Bryan Johnson air quality

I posted this to critique his house based on air quality.

Everything he said is the cookie cutter stuff that everyone teaches you and the problem is it takes many insights to discover all the real issues because it's not popular enough to circulate and culture.

These are all the mistakes he's making:

1. hIs house ventilation system is built with aluminum pipes, that aluminum is coated in petroleum machine oils from Manufacturing, as the air passes through all of those oil fumes are pumped into the air. (the pipes have to be washed)
2. The fan that he's using to push the air through his ventilation system uses an oil in the motor that pushes toxins through the air through the whole house. (the motor should be outside the air stream)
3. The insulation that he's using for his walls are formaldehyde bonded fiberglass (pink stuff), a house is designed to breathe so mold does not accumulate inside the walls so therefore whatever is in the walls is in the air of the house at all times. Breathing in this formaldehyde glue concoction. (the insulation has to be replaced)
4. The couch and any porous material or foam material that exists in his house it's continuously producing scented products as those scented products were infused with the manufacturing process to hide the rubber smells and other chemical smells. (throw away)
5. The outdoor air is completely toxic because he's in the middle of the city, in a city every single house is a Manufacturing process for laundry detergent, bleach, and everything else that people are continuously pumping out into the air. This air is then sucked into the ventilation system. The only solution is to move to a location far away from these Manufacturing plants (homes). Lakeside houses tend to be better if you're forced to live in the city but out of the city is better.
6.  the 50 different creams he puts on his face every morning are packed with scented fragrances and other things that he's constantly absorbing and inhaling directly off his face. (solution stop)
7.  his washing machine has mold in it, (cuz they all do) that is contaminating the clothes he's wearing.
8. All the people that work for him are walking sent and fragrance endocrinatic blockers, because culture has taught people that washing with scented things = clean. This conformity means every human being on Earth Associates clean with flowery fragrances. Black Culture tends to be even worse and the associated clean with bleach and other harsher substances.
9. his heaters likely wall mounted or floor heaters are all bound together by various glue and rubber adhesive that continuously off gas for 10+ years. Heating releases more of its toxic gas into the air, so it's the perfect toxic system.

Solution move to a new location and build new house that is engineered and designed from scratch for best air quality.

Do you have numbers on what these things do? Discovering a mechanism is one thing, quantifying its effect is another.

We dont know how good the air quality around his wifes pussy is yet. Is it safe?

Epistemology:

1. All Points have infinite scientific papers
2. Direct experimentation with five to six observable measurements like Sleep Quality, Sexual Energy ... While maintaining a structured repeated routine, ( going to bed at the same time , eating the same exact meal , exercising at the same time). All variables accounted for. Then the experiment is run over and over and over again. Then a process of falsifying it by seeing if there's a way to break the hypothesis. Experiments are created to break the hypothesis and when everything fails. It's considered true. Both breaking hypothesis and imagining that hypothesis both consume a lot of time and energy. Work is being done just exploring the space in a continuous self-development loop. Connecting all the dots into one coherent model 
3. Experimenting on others and monitoring/observing their experience

That's a great Point let me clarify.

Her pussy is mostly sealed away and not affecting the air 99.9% of the time.

When it does become a factor he's already intoxicated by his own sexual hormones which mostly masks any symptoms he might experience from it.

Numbers are a way of describing a relationship.

Remember that time when you said the vitamin E and other vitamins that you were taking every day were making you feel worse.

This is a measurement, just not in the numeric form.

Quote

Reading — the felt state right now (the needle position). "Worse" as it's actually experienced in the moment.

Ruler / unit / calibration — baseline wellbeing; the remembered or expected normal that "worse" is implicitly measured against.

Measurand — the thing actually being measured: the vitamin's effect on this body. Its action on the organism.

The encoded token — "worse" (or a number like 37.2°C): a one-place word that collapses and hides a two-place relation (now : baseline).

The measurement proper — not the reading alone, but the relation between current reading and baseline, attributed to the vitamin as cause.

The ground — bare awareness itself; the field in which any felt-quality can appear. The unmeasured background, the screen the reading shows up on — never an object on the ruler, only the condition for there being a ruler at all.

Two structural features that distinguish this from a ruler-and-table case:

Shared substrate (no insulation) — the instrument (body) and the object (effect on body) are the same substrate. The measurand perturbs the very thing measuring it; the act of measuring is the perturbation. No outside vantage.

Reversible roles — which end is "ruler" and which is "measured" is interchangeable, fixed only by what you hold as already-known. Body-as-instrument / vitamin-as-object, or vitamin-as-known-probe / state-as-characterized. Like litmus reading either the acid or the paper.

