More fabulous than the glasses is your shirt, tho! Good thing I was already eating, when I started watching 😅 Oh no not the vampire looking multimillionaire Brian Daddy Johnson x.x
When rich people say, "I need youthful blood" they're "anti-aging activists." When I say it, all I hear is, "call the police," "where did he escape from," or "sir, this is Burger King." Clearly, I'm experiencing discrimination.
People forget that Ponce De Leon was in fairy tales looking for the fountain of youth, not the fountain of immortality. The only thing they got right in Magical Beasts 2 was that Nicholas Flammel was weak and frail after being alive for several hundred years.
There's a US academic called Joseph Dituri who spent 100 days deep below the sea. He said it reduced his biological age by 20 years. Something about pressure increasing stem cell activity and his telomeres lengthening. I'm not sure how long the benefits last once you return to the surface, but I think it's worth experimenting. Clearly the best place for super rich age activists is the bottom of the ocean. Science says so. 🤷♀
he said it "reduced his biological age by 20 years", did he? did he have ..., oh, i don't know, saaaay ..., proof that he gotten younger by this alleged 20 years?
How deep? And what is the relative depth difference to the average submarinars' depth? A hundred days to them is probably a standard cruise. We don't hear much about them being considered much younger than the rest of their cohorts. Keep in mind that the US has quite a few boats that are at sea for months at a time with a crew a little larger than a hundred men, and has been sending them to sea for extended duty underwater for decades.

They think they'll be able to freeze themselves futurama style and move on an other planet and leave the Earth apocalypse to poor people. Hell, they may even be accelerating it on purpose so they have an excuse to not breathe the same air as us! What they don't realize is that life in space is gonna be much more uncomfortable and dangerous than the little sacrifices they should be making to help us with the climate crisis.
they know climate change won't noticeably affect them. at most they will lose a couple billion in the stock market when the economy crashes, but they will still have enough billions to live confortably.
Ah yes, I wrote an article about this guy for a Dutch popular science magazine. Long story short: the only effective things he does is eating right, sleeping enough and exercising. No 2 million per year necessary. But humans will always be afraid of aging and dying, so people like this will always exist and garner fascination.
I am currently living in Okinawa Japan. Part of the reason I think people live so long here is life is slowed down. Everyone walks places and the food is so fresh.
The problem with the "blue zones" is the same problem as Arizona. Back in the 1950s to 70s, lots of people with environmental allergies had doctors recommend they move to Arizona, due to fewer allergens. They did… and brought along the problem, by planting lots of trees and flowers to make the place look nice… thus increasing the allergens. If people move to "blue zones", they'll bring along their unhealthy lifestyles, thus defeating the point.
Not even. A lot of the longevity benefits of blue zones is due to statistical errors and poor historical recordkeeping, where people record rough age estimates and tend to round up too much.
There really isn't any evidence that the "blue zones" actually exist. For example most of Okinawa's records (including things like birth certs) were destroyed during World War 2 so there was no real way to verify the claims of those who said they were very old. Once the cohort of people who could pass off as being born substantially before WW2 died off, the life expectancy of Okinawans plummeted.
@@BrianS1981 Exactly. Even a lot of geroscientists doubt "blue zone" claims, at least the ones not in it to get rich, because, well... the "research" that just sells you a diet is, predictably, a cashgrab.
I saw that fella on diary of a ceo and somehow missed his age. I thought he was about 64 and looked 54 and I thought not bad at all. Then I come to find he's 44! I'm four years older than him and I don't even moisturise my face and I look younger 😂😂😂 I feel great now 😂😂😂❤
Ah-haha, that's hilarious 😂 he does look older. I'm 41 and mentioned it to our front-desk girl who thought I was 30. No way, honey. I'm a full adult still going to festivals and living a fun life. I'm not against getting something done if you want it, but I still don't have the need. No wrinkles and I dye my hair green and purple anyway so the rando greys don't last long after a touch up.
@@WoodrowsWheels not quite that old (only in my thirties), and I'm more masc/non-binary, but I grew up in the 90s. Probably shouldn't have watched a lot of the movies I did growing up, but hey, what's some sfx induced trauma among friends huh?
@@KalebCorvid if you want to create some more trauma watch the movie "Fire in the Sky". I actually saw it in theaters when I was a child. Now that's a movie that can cause some trauma especially if you know that it's a true story.
