Bryan Johnson NYT Takedown article 3/21/25

Agree. I heard about BJ a while back and it was super cool. His website was like a blog, listing all the stuff he did. Now he’s just another dude selling supplements, sounding like he’s starting a cult, and dishing out all sorts of bad health advice. All helped along by misleading, cherry-picked results.

Is it cool he’s the bringing/promoting concept of longevity to the masses? Yes, absolutely

But I think his motive now is simply profit, because if he is actually serious about “don’t die” then he isn’t using his time, money and influence wisely towards that goal at all.

I would be skeptical of any product promoted by a narcissist. Blueprint is just one man’s self-aggrandizement.

That’s Ignaz semmelweis you’re thinking of, not Joseph Lister.

Oh, come on! I don’t buy that… Bryan follows science based practices for vast majority of what hes doing, and he’s very honest about what he follows…

"…Young guy (29), in school most of the time. Wonder how many patients he has treated. There is no stated hospital experience, nor research lab experience…

There’s your first strong clue…I’ve seen a few examples of these MDs who imagine they deeply understand “science” - but have no clue when it comes to experimental design or statistical analysis. Probably something similar going on here…I mean the whole N=1 nature of the B.Johnson “experiment” has been thoroughly debunked by Matt Kaberlein in a few of his videos…just my $0.02…
