He has defended his ridiculous routine, one that leaves at most a couple hours of free time a day, as an experiment. He claims to be a guinea pig testing live extending strategies for all of us.
But. He isn’t doing this “experiment” scientifically. If he lives to 150 years old. He will not be able to pinpoint which of the hundreds of supplements he takes daily resulted in his longevity. He will not be able to say if it was the different treatments or the multiple hours of exercise. If he is still in good health at 175 years old, the only advice he will be able to give, is to dedicate 22 hours of every day to a ridiculously expensive self-care routine, that has been tested on one person, with no control groups, and that requires constantly stealing blood from your child.
In theory, running a scientific experiment on yourself in order to better understand how to increase human life spans would be noble. But what he’s doing has the scientific rigor of throwing a hundred different things at the wall and seeing which one might stick. This isn’t carefully considering how to increase the quality of life for people, it’s a vanity project from a man who knows that the fires of hell await him and is doing everything he can to avoid his eternal fate.
Of course, there’s still a very good chance that anyone of the hundreds of supplements that he’s taking is actually shortening his life. I look forward to reading about his liver failing in the next couple years.
If dude lives to be 150, that absolutely advances science!
No, we won’t know which of his wacky hijinks did it, but we will learn that it is possible and that some combination of the stuff he did actually works.
The science would then be mechanical: try different combinations of his experiments, and see what makes people’s lives longer.
He’s got an experiment population of exactly one. The only way for his one lifespan to be relevant to science is if it is a historic outlier.