Ironically, the empirically demonstrable longevity strategies involve consuming less. A mediterranean diet or a diet of beans won't cost you a few million dollars a year.
Fun fact: monitoring nocturnal erections is one of the ways in which doctors can tell whether erectile dysfunction is physical or psychological. If the person is planting trees in their pants at night but can't stand at attention on date night the problem might be caused by anxiety or fatigue. But if they're just flopping around all night long there could be an underlying physical cause. This is only tangentially relevant to the video, but I think it's interesting.
First, Emma gave me the most unintentionally savage insult I'd ever heard when she said "bless him he looks like a Bigfoot witness." Now she has giving me an insult I never thought I'd hear as an insult in "he looks a lot more millionaire." I love it.
I imagine he hates that the first person I think of on hearing his name is the 76 year old, also presumably wealthy, lead singer of AC/DC. Brian Johnson.
My grandfather, a conservative Mennonite farmer, recently died at 104. He never drank alcohol, worked or volunteered until he died and had a close knit family and church community. He survived a heart attack at 90 years old and lived another 14 years. The man was a legend. He lived his whole life in south central Pennsylvania on the East Coast of the United States. He survived the 3-Mile Island incident, was born during the 1919 pandemic and survived the COVID 19 pandemic. Lifespan feels like a crapshoot, maybe you can take precautions to guard against some risks, but chance has to be a huge factor.
Well 3-Mile Island wasn't that big a deal as far as radiation. He probably received more wind blown radiation from all the testing done in the 40's-70's.
End of year reports: Spent 2m dollars. Aged one year. 💩 Now I want to see the secret Rejuvenation Olympics Obituary Page of those that crossed the finish line.
Taking 150 supplement pills a day would introduce so much lactose and calcium carbonate into the body that I bet they're shitting bullets. Perhaps one of those obituaries will contain a report of the deceased's cremation. "The sugar-fuelled fire burned so fiercely that the incinerator exploded and, tragically, the resultant red-hot rock pellet shrapnel took the lives of 20 mourners."
Well…as a confession I’ve been planning to download my brain to a robot for a while. But it’s not necessarily because I want to live forever. I just have a lot of books to read, video games to play, and mysteries of the universe to ponder.
Brian Johnson is a Hallmark example of Ernest Becker's "death denying human." Also that face Emma made when she enunciated "unreliable" had me dying so hard she looked like a turtle.
@@sherlockwho5714I suspect that in a few more decades, people will remember the quote but not the person who said it. I know I keep having to google every time I come across that quote.

congratulations! you've learned something! unfortunately, our grand prize of spending 180 glorious days and 179 fabulous nights, trapped in an igloo with someone you don't know and won't like, surrounded by 27 starving malamutes (yes, i said 27 starving malamutes) has, unfortunately been tied up in legal proceedings over shipping cost recovery issues of identifiable remains from the surviving family members of our last grand prize winners, the donner party, so we're sending you a cookie, instead. it's in the mail, honest.
I have negative respect for rich people and this just adds to that I hate every time I talk to people who think rich people "totally seriously worked hard to get money".
Actually the red wine thing we’re pretty sure most of that correlation was from that some non-wine drinkers don’t drink wine because of pre-existing medical conditions and conflicting with medications they’re taking for pre-existing conditions and once you adjust for that most of the effect disappears…
The only thing i can think of when i hear about this man that there is no way that he is an interesting person to talk to if he spends so much time out of his day on his anti aging journey.
Yeah. I saw the words “biohacking protocol” and mentally checked out. And all it appears to men is “give up all the things that make life worth living”.
Emma, I, myself, intend to live to at least 180yrs old by completely avoiding any situation which might, in any way, be considered interesting, thought provoking, or fun. I shall keep you updated on my progress by pigeon. Thank you.
I cancelled a tattoo with an artist who thought this guy was cool and "on another level" like yeah, another tax level buddy, stop glorifying this weirdo. Dodged a bullet there lmao
I actually looked up ‘Who Wants To Live Forever’ by Queen on UA-cam and in the comments section found an irony free discussion about the pros and cons of living forever: e.g. : “ you would have to change your identity every 10-15 years to avoid suspicion.” etc 🤷🏻♂️
The song was used in the one of the Highlander movies and in the Highlander television series. Both deal with immortals who go around chopping the heads off other immortals as a way of absorbing their power. I suspect the discussion was influenced by this.
