The dude gets weekly dick injections which he classifies as 9.5 out of 10 on a pain scale.
Weekly.
Dude is a fucking moron.
9.5 out of 10. In his dick.
Has anyone asked him why he wants to live forever if that’s what it takes?
“You get to live forever but in exchange you have to get incredibly painful injections in your dick on a daily basis.”
Sounds like a cursed genie wish.
What’s the quality of my life? Like 20s forever or do I still age?
Absofuckinglutely not
Right? Miss me with that dick pain immortality.
You sure, bro? You missing out.
grabs dick as another firey torrent surges through his body
Probably because he knows he can’t take his wealth with him in death.
What’s the point of being pointlessly wealthy if you can’t be pointlessly wealthy forever?
My guess is he wants to live forever because he feels he has made no contribution to the world, or does not feel a sense of fulfillment and purpose from raising his family. Maybe he feels cracking the secret could be his contribution, or maybe he thinks he can find meaning in his life, given enough time.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3bFnZsvh6pw posits that it’s because he was raised believing in eternal life through the church, and lost his faith but still wants eternal life.
thanks for recommending this channel, seems right up my alley!
Get it early on Nebula! https://nebula.tv/lilyalexandre
If you haven’t tried Nebula, PM me, and I think I still have a guest pass for a free week.
I truly hope that these people start getting massive organ failure and shit because of all of this experimental garbage they put into their bodies.
It’s like those showerthought ultimatums : You can choose to gain eternal life, but every day your dick is the subject of the worst pain you’ve ever felt.
I’m going to laugh when he dies of self inflicted dick infection.
What a fucking weirdo.
These erections are rigged!
You meant to say “ligged”, right?
I’m saying someone may have toyed with the erection results.
Erectioneering, you say?
It’s completely normal father-son bonding. Find a different slant.
Sucks for this guy. I’m close to his age, I drank and smoked heavily for years and I look about the age he does
While I do kind of like the idea of having data on random bodily functions like erections, can’t say I’d be willing to share that data with my parents or the world.
Fucking weirdos
I couldn’t get through more than about a paragraph before getting prompted to subscribe so I’m still little confused.
Why get measurements of your child’s erections in the first place? How does this son feel about his PHI being shared all over the internet? Hard to imagine anyone being okay with that.
i didn’t get any prompts, and read the article, so i’ll quickly answer.
- the guy is obsessed with penile behaviour as a measure of overall health, for some reason, and measured the nocturnal boners of himself, as well as his 19 year old son, as a point of comparison.
- the son shared his dick metrics himself. seems he’s well and fully invested in his father’s phallocentric longevity scheme.
Phallocentric longevity scheme is my new band name. PLS!

Immortality is a daily pain in the dick.
Jesus fuck. Why would anyone want to live forever, anyway?
I want optional mortality, yes. https://www.fullmoon.nu/Resurrection/PrimarySpecies.html
But, I gotta say, I don’t want to spend literally all my time just surviving, which seems to be this anti-aging zealot’s day.
Living day-to-day life like a Diablo minmaxer.
Would you like to live one extra year than your otherwise normal lifespan? Yeah?
Yeah that’s pretty much why.
Idk, if I could live forever, I’d like to witness the history of humanity, ala Doctor Who.
i think most people don’t really want to die. and they like living for all sorts of reasons. i hope you can think of at least a few reasons you’d like to go on living as well.
I don’t want to die, but living forever sounds exhausting.
if you don’t want to die now, and you don’t want to live forever, is there some specific age/time you would like to die, if you didn’t have to?
It’s an interesting question.
After thinking over it briefly, I believe I’d like to die when I’m ready to die. I can’t declare in advance when that would be age- or time-wise and I can’t even necessarily define the conditions that would make me feel ready, as I’ve never yet felt ready to die.
Right now, I have a little kid and a decent quality of life. I don’t want to die until my kid can be on their own and I don’t think I’d want to live after my quality of life declined past a certain point though, again, I can’t say yet what that point would be.
I’m sorry, I know this is an unsatisfactory answer, but it’s the best I have at the moment. I’ll try to pontificate on the matter and get back to you if I come up with anything better.
do you want your kid to die someday as well? what if your quality of life didn’t have to become bad? immortalists such as myself (that is, people who don’t want people to have to die, and support scientific efforts to make that a reality) don’t want people to just, like, persist in a state of unending geriatric decrepitude, we want folks to be able to live as long and healthy lives as possible.
I’ve been ruminating on this comment for many of the last 21 hours, in part because I want to give a good answer and in part because I suspect I see the direction of the conversation.
I think the answer is, of course I don’t want my kid to die, but I want them to be able to without suffering when and if they’re ready to and mature enough to make such a decision.
QoL not declining kind of seems like a fantasy to me. Taken literally, living “forever” means that you’d outlive the planet, the sun, ultimately the universe. Sounds like a lonely and eventually boring life though, yes, you’d likely experience a lot of thrills before that point. IIRC, among other media, there’s a section of H2G2 that briefly addresses this.
Taken less literally, there are mornings during which I wake up and think “I have to go through with this for how much longer?” If I could spend the rest of time without physical or mental health once dipping, I might feel differently, but especially the latter seems unlikely to me (even if it is a laudable goal).
For anyone reading this with concern, I’m happy with my life, I’m not depressed and I’m not at risk. If you were going to say something about that, thank you for caring, but it’s not necessary.
edit: Added detail.
Super gross
If your oncle on FB does its wierd , but once your wierd oncle becomes milliardaire, he ll be called Anti Aging Zealot all over Internet
Lol idk why but I find it so funny that you are speaking English with French nouns.
That’s just Canada
ew
I mean he’s trying to find the healthiest things to help people live longer.
I’m not sure about the dick thing. But he’s carrying out many experiments with food, sleep habits etc.
Although you’re only focusing on the erection thing. Which seems a small part of the research.
I don’t think he deserves backlash for trying to help people generally
And what useful data comes from one rich asshole trying EVERYTHING? This is not science, it’s existential desperation sprinkled on a soufflé of wealth and cringe.
that 2nd sentence is pure poetry 👌
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.
Because it seems they’re just trying to smear him. They’re attacking him for no logical reason.

