need to look at the "attacks" on him. Then, simply come to your own conclusions on the merit of each. I don't care what you decide. I'll stand my ground at the end of the day on what I think is true. Whether, that changes my feelings on him or not over time has yet to be seen. I see a man of vision and integrity that is rare in society in Bryan.

@LoneWonderer I find with some people, Leo included, they will teach something in a video, or in some context hold a value etc... But when someone like Bryan comes along they judge them. It seems odd to me. I know Truth is a big deal. But, if you don't see some level of truth in his teachings (Bryan) then I think that is a flawed perspective. Honestly considering your health, your habits, and making health a top priority seems to me, in this moment a truthful idea. Is it wrong to push against modern culture of lacking sleep, eating junk food, etc? I think he may be wrong about AI, but I think he is right about longevity, health, etc. I am down for that. I personally don't think he will achieve his goal of "don't die". I think that is fundamentally flawed. However, I am very interested in longevity and health because I want to enjoy life. It's hard to really enjoy life if you don't have health. I want my years of wisdom when I am older in 20 years, to also be full of health. If I could live 200 years I wonder what I could create.

I don’t know why I find this thread very inauthentic. I mean, you guys have all done psychedelics. You guys all have egos, all want to live tomorrow, you all have values and unique things that you like even though they don’t matter… honestly, even Leo I just see hypocrisy here.

@Leo Gura Life ain’t bad, health ain’t bad. There is some wisdom in his teaching.. Just cuz someone trips doesn’t mean they gotta see life like you do. Doesn’t mean they are clueless. He has a life purpose? He is living according to his core values? What an idiot.!

@UnbornTao Bhaa

I listened to some tracks from my first album and man, they are pretty good. Rough in some areas but man, I am good. No longer will I complain. I’m a musician. I can hone skills and simply market my new work better than before. I’m more mature now and I’m actually better than I used to be. I practice a lot.