@Carl-Richard This is the original science, the whole process was how people figured out everything for millions of years

Quote

Husserl's idea of the Lebenswelt, the "lifeworld." His argument in The Crisis of the European Sciences is precisely that the quantitative, mathematized science of Galileo onward is not the original thing — it's a derived idealization built on top of the lived, felt world of direct experience, and that science then forgot its own foundation and mistook the abstraction for the bedrock.

Numbers can cut through the catastrophizing that a particular mind can gravitate towards given the right predispositions and also allows for a rough average that can apply to a greater group of people.

A rock in my shoe might be detrimental for longevity, but do I need to stop walking outside because of it? Maybe if you ask the right person, they will tell you in their experience, you should definitely not walk outside while allowing your shoes to be prone to rocks. Some are also sensitive to loud noises or particular types of noises. Some also claim they cannot walk outside without sunglasses as they are purportedly abnormally sensitive to light.

Should we trust some dood that we should tear down our house for the sake of our health, or could we maybe get some numbers and (also) judge that way?

Bryans approaches is to take things with good scientific backing and then he directly experiments and tracks various biomarkers until he Narrows down to whether that thing is true or not, so there's additional work that is always placed on top of it .

If I were to give you data from other sources outside of my personal science the burden of proof still would be on you to verify these things for yourself.

The source is just a pointer and then it's still up to the individual to do the real work.

Plenty of sources will sing heavenly vitamin E praises, and we both know from experience from verifying these things for ourselves that it's not that simple.

How is he working out what is doing what?

This video shows one example where he Took the science that had the best evidence for saunas which was only for dry sauna and then experimented in a bunch of different ways to see if it was true or not.

Quote

1. Started with a claim from science

Studies said sauna cuts all-cause mortality by 40%

2. Got skeptical of the claim

Data was mostly from Finns (small gene pool)

They also cold-plunge, so maybe that's the real cause

Sauna mimics exercise, so maybe it adds nothing on top of his workouts

3. Copied the exact conditions from the studies

Dry Finnish sauna, 20 min, 200°F, daily — to match what was actually measured

4. Took baseline biomarkers before starting

Vascular, toxins, fertility

5. Ran it, watched what broke, and fixed it

Got bad night cramps → guessed dehydration → tested with a sweat patch → confirmed → added electrolytes → cramps gone

6. Re-measured after a few weeks

Blood pressure down, toxins dropped, fertility up

7. Toggled one variable to prove cause, not just correlation

Stopped icing his testicles for 2 weeks → fertility crashed 50% → restarted icing → recovered

This proved heat was the cause

8. Answered his original doubts

It stacked on top of exercise (arteries way more flexible)

 

So the benefit was real, not just a Finnish/cold-plunge fluke

The core loop: take a claim → doubt it → recreate the exact conditions → measure biomarkers before → intervene for the issues (add electrolytes to fix cramping) → measure biomarkers after → flip one variable on and off to nail down cause.

I do exactly this except I dont have the money to run all these expensive biomarker tests.

@Carl-Richard take a claim → doubt it → create a repeating inner felt state baseline (same food every day, bed time, exercise same time... internal state is identical every day.) → add the new experiment (suna) daily or every other day → Compare new internal felt state to Baseline → if theres issues or unanswered questions intervene → add variables and adjust experiment → Compare new internal felt state to Baseline → flip one variable on and off to nail down unanswered question or cause of any issues → optimize

Felt state benchmarks =  sexual strength, physical strength, mental clarity, concentration capacity, physical pain like eye burning, Sleep Quality, felt state of relaxation

One issue i had with sauna is i felt amazing but it was giving me constipation, so i experimented with different temperatures and none of that worked, then i experimented with coconut water and electrolytes and that did a bit better and then I kept narrowing down until It didn't give me constipation and it didn't show any negative impact on other felt state benchmarks like sexual strength, physical strength, mental clarity, physical pain like eye burning, Sleep Quality, felt state of relaxation.

The most important felt state benchmark is a overall state of internal coherence that takes intuition and experience to know. "to know one self". It should stay consistent after new things are added to the baseline daily routine. 2 weeks of the same routine should make for a consistent baseline.

@Carl-Richard i would never know if my sperm count was dropping 50% from the sauna using this method, so it has real limitations. But its the foundation of experimentation, bryan noticed cramping in his leg, this is the felt state as a measured marker.

@integral how is Bryan working out what is causing what effect exactly - all the things he takes. How does he know what is doing what if he is taking and doing so much?

That's the biggest critique of his entire process, because most of what he's doing has no connection to any measured marker.

He has no idea if taking chocolate in the morning has any impact on longevity, because when he removes that from his system it has no impact on any of his markers.

I'm not sure how many supplements hes taking in the morning but most of them fall under this category including the skin cream and everything like that.

The sauna example is the one time he does it right. The only critique about it is he didn't use his own intuition to invent something even better. He just did wtv the science said.