Some rich folks saw the "Vampires as an analogy for the rich" concept and was like "Yeah... I should do that. Be rich, take blood from the young, live forever."
I would like to announce the formation of the anti-problem society. Now that I have combined the prefix anti with something that I don't like all problems have disappeared
I'd comment on the contents of the video, but for the moment.... I'm speechless. HOWEVER, the Silly Little Guide was AMAZING and I highly highly recommend it. I honestly started putting some whimsy in my life right after seeing it, and my bad day improved. Genuinely, thanks, Emma!
24:55 - “swap blood with his son”; okay, assuming it actually worked, wouldn’t that mean it’d work both ways, and the blood he’s giving his son would make his son age faster? 🤨
@ButConsiderThis I didn't say I was following that advice 😉 same goes for everything else these dudes are doing though. They're latching on to minuscule effects found in questionable studies that most people either aren't taking seriously, or aren't prepared to change their lives for. I'm like Emma: I'd rather enjoy the life I have than live a long one while depriving myself.
Many Japanese seniors depend on the money from their monthly"social security" checks for survival. Losing this money can be devastating for a family, often seniors themselves. Because of this, it's not uncommon for someone's family to conceal their relative's death for *decades* not to lose the needed income.
Yes, and donating to worthy causes. Mosquito nets will save lives and don't cost that much. If you are rich, no doubt you can get them made with your name printed on them.
The idea of the super rich living forever is genuinely horrific. Imagine the ten richest people alive today living forever, hoarding more and more wealth and resources, taking more and more from everyone else. Forever. As of 2020, those ten richest men possess more wealth than the bottom 3.1 billion people in the world combined.
I think Emma hit the nail when she mentioned "trends". if you want to do buccal fat removal to have a more "streamlined" face, that is fine I guess. but when you are doing it because all your peers are doing it and you need to fit in, or because you want to look like your idols to feel you have the same worth as them. that is when it starts becoming unhealthy. the problem is that the beauty industry trives on that, on showing how if you don't fit you are nothing, so you need to spend your hard earned money to fit.
That was one of the smoothest transitions to an advertisement! "Yes, let's address the elephant in the room. My glasses are fabulous!" Lol. I literally perked up and listened. Brilliant!
Wait...he thinks a younger person's plasma has to do with the speed of aging process... So he "swaps" it from HIS SON. The incredible selfishness. We struggled to get a doctor to order Vit D blood test bc they knew insurance won't usually cover it despite a *severe* deficiency. Took 4 years to get a sleep test to diagnose my narcolepsy... I SWEAR TO GRAVITY THESE PEOPLE ARE DREADFUL. Absolutely f-ing awful.
I will have to remember the Swear to Gravity. We need some new oaths for new times. And to have a child to farm for replacement parts is incredibly narcissistic.
Tech bros hate the Grim Reaper cause he's so egalitarian. It's impossible to become immortal the moment you're conceived because one's genome can't be rewritten anything beyond a blastocyst. Only babies conceived artificially can there be some designer kids with significantly longer lifespans. Technology is usually agnostic and usually very helpful, but billionaire immortality is seriously dystopian. They're John Galty mindset of maybe they could cheat death or disease, or create utopia, but would deliberately make it artificially scarce. Men at the top kinda filter out to be sociopathic and would need to engineer a very unfair world.
Okinawa is an island far southward (26N) from mainland Japan. They tend to have a laid-back attitude toward life, at least compared to most Japanese. When the rest of us Japanese learned about their comparative longevity, the media's response was "By golly, it must be the food!" I mean, Okinawan food does have its benefits, but I'm guessing it's the warm climate and lower stress levels that do most of the heavy lifting.
@@PeteOttonIs it? I stand corrected. It seems farther, though. EDIT: After a bit of googling, I found that Japan spreads from about 45N to 31N. Okinawa is 26N, which is about a third of the length more to the south. To a native Japanese who generally defaults to his country as the standard, that's pretty far south - even if it's not much by global standards.
To quote a classic lyrical line from the group QUEEN, from the 1986 film THE HIGHLANDER, goes to the forever question of, “WHO WANTS TO LIVE FOREVER?…”
I love the part about blood being from carefully selected donors who live healthy lifestyle and have proper BMI...it screams for a parody book, when a foodie becomes a vampire
When Howard Hughes became this obsessed we felt very sad for him. Now we put them on magazine covers. Also... 150 supplements a day and avoiding sugar seems incredibly stressful.
