I will never understand how Bryan Johnson is helping anybody. Ok, if he lives longer then what? Do we all have to do what he does (impossible)? How is he contributing at all to science? He is a walking confounding variable. Even if he succeeds in living a long time, humanity won’t be able to take anything away from it.

Yep. There's nothing scientific about trying 1000 different treatments on yourself. You'll probably drive more interest in the field if you live to be 120 or something, but that's about it. Mostly reeks of ego, selfishness, and a fear of his own mortality.

Speaking as a healthcare worker, people in this country don't need a longer lifespan, they need a better quality of life. Most Americans become pretty sick by their 40s-50s due to lifestyle, diet, and lack of access to healthcare. You have hypertension and/or diabetes in your 30s, which progresses to chronic kidney disease in your 40s, and by your 50s you're spending half the week sitting in a chair getting dialysis. His wealth has made him so far removed from the reality of most people.
