Exactly. You can hate on Bryan Johnson for selling snake oil and being corrupt, but at least we can agree that he is healthy. 

I’m looking forward to seeing what comes out of this experiment. Who knows, maybe in a body that is 100% metabolically healthy, “pouring jet fuel” could have some interesting beneficial effects.

Ye he called his extra virgin olive oil "snake oil" thats all the snake oil he is selling and there is so much less corruption in him then anyone here it seems.

The conclusion is kind of tragic. 

He became Pure Consciousness, and when he came back, he talked about doubling down on his quest to live forever as a species.

damn he is stubborn.

Or thats a sign he is on the right path. Maybe you understand his view of "living forever" completely wrong my guy

Like someone finally sees the Matrix code and their first thought is "cool, now how do I patch immortality into this build?"

more like coding it into a more beautiful experience. Why is there a matrix to begin with? Just because you seem to think its bad doesnt mean its bad, thats your bias.

It makes a lot more sense if you see his larger message is bigger than just archieving immortality. Yes Dont Die is his headline message, and immortality makes his whole project spicy, but his project is very much geared towards humanity not destroying itself and the earth - i.e. the metacrisis. It is about preserving life and honoring existence, because existence is beautiful, which is very much what you get in the afterglow of a deep trip. 

Yeeeeee +1

There's something deeper worth naming here.

The entire "preserve life" framing assumes a definition of Life that is quietly, completely humanized.

But consciousness didn't begin with biology. Biology is one of its expressions, a extraordinarily complex filter through which the Absolute experiences itself at a particular density level. A rock is not less alive. It's less complex. Those are not the same thing.

When Bryan says "protect the candle of consciousness that has miraculously emerged in this part of the galaxy", he's describing consciousness as if it's a fragile flame that humans are somehow responsible for keeping lit. As if without us, the Absolute would go dark.

That's not humility. That's the most anthropocentric claim possible, dressed in the language of cosmic responsibility.

The void doesn't need protecting. It was there before this universe. It will be there after. What Bryan experienced wasn't something rare and fragile, it was what's always already the case, briefly unfiltered.

"Don't Die" makes sense if the human vehicle is the source of consciousness. It makes no sense at all if consciousness is the source of the human vehicle.

If you love being human though it makes sense. Doesnt mean being a human is all there is. Your logic is built upon the human experience not having any worth, then why are you still alive?

I’m a bit envious that this guy can just afford to do life changing psychedelics and make a giant spectacle out of it with a camera crew filming and social media posts galore afterwards. 

Here I am working full time and building a foundation for success and a future family lol, something like that could derail me in a way I don’t want to put energy into recovering form. But to be honest I’m very much spiritually aware and have prioritized it since 2015, so the fruits of my labor have been paying off even if my experience is just around shrooms and ayahuasca. I shouldn’t frame it like I’m missing out on anything. I would imagine you can only garner so much wisdom when your original intentions are clouded. 

I guess what I’m getting at is he is literally the last person I would probably try to emulate when it comes to seeking peak experiencie. His whole Richie rich life is just so different from mine. I’d probably keep a good bit of it to myself if I were to do it and largely do my own journaling, talk here some about it. 

He also doesn’t look particularly young for his age. Is he really much more healthier than other guys his age? My grandpa lived to 92 and didn’t do shit for like 25 years before passing . Ate a pack of bacon daily and spent his retirement sitting in a recliner watching tv he recorded on a VCR. 

Maybe I’m being a hater but there’s something just performative about the way he moves that I don’t like. 

Bro do you know about his past? He completely burnt out from his previous career. Where do you think he got all the money to do this stuff from?

And ye I think his looks dont really match the health stats and thats because his skin was severly damaged and you cant really recover skin that well. Also I think chronic sauna use, which he is doing, might be bad for the skin, just a guess though.

Death is a compelling marketing approuch but he should really make it about state.

The point is being in peek condition, not draggling your feet with brain fog through life and no purpose that 99% of slaves are doing. 

Thats is basically already what it is about.

[Florian]

Holy shit this is enough for now

[Florian]

Hope this cleans the view on him for some people, especially @Leo Gura cause I think you would profit the most from adapting to this new perspective on health. This taxed my nervous system ngl, time to take some time off from this website again

@Florian defending Bryan hard here. 

Can you show me where he addresses the issues with extending life when one is suffering, dealing with chronic pain or emotional distress ie personality disorders or pathologies? Some of these circumstances poke holes in his philosophy. And I haven't seen him even try to address this. Just avoid.

It's super easy to be all sun and rainbows in a rich paradise.
