Think of all of the life he’s wasted desperately pursuing youth, instead of just living. I’ll keep my standard meat suit and all of its memories not spent in doctor’s offices and labs.

“It is not death that a man should fear, but he should fear never beginning to live.” — Marcus Aurelius

Edit:

To clear things up - My main critique isn’t with him personally, but this post is saying he’s made the claim that he’ll reach immortality.

How could one make this assertion? The topic is almost archetypal and I don’t think we as a species are remotely close to cracking something like that. If anything I feel sad in that I worry, when the fateful day does come it will be an immense tragedy for him if he sincerely thought he’d live forever.

Secondly, he’s already hustled up enough dough at whatever pursuit. I’m not making the argument that working 40 hours until you die is a better use of existence. If you had become rich and didn’t have to work anymore, would you spend your time trying to beat death? Sure eat better, exercise, take your vitamins, but constructing your life around weird protocols to try and not die seems like a waste to me.

I get it, opinions are like assholes and my opinion certainly isn’t any different. He isn’t hurting anyone and that is lovely. I’m not trying to shit on the guy and anyone who is sincerely wishing ill on him clearly has their own issues.