You really will.
Which people is he “trying to help”?
Anyone and everyone that is interested in longevity.
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?
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.
Experiments with a sample size of 1 are basically useless.
I agree with you and don’t know why people pile on against you. Is the guy cringey? Sure. Would it be more useful to humanity if he just donated his money to existing and more reputable research? For sure. But he’s just tinkering on himself, which is his right, and shares what he learns.
Is he misguided and a quack who may not learn anything? Maybe, but sometimes it’s the crazy folks who go against the grain that stumble on some good ideas.
Also, if anything he tries is interesting, yes of course he’s just a sample size of 1 - the idea is that other people could research it further.
(I think him roping other people in like his kid isn’t great)
he’s just a sample size of 1
And also he seems to be mixing “experiments” concurrently. How does he know what worked and what didn’t if he has 30+ variables to account for all the time? xd
Hehe, he won’t know, it’s a messy method. The experiment is “does the kitchen sink approach of a 100 zany things do any good or not.” I’d guess not, actually,
sometimes it’s the crazy folks who go against the grain that stumble on some good ideas
The chances of that happening in real life are close to nil. Sometimes, people who actually know what they’re doing are mistaken or mischaracterized as crazy, but it’s not all that hard to distinguish them from cranks. And even among those with the technical or scientific competency to actually do things right, people often make wrong hypotheses. Science is hard.
Billionaires don’t help people. They find ways to capitalize on people
That’s a generalisation
I’m open to having my mind changed if you can provide evidence of billionaires that accumulated their massive wealth by using non-exploitative practices
Billionaires normally sell something that the masses want.
If it’s not gained through criminal activities and people actually gave money willingly, then they’re providing a service or product millions of people wanted or used.
Just because people made money doesn’t mean they did it in an egregious fashion automatically
Ok, so you don’t have anything actually valuable to offer in a discussion and seem to lack critical thinking skills. If you want to worship or do hand waving for the ultra wealthy, that’s your prerogative but don’t piss on me and tell me it’s raining. Moving on
I’m not and just because I disagree with you doesn’t mean I lack critical thinking skills.
What I said is logical
I appreciate his data collection and experimentation, although plenty of the data is anecdotal and the number of simultaneous experiments in a complex system is gonna make parsing out protocols a chore.
You can just say you have low intelligence and fundamentally do not understand the concept of peer reviewed reproducible science.
It’s shorter.
Well then you appear to be the unintelligent one. Or just a shill for the fast food industry that he’s threatening trying to make people better.
Because it IS peer reviewed.
Peer Reviewed and Independently Validated.

What you’re doing is insidious.
You’re fighting for making people ill.
Or just a shill for the fast food industry
Show me on the anatomically correct doll where Ronald McDonald touched you.
Yeah but WHAT YOU’RE DOING IS INSIDIOUS! Insidious, I tell you!
Lol this guy’s got screws loose.
At least I’m not attacking people trying to help humanity. You’re trying to smear this guy. He’s trying improve people’s lives, while the fast food industry is nagging them sick. It sounds like there’s something inherently wrong with you if you support that.
What was that about publishing his sons erections at night?
I never said anything about fast food. You know who has said something about food? You. Specifically “the gay food industry”, as if that makes any sense at all.
That gay thing was a typo look it up. I changed it.
Yeah well obviously he’s fighting the fast food industry.
And you’re fighting him, so what if he’s looking at erections.
Are you that tied down that you can’t look after your penises health?
He’s not busy randomly doing it.
Erections keep the tissue healthy by bringing in oxygen-rich blood - the more they last, the better.
Without these regular exercises, the penis can develop scar tissue over time, making it harder to get erections.
We shouldn’t feel weird about our sex organs. They’re important too.
He touched many millions of lives. And made humanity sicker for decades.
But that’s a joke to you. Obesity is a pandemic
He touched many millions of lives.
Including a 19 year olds penis!