OK children, listen to your Aunty Argy. I am 57. I look like I am 57 year old version of myself. I don’t dress like other women my age. I dress in slacks or shorts, and a fantastic range of vintage band T shirts, which weren’t vintage when I saw those bands. Those T shirts remind me of great times. I have also inherited hair that has only grayed a little bit around the temples. A family trait. However, I haven’t had plastic surgery. I wouldn’t want to. It would make me stand out too much from people my age, and my style of dress already does that, a bit. I have seen my grandparents, and my parents, and my husband’s parents live into their 90s. They all lost their damn minds. Most of them were miserable about that. They also got a range of health problems, including diabetes, strokes, hernias, the usual stuff. I don’t wish to live into my 90s. People always think it would be great to live until then, but your body does start to break down. And who, in fuck’s name, wants to avoid sugar so they can live longer? What kind of bullshit is that? If you have to take 160 pills, that will take up a significant chunk of your day. That doesn’t sound like living, to me. Enjoy your life. Give money to charity. Help your friends. Then, when you get older you won’t be so scared about dying. I’m not scared about it. I have done everything I really wanted to do.
A few years ago I saw a 'Horizon' programme (iirc) on ageing, and one of the researchers said that he believed that the first person to live for a thousand years is alive now!
@@thetypingape2073 So many positives to the sense of community and health, but very exclusionary and definitely some harmful “holier than thou” views, I.E. believing in demon possession and “dark powers”…🙄.

The claims against Lady Bathory were probably made up. It is never a good idea to hold the king's debts, unless you're stronger than him but don't want the headaches of ruling the country. See What the French King did to the Knights Templar, with the Pope's blessing.
Many people who are millionaires (just a couple million, not tens or hundreds), are very much middle class. MAKING a million a year and HAVING a million are very different things. Making a million is rich, having a million is just having planned for retirement in the US.
I’ve come to my own opinion that ( too much ) money is a gateway ‘drug’ to insanity. Trump and Musk are my lab rats. Much love and thanks for being there. 😊
This is one of those occasions where I agree with you. I don't understand the point of living forever. It's a strange fascination that stems from the fear of death. I love this video.

Taking 150 supplement pills a day would introduce so much lactose and calcium carbonate into the body that I bet they're shitting bullets. Perhaps one of those obituaries will contain a report of the deceased's cremation. "The sugar-fuelled fire burned so fiercely that the incinerator exploded and, tragically, the resultant red-hot rock pellet shrapnel took the lives of 20 mourners."
"They don't cost a fortune"... costs nearly my annual salary
😂 what the heck?!😂 These people have far too much money
more money than brains, as the saying goes ...
Reminds me when someone called sixty dollars ‘cheap’. Different universe these people live in.
The best days are the days Emma puts out a video. I'm 1:23 in and already giggling like crazy.
Indeed!
One second in and she comes up in her duckie outfit and I'm already laughing.
Well…as a confession I’ve been planning to download my brain to a robot for a while. But it’s not necessarily because I want to live forever. I just have a lot of books to read, video games to play, and mysteries of the universe to ponder.
ahh, the deep stuff, like the meaning of life, the creation of the universe, and who delivers a mailman's mail ...
Speaking of video games to play while you're on the topic of downloading your brain, ever tried SOMA? Has an interesting take on that.
@@Ogre32890 I haven’t but I just looked it up. I was actually in the mood for a new survival horror game so thanks for the tip :)
Emma, don't you DARE change your natural beauty! Ride your looks all the way to the beach! Beautiful.
Brian Johnson is a Hallmark example of Ernest Becker's "death denying human."
Also that face Emma made when she enunciated "unreliable" had me dying so hard she looked like a turtle.
I‘m confused you didn’t talk about the disrespectful „I‘m transitioning.“ line Brian wrote in the Tweet.
Ozymandias: Look at my works, ye mighty, and despair.
That is my favorite quote for people who seem to think they will be remembered. We all just become the dirt that others walk on
@@sherlockwho5714I suspect that in a few more decades, people will remember the quote but not the person who said it. I know I keep having to google every time I come across that quote.
