Tier 2 debates tier 1, Bryan Johnson on jubilee

[Leo Gura]

Less is more, comes to mind here.

You don't really know what any supplement does to your health. Could be negative in ways you don't even feel.

But then you are paying thousands just to gamble that it is doing more good than harm.

I've been watching the video. Man, the people that debate Bryan have such terrible takes. That one chick with the white hair...what a Karen. How so many of them justify their bad lifestyle habits is so classic. Basically repeating lines taught to them by their culture about why it's ok to be sloppy with your health. 

At least have the decency to admit that the real reason you don't take care of your health is because it's not a priority for you. I've worked shift work, i've worked minimum wage for years, I've been a student and guess what...I always prioritized health and figured it out. You don't need a huge budget, you can make time in your day. Fucken priorities and lack of education. Can't go to the gym, go for a run outside it's free!

My food budget for 2 weeks was 55€ when I was a student. I was depressed AF too for years and had to deal with that as best I could, but I didn't make justifications. If I made it work, so can all of you, prioritise the veggies over that vape.

I think they don't understand the significance of reducing fast food. I think it boils down to how much one respect himself subconsciously. Bryan johnson suffers from a similar problem just in a bit different expression. Surely some fast food here and there doesn't mean much and I am fall to it too.

AI synopsis:

'Bryan Johnson is founding a new movement called "Don't Die," which he describes as a "religion" based on longevity and the idea of existing indefinitely. This ideology, which stemmed from his work in biohacking and anti-aging, proposes that the "body is God" and that humanity can overcome mortality through science and technology, especially in the era of artificial intelligence. The movement aims to be a unifying framework, a "grand unifying theory of existence," that guides humanity to survive and thrive by prioritizing existence and using technology to defeat death. '

Where did you get that quote from? This sounds very dogmatic and unappealing. I'm aware he's said stuff like this in the past, it's the part of his work I don't really connect with.

Just asked chatGPT what it knew about his algorithm he wants people to live by - he mentions it in the 'Don't Die' dinners he hosts. I think the first discussion is the proposal 'If you could opt in to have an algorithm decide how to live, would you?' with the idea that you have to adhere to it 100% no matter what. Which is an interesting proposition because in the dinners you can see attendees lose their shit over the free will concept etc. Many people outright reject it because of rebellious tendencies - some opt in 100%. They are an interesting watch if anyone is curious. There's one with Miranda Kerr, and another with Jake and Logan Paul. Another with the Kardashians. The idea being blueprint will form an algorithm that you live by 100% to reverse or stop aging - this is part of how he thinks we will semi merge with AGI.

The weird ideology there is the part I don't agree with, the rest of his work is good though. I like the idea behind the longevity stuff, I prefer quality of life though. But I think he is going for both. I think the attachment to the body is the bit strange, but it could be how he is phrasing his stuff.

I think due to him being an ex mormon he may have some carryover with the 'Don't Die' stuff and framing it as a religion. Because he doesn't need to frame it that way.

I cannot make up my mind with him. But I think he has good intentions.

Tier 1 or 2 thinker? Again I am not sure because of the 'Don't Die' stuff.
