    why is he awful? genuine question. i’d only heard a bit before and came away from it with the impression that he was kind of an obsessed weirdo, but that ultimately being that guinea pig could (maybe) be beneficial and it wasn’t just like, to sell shit. and that his son seemed on board as opposed to coerced

      I’ve never seen a single person who wanted to live forever that wasn’t obsessed with themselves.

      He literally thinks he should be able to live forever at the expense of others, including his own children. That kind of experimentation is selfish by definition.

      That’s awful.

      Oh good his son is as bad as him! Sign me up. Nothing shitty about that.

        okay… again, i’m earnestly asking why he’s awful, I’m not up in arms for him. and again i don’t know him well, so i don’t know what you’re referring to when you say at the expense of others, please share. all i know is he’s trying different things to prolong life and sharing what happens to him.

        I don’t think there’s anything wrong in wanting to live forever / very long.

        But it shouldn’t come at the cost of others, and it should be available for everyone, not just the rich.