@@lazykbys his name has lasted more than 3000 years. the only way it'll be forgotten is when we finish driving ourselves over the self-extinction precipice, in about 200 years time ...
@@thehellyousayTo clarify, I meant that we would forget that he was the one who said those words. At the very least, the quote would have been (mis)attributed to several different people. Something similar has already happened to the "turtles all the way down" story, which I've seen attached to several different scientists.
Very true - Most people will be forgotten
Note Ozymandias was Ramesses II many of who's statues still exist, so is a poor example ...
Emma: "...on mice. Which are not humans."
Me: *gasp*
congratulations! you've learned something! unfortunately, our grand prize of spending 180 glorious days and 179 fabulous nights, trapped in an igloo with someone you don't know and won't like, surrounded by 27 starving malamutes (yes, i said 27 starving malamutes) has, unfortunately been tied up in legal proceedings over shipping cost recovery issues of identifiable remains from the surviving family members of our last grand prize winners, the donner party, so we're sending you a cookie, instead. it's in the mail, honest.
@@thehellyousay "surrounded by 27 starving malamute"
..sorry, did you say 27 starving malamutes?
" (yes, i said 27 starving malamutes)"
This is how Stewart Little learned he was adopted.
I have negative respect for rich people and this just adds to that
I hate every time I talk to people who think rich people "totally seriously worked hard to get money".
Actually the red wine thing we’re pretty sure most of that correlation was from that some non-wine drinkers don’t drink wine because of pre-existing medical conditions and conflicting with medications they’re taking for pre-existing conditions and once you adjust for that most of the effect disappears…
The only thing i can think of when i hear about this man that there is no way that he is an interesting person to talk to if he spends so much time out of his day on his anti aging journey.
Yeah. I saw the words “biohacking protocol” and mentally checked out. And all it appears to men is “give up all the things that make life worth living”.
Emma,
I, myself, intend to live to at least 180yrs old by completely avoiding any situation which might, in any way, be considered interesting, thought provoking, or fun. I shall keep you updated on my progress by pigeon.
Thank you.
I cancelled a tattoo with an artist who thought this guy was cool and "on another level" like yeah, another tax level buddy, stop glorifying this weirdo. Dodged a bullet there lmao
I actually looked up ‘Who Wants To Live Forever’ by Queen on UA-cam and in the comments section found an irony free discussion about the pros and cons of living forever: e.g. : “ you would have to change your identity every 10-15 years to avoid suspicion.” etc 🤷🏻♂️
Obviously that person in the comments section has read/seen "Picture of Dorian Gray."
The song was used in the one of the Highlander movies and in the Highlander television series. Both deal with immortals who go around chopping the heads off other immortals as a way of absorbing their power. I suspect the discussion was influenced by this.
@@MinionofNobody Changing your accent regularly to avoid suspicion, as well.
They should make a movie about that. Have an immortal guy from somewhere like idk, Scotland.
This made me think of Jupiter Ascending lol the rich literally harvesting entire planets so they can live together lol
Good reference!
"We should eat the rich"
Yes, come to the oligvore side, we have the bestest cookies... _gives the oligarchy a disturbing smile_
oligovore, eh? hmmm ...., hmmmm ..., hmmmmmm ... ... ..., i like it.
Too much risk of getting wasting diseases. How about making them into pet food for dogs and cats?
Some rich folks saw the "Vampires as an analogy for the rich" concept and was like "Yeah... I should do that. Be rich, take blood from the young, live forever."
Spending so much time trying not to die that you forgot to live
I would like to announce the formation of the anti-problem society. Now that I have combined the prefix anti with something that I don't like all problems have disappeared
I'd comment on the contents of the video, but for the moment.... I'm speechless.
HOWEVER, the Silly Little Guide was AMAZING and I highly highly recommend it. I honestly started putting some whimsy in my life right after seeing it, and my bad day improved. Genuinely, thanks, Emma!
24:55 - “swap blood with his son”; okay, assuming it actually worked, wouldn’t that mean it’d work both ways, and the blood he’s giving his son would make his son age faster? 🤨
Finally a course that interests me! I'm always aspiring to be a sillier lil guy
Lichdom is literally less evil
So what I'm hearing is drink red wine, eat olives and practice Tai Chi. OK then! That's doable.
I am afraid the common link is hard physical work everyday, eat lots of vegetables, cook simple meals and live somewhere without pollution.
