This entire techbro anti aging cult bubble is both a lot more entertaining and makes much more sense when you simply assume it's ran by a bunch of vampires. Like, take a look at that guy. Famous for getting blood transfusions from his son, avoids sunlight at all costs, brags about his low body temperature, just has the all-around biggest Ventrue ancilla vibes you can imagine.

ofc if you want to grift people who want to avoid death at all costs, making them think you're a vampire is a fairly sound marketing concept to make them pay for premium access to your inner circle.

We're getting transhumanism for the 1% and the dystopia for the rest of us.

[–] JoeByeThen@hexbear.net 30 points 1 week ago

Nah, they're all gonna invest in tech snake oil while getting Long Covid over and over till it kills them.

[–] Xiisadaddy@lemmygrad.ml 23 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Nah. If they somehow cure aging we can just do things the old fashioned way 😜

Brave new world: the instruction manual.

Only the ruling class are seen as full humans and their lives are nothing more than a massive cradle-to-grave party where they enjoy all the things they tell poor people are ‘sinful’ all the time and free of charge. Eugenics and transhumanism have boosted them to nigh-godhood

Lower ranking people are literally programmed to enjoy their menial labor. Porky’s whole thing irl is telling us to forget college or any other life-changing experience and leaving our hometowns and just do all the undesirable jobs they don’t want to do for shit pay…with a smile on our faces (seriously, I felt ill reading that bit because as an autistic person, that’s literally how they want me to be. An NPC happy to spend my whole life doing menial labor for no reward.)

Someone needs to explain what the word “mild” means to him. What he is showing is a severe symptom.

[–] JoeByeThen@hexbear.net 16 points 1 week ago (1 children)

People who use Mild have always been referring to the acute Covid, aka the initial infection. Totally ignoring how many doctors and researchers out there were saying there's no such thing as a mild infection because of the long term damage, but you know, OOPSIE DAISY!🤷

I've seen some clips of this dude, absolute freak. I hope he lives to early old age and drops off quickly because of extreme anxiety due to the treatments doing nothing at a certain point. Can you imagine, the first slightest sign that the millions he spends can't stop time. Suddenly his whole psyche implodes and he literally stresses himself to death.

[–] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 36 points 1 week ago

the first slightest sign that the millions he spends can't stop time.

I'm some years older than he is. One day I had an experience that made me think of the idiom "I know __________ like the back of my hand." I was in my kitchen chopping away on the chopping board . The light in that part of my kitchen is surprisingly bright. When I looked down - for the first time I noticed that there was a noticeably older network of tiny wrinkles on the back of my hand when my fingers were splayed out. In the years since then - I've gotten some tiny, faint liver spots. None of that is surprising. That's aging and - shocker(!) - your body systemically gets older.

Typically vain people have plastic surgery or do procedures on the certain parts of their body and in particular on their face. But he's probably checking every inch of his body every day for any tiny "flaw". What is he going to do when all his millions have failed to stop what I happened to notice on the back of my hand that day? I wonder if in his 60s or 70s he'll die due to his own insane vanity. For example - I can imagine him having a crazy and highly dangerous number of Botox injections on at a similarly crazy and highly dangerous frequency.

[–] SuperZutsuki@hexbear.net 20 points 1 week ago

I will celebrate when this fucker dies from some experimental de-aging procedure

[–] JustSo@hexbear.net 13 points 1 week ago

Oh yeah he's fo sho gonna crash spectacularly and publicly like Jordan Peterson. You can't have this much denial and atypical pathology going on without it eventually catching up.

Are we the first generation that won't die?

we the first generation

we

someone tell his gen x ass he is in fact not a teenager and will die within the next couple decades, long before any pipe dream immortality tech would ever even be conceived as possible or not

[–] AntifaSuperWombat@hexbear.net 30 points 1 week ago (3 children)

I wish someone told him about HRT making you look 10 years younger. Could get some funny memes out of that. sicko-fem

[–] JustSo@hexbear.net 13 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I'm sure he's doing a lil estrogen and blocking some androgen. He would be silly not to.

he might be alive, but he's not living.

[–] godlessworm@hexbear.net 25 points 1 week ago (2 children)

he doesn't even look young tho. he looks sickly if anything lmao.

[–] PaulSmackage@hexbear.net 16 points 1 week ago (3 children)

He choose to look 49, or he can choose to look like a 28 year old lizard.

He looks about as youthful as my ~40 year old ex boyfriend recovering meth addict. Which is still surprisingly youthful all things considered, but still, I think people are forgetting that not laboring in the sun all day or doing other back breaking labor accrues less visible wear and tear and so a lot of us look younger than previous generations.

[–] Infamousblt@hexbear.net 25 points 1 week ago

follow his lead

Ah yes lemme just go grab that extra 2 million a year I'm sitting on not doing anything with and join you

[–] adultswim_antifa@hexbear.net 25 points 1 week ago

People that spend millions on not dying are the last people on earth that shouldn't die.

[–] barrbaric@hexbear.net 24 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Is obsessed with own "health", taking ludicrous measures to try to live as long as possible

Gets long COVID anyway

soviet-hmm

[–] Eldritch@hexbear.net 24 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I just saw this 10m ago and was also like wtf. Just the 'free press' washing the image of a literal vampire. Imagine the treatment if some Russian or Chinese billionaire did the same thing.

[–] LeopardShepherd@hexbear.net 15 points 1 week ago

Their vampiric oligarchs our immortal heroes

[–] Self_Sealing_Stem_Bolt@hexbear.net 22 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Isn't he just the new Ray Kurzwell or whatever his name was, at this point? Just someone so afraid of death because their culture is so nhilistic that they hope for eternal life through technology?

Its going to be so funny when this guy just dies in a car crash or something and all this eternal life stuff is all for nothing

Need to set myself up a Google news alert for his obituary so I can make sure I'm getting my schadenfreude promptly.

Anyone want to put an over-under on him not making it to the average American male life expectancy? I feel like there's something in all the crap he does that's burning the candle a little faster.

[–] buh@hexbear.net 19 points 1 week ago

When this guy is sixty he's going to get cancer and they're going to learn that laser-filtering his blood was a bad idea

im excited for more rich guinea pigs for various fad diets. i always wanted to see the real science! and now we can do it in an ethical way, by watching the rich poison themselves

Once more I would like to remind people that this vampire has taken blood transfusions from his son, while the science indicates that giving blood is much better for your health
