nytimes.comMore than confidentiality agreements, this shows the current level of wacko that's currently accepted in tech elite circles.

I slightly question anyone who ever believed him when he said taking some daily supplements was really going to help him live for any extended period of time beyond normal life expectancy. His claims were always ludicrous and never based off fact. He was always going to age similarly to everyone else in the world.
Scott Carney did a good video about Johnson's pre-publication attempted take down of this article - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bGgJ9-3Ha3o

The amazing bits are not in the title. Gotta read this one. Highlight: during 2022-24 while publicly claiming to have aged -5.1, internal metrics suggested he had aged +10 years.
Is this amazing, or just finally proof of something most people already knew, which was he has no ability to change his life expectancy bar being generally fit and healthy.
The guy is on a vegan low calorie diet while doing a ton of exercise, so basically constantly starving himself, which leads to plenty of inflammation. The consequent cellular aging he is experiencing due to the inflammation has to be higher than for the typical person.
Is he? I don't think I believe a single word coming from this man's mouth. Without proof of anything he says, it's just pointless noise. I feel how can I listen to the words of a man who thinks his diet will help him live beyond what humans can live. He could be on a big mac a day for all I know. What he seems to be selling is his product and brand, and I don't think that he would ever say the truth if it took away from that.