@@pattheplanter A steak is simple. The salad I just ate was complicated.
the red wine will do more harm than good.
@@pattheplanter I also remember reading somewhere that you're supposed to only ever eat to 80% fullness at most. Sounds miserable.
@ButConsiderThis I didn't say I was following that advice 😉 same goes for everything else these dudes are doing though. They're latching on to minuscule effects found in questionable studies that most people either aren't taking seriously, or aren't prepared to change their lives for. I'm like Emma: I'd rather enjoy the life I have than live a long one while depriving myself.
Many Japanese seniors depend on the money from their monthly"social security" checks for survival. Losing this money can be devastating for a family, often seniors themselves. Because of this, it's not uncommon for someone's family to conceal their relative's death for *decades* not to lose the needed income.
You're my favourite weird little guy!
That opening shot sealed the deal for me. The weirdest little guy.
Weird silly little guy* 😉

@@PlayItOnEasyis English a Verb?
26:55 I get a similar feeling and now I wonder if there are studies on where the "too rich to see other people as human beings" line is ...
If they want to help society they can start by paying taxes.
Yes, and donating to worthy causes. Mosquito nets will save lives and don't cost that much. If you are rich, no doubt you can get them made with your name printed on them.
It doesn't play into their catchphrase of helping themselves so they can help others. This is clearly all about them.
The idea of the super rich living forever is genuinely horrific. Imagine the ten richest people alive today living forever, hoarding more and more wealth and resources, taking more and more from everyone else. Forever. As of 2020, those ten richest men possess more wealth than the bottom 3.1 billion people in the world combined.
Emma's transformation into Kent Hovind: 97% complete.
Under rated comment, I can't unsee it
hovind should be so lucky ...
She's just missing the funny necktie!
@@Arosukir6
And the wife beating.
@@burningmisery And the shite opinions about things like evolution... Really, the only "Kent Hovind" thing going on with Emma is that awful shirt.
After watching your video in its entirety, I am confident that you will never try to alter your natural aging. Kudos to you, Emma!
500 dollars? For half that I'll tell them they look whatever age they want. It'll be like a mind placebo.
I think Emma hit the nail when she mentioned "trends". if you want to do buccal fat removal to have a more "streamlined" face, that is fine I guess. but when you are doing it because all your peers are doing it and you need to fit in, or because you want to look like your idols to feel you have the same worth as them. that is when it starts becoming unhealthy. the problem is that the beauty industry trives on that, on showing how if you don't fit you are nothing, so you need to spend your hard earned money to fit.
Millionaires will literally turn into a blood-themed supervillain before going to therapy.
Well at least he"s not throwing his money at a carnival hawker & their homebase submarine trips.
That was one of the smoothest transitions to an advertisement! "Yes, let's address the elephant in the room. My glasses are fabulous!" Lol. I literally perked up and listened. Brilliant!
Wait...he thinks a younger person's plasma has to do with the speed of aging process...
So he "swaps" it from HIS SON.
The incredible selfishness.
We struggled to get a doctor to order Vit D blood test bc they knew insurance won't usually cover it despite a *severe* deficiency.
Took 4 years to get a sleep test to diagnose my narcolepsy...
I SWEAR TO GRAVITY THESE PEOPLE ARE DREADFUL.
Absolutely f-ing awful.
I will have to remember the Swear to Gravity. We need some new oaths for new times.
And to have a child to farm for replacement parts is incredibly narcissistic.
Tech bros hate the Grim Reaper cause he's so egalitarian.
It's impossible to become immortal the moment you're conceived because one's genome can't be rewritten anything beyond a blastocyst. Only babies conceived artificially can there be some designer kids with significantly longer lifespans.
Technology is usually agnostic and usually very helpful, but billionaire immortality is seriously dystopian. They're John Galty mindset of maybe they could cheat death or disease, or create utopia, but would deliberately make it artificially scarce. Men at the top kinda filter out to be sociopathic and would need to engineer a very unfair world.
Okinawa is an island far southward (26N) from mainland Japan. They tend to have a laid-back attitude toward life, at least compared to most Japanese. When the rest of us Japanese learned about their comparative longevity, the media's response was "By golly, it must be the food!" I mean, Okinawan food does have its benefits, but I'm guessing it's the warm climate and lower stress levels that do most of the heavy lifting.
