I don’t get the “disgust” towards @bryan_johnson. He seems to be putting his own skin in the game of others. He’s not going to live forever, but the experiments on himself might reveal something that helps others live longer or better. x.com/i/trending/187…

@bryan_johnson is an example of bad researcher. His “project” isn’t research, it’s not peer reviewed nor is it broadly applicable (n=1). He’s a dude with a hobby that few care much about, and he spends most his time in the media, for reasons which allude, yet people follow his advice which is half of what’s wrong with modern society. Influencers with little rigorous and tested evidence championing voodoo and counting midnight erections to others. One of the most pointless persona’s of the modern era.

@ThePythonQuant @bryan_johnson The discovery of antibiotics was also n=1, yet…

Antibiotics came out of research by a researcher who published his results which were peer reviewed: sure the result was unintended, but that’s research. Has Brian Johnson contributed anything, much less had any peer reviewed findings, much less had any results, to warrant his airtime? No. Even the negative results?

@ThePythonQuant @dvassallo @bryan_johnson But he also publishes his research. Anybody can do a peer review.

@ThePythonQuant @dvassallo @bryan_johnson stfu this reply dumb as hell

@ThePythonQuant @dvassallo @bryan_johnson He's using the studies that are already there. Wtf are you talking about, what should he do?stop experimenting on himself, not you, himself? For what? So you won't say bad things about him? GFO

@ThePythonQuant @dvassallo @bryan_johnson Making it mainstream to talk about longevity and living healthy is a huge accomplishment. This obsession with peer reviewed papers over everything is dork behavior.
