He is, I believe, a silly tech millionaire who thinks he can reverse aging. He has his son’s blood injected daily as I recall. Also penis Botox, for some reason.

Also known as a coward.
Time, aging, and death come for us all. We must make peace with that knowledge. This man is incapable of living life, through fear of losing his life.
I’m gonna go play in some dirt now, and eat raspberries straight from the bush. I know which of us will be enjoying our time on this planet more.

Him because of the massive luxury his wealth allows? The mere fact that he has time for pointless bullshit like this while the rest of us have to work for a living should tell you something.

Is that botox injectes into penis, or botox extracted from Clostridium botulinum on penis?
All jokes aside. Why inject a muscle relaxant in penis?

Call me a Luddite but I don’t like the sound of toxin injections and “shockwave therapy” for my genitals.

Erections are almost an entirely cardiovascular response. Blood flows in and it has a difficult time coming out until the penis is chock full of blood and stiff as a board.

This rich turd is afraid of aging and dying so he’s using pseudoscience to attempt to live longer, while many of the longest living people are known to reach their advanced ages while consuming unhealthy did l foods and questionable lifestyle choices.

What I love most about him is that he trades blood with his son.
Imagine believing your blood is old and then convincing your son to give you his young blood in exchange for your spent blood.
If that’s not shitty parenting I don’t know what is.

Yeap, for some reason tech billionaires are all complete idiots outside of their field of expertise. I don’t know what it is about computer science that makes people so confident they’re always the smartest person in the room, but it does lead to some interesting scams.
These aren’t even real hyperbaric chambers, they’re marketed as “wellness chambers”. Real hyperbaric chambers are illegal to own/operate in a living space because they are dangerous if not operated and maintained by an expert.
He’s not getting 100% o2 and they aren’t getting the appropriate amount of atmospheric pressure utilized in hyperbaric medicine. There’s no evidence to support any kind of benefit of hyperbaric medicine at these levels.

It’s not computer science. It’s money and power. Having everyone else in your life falling all over themselves to kiss your ass is toxic to one’s personality, and makes it hard to stay grounded.
The thing with becoming rich and powerful through other avenues, it might happen in a way that you’re less confident in your intellectual capabilities and are used to outsourcing things to professionals. If you’re a pro athlete or actor or musician, you might come up with the understanding that you need your agents and lawyers and accountants to do what they do.
But tech business leaders who become rich feel that they know the tech, know the business, and know the world. The thing they are most confident about is the thing that made them rich.
See also some athletes believing in nonsense about health and fitness, because of their superior athletic performance.
Or artists who descend into terrible rabbit holes, artistically, because nobody is around to tell them no.
Anyone who gets rich off of their smarts is susceptible. Engineers, doctors, bankers, financial professionals, lawyers, etc.

it’s because they’ve bought in to the capitalist myth. only smart people can make lots of money, so surely they must be smart. combine this with yes men and snake oil salesmen who make their money scamming rich people, and the result is a lot of rich people who are really into weird pseudoscience

I’m not sure if it’s purely spurned by capitalism, though I’m sure it doesn’t help. I think it’s more of an issue with narcissistic egos, considering even our global leaders are prone to fantastical thinking when it comes down to longevity. Not too long ago Xi and Putin were caught on a hot mic talking about immortality via organ donation. That’s not how any of this works…