Far south? It was within single engine aircraft of Kyushu, maybe on a one way trip. It is say the distance between Washington DC and Atlanta Georgia.
@@PeteOttonIs it? I stand corrected. It seems farther, though.
EDIT: After a bit of googling, I found that Japan spreads from about 45N to 31N. Okinawa is 26N, which is about a third of the length more to the south. To a native Japanese who generally defaults to his country as the standard, that's pretty far south - even if it's not much by global standards.
To quote a classic lyrical line from the group QUEEN, from the 1986 film THE HIGHLANDER, goes to the forever question of, “WHO WANTS TO LIVE FOREVER?…”
I love the part about blood being from carefully selected donors who live healthy lifestyle and have proper BMI...it screams for a parody book, when a foodie becomes a vampire
When Howard Hughes became this obsessed we felt very sad for him. Now we put them on magazine covers.
Also... 150 supplements a day and avoiding sugar seems incredibly stressful.
“Young and old mice being brought together…”
Oh that sounds adorable!
“…to share a circulatory system.”
You monsters!
OK children, listen to your Aunty Argy.
I am 57. I look like I am 57 year old version of myself.
I don’t dress like other women my age. I dress in slacks or shorts, and a fantastic range of vintage band T shirts, which weren’t vintage when I saw those bands. Those T shirts remind me of great times.
I have also inherited hair that has only grayed a little bit around the temples. A family trait.
However, I haven’t had plastic surgery.
I wouldn’t want to. It would make me stand out too much from people my age, and my style of dress already does that, a bit.
I have seen my grandparents, and my parents, and my husband’s parents live into their 90s. They all lost their damn minds.
Most of them were miserable about that.
They also got a range of health problems, including diabetes, strokes, hernias, the usual stuff.
I don’t wish to live into my 90s. People always think it would be great to live until then, but your body does start to break down.
And who, in fuck’s name, wants to avoid sugar so they can live longer? What kind of bullshit is that?
If you have to take 160 pills, that will take up a significant chunk of your day.
That doesn’t sound like living, to me.
Enjoy your life. Give money to charity. Help your friends.
Then, when you get older you won’t be so scared about dying.
I’m not scared about it. I have done everything I really wanted to do.
A few years ago I saw a 'Horizon' programme (iirc) on ageing, and one of the researchers said that he believed that the first person to live for a thousand years is alive now!
There is such a thing as over-diagnosis. Doing scans and tests more than you need can counterintuitively lead to worse outcomes.
Also most likely that these people live long lives despite their alcohol consumption. Not due to it.
I'd personally like to live forever since the alternative is oblivion. But I want to do that through that crazy thing called science.
Science didn't manage to come up with a natural hairline for Musk, or solve the problem of his 'Dracula' eyebrows.
Maybe he wanted to look like that?
I hate to argue from incredulity, but I have a hard time believing anyone wants to look like Elon Musk.

Live near a large school of such folks. Seems nice I enough, they offer classes on eating pescatarian.

"What do you mean you can't afford a daily bath in virgin's blood?"
The claims against Lady Bathory were probably made up. It is never a good idea to hold the king's debts, unless you're stronger than him but don't want the headaches of ruling the country. See What the French King did to the Knights Templar, with the Pope's blessing.
Millionaires were super rich back when touch tone phones were a new thing. In 10 years they'll be middle class (if thats still a thing by then).
Many people who are millionaires (just a couple million, not tens or hundreds), are very much middle class. MAKING a million a year and HAVING a million are very different things. Making a million is rich, having a million is just having planned for retirement in the US.
@@toniprekker Exactly, if you have a few million sitting idle, you are likely putting that money to work for you, not having to work for it.
I would not eat this man. He looks pumped full of unwholesome additives.
I have a plan to live forever. So far, so good.
My anti-aging tips:
1. Moderate exercise.
2. Eat whatever.
3. Wear sunblock when spending time outdoors.
Don't forget insect repellent to keep ticks at bay.
i'm 59, but i have the beer belly of a man 20 years younger ...

Don't forget Howard Hughes and King George III of the UK.
Frightening. Thanks for the exposé! Your criticism of “self care” in this context is right on.
This is one of those occasions where I agree with you. I don't understand the point of living forever. It's a strange fascination that stems from the fear of death. I love this video.
Out of topic but your gudetama shirt is really really cool.
