    Why are you so angry at him?

    He’s literally trying to make people live longer.

    I don’t see why you’re calling him vulgar names.

    He’s trying many things to see what works and what doesn’t.

    Your vitriol seems misplaced and I don’t understand your aggression towards someone trying to be helpful to society in general. It’s bizarre.

      You can simplify all of this just by saying you’re a big fan of the guy.

      Literally everything in your reply is some extremely weird projection trying to invalidate another person’s opinion, and it’s incredibly strange.

      Honestly, you come across as a person who hasn’t had much interaction with different opinions, perspectives, and personalities.

        It’s not an option though. It’s an attack. They’re just attacking his personality, or calling him names. That’s not opinion, that’s just trying to smear the guy.

        They’re bad faith arguments.

        Calling him a rich ar*ehole isn’t an opinion. It’s just being rude.

          Why are you so confused by this? It’s not at all as difficult as you’re trying to make it seem.

          You’re literally in a public forum trying to project your assertions about another person merely because you don’t agree with them. It’s perplexing, really.

          You fail to understand one of the simplest characteristics of the human species, and that is they’re not actually required to behave as you believe they should, and many understandably won’t.

          I reassert my original advice to you to broaden your horizons to endeavor to interact with others more and more meaningfully, so as to familiarize yourself with, and become much better accustomed to, the plethora of human personalities. You’ll thank me, I assure you.

                If they’re even real. So many bots around these days. And they don’t seem to want to listen so it seems like they have an agenda.

                But your advice is cogent, if it’s a real person without an agenda

                  Bots, by their very nature, usually have some kind of agenda, and that agenda may be to pretend that they have no agenda at all.

                  If bots are what worries you, you are voluntarily on a platform that you know has bots that you cannot trust, so you’re going to need to decide whether to remain on a platform you’ve determined that you cannot inherently trust, or leave, and by doing so, not need to be paranoid about the bots on this platform.

                  Which, of course, is to say that there are similar such bots on other platforms you may choose to visit…

                  Exhausting, no?

          Ooohh I’m sorry. “Himself” was the answer. Good game, thanks for playing.

            He’s helping himself by publishing the results for everyone? That doesn’t even make sense.

            You’re being obtuse and and I question your intentions in have a good faith argument.

              Multiple people have already told why that “data” is useless. Why are you defending this guy so hard?

                  You’re assuming his actual intentions are what he declares them to be. Hey, maybe they are. But there’s no way of knowing that.

                  But I try a lot of things and fail. So does everyone else. What matters is not his intention, but the quality of the results. And the way he’s collecting and reporting his results is undisciplined and unscientific.

                  But you don’t seem all that able to understand either science or the human character, so I’m going to cut my losses and stop trying to explain it to you. Maybe some day, when I’m bored, I’ll come up with a doggy-doggy horsey-horsey version and try again.

                  Publicly giving out information about the erections of his 19-year-old son is doing something good?

                  You’ve got a lot of self reflection to do, friend.

                    I don’t know about that but it’s funny you focus only on that.

                    What about the sleep data, food data, exercise data?

                    You’re only focusing on a small part of the research. Which makes me think you’re buying have this discussion in good faith

              He may think it helps others to publish his results. Or maybe it’s just a publicity stunt. But neither of those motivations mean that the results will be worth a shit.
