A lot of people who say they’re after health and longevity are primarily interested in *looking* younger for longer, so they can continue to get certain kinds of attention for longer.
Confronted with the choice between doing something they believe will make them appear younger for longer, versus something that might benefit health without the perceived appearance benefit, they will reliably choose the former.
Someone like Madonna got all that plastic surgery because she believed it would make her look younger, for longer.
Her root desire was to keep harvesting a certain kind of attention from people.
Her desire for that attention was strong enough to convince her that she had sufficient knowledge to successfully achieve her goal by putting that knowledge into practice.
Many would say her beliefs backfired, that she doesn’t look younger and more attractive. She didn’t actually posses the level of practical knowledge she thought she had to achieve her goal.
Johnson believes he and his team have sufficient knowledge of biology to render him immortal. To the extent that’s true, they will prioritize whatever promotes longevity, whether or not it makes him LOOK younger.
To the extent his root desire is like Madonna’s, to LOOK a certain way in order to harvest attention, they will filter and warp the available science to rationalize doing things they believe will make him LOOK a certain way, whether or not those things provide true longevity benefit.
From our earliest days as infants to final days before our inevitable deaths, the basic currency of human desire is the same: attention.
The amount and kind of attention someone wants predicts their behavior better than the stated reasons for their actions.
Will Mr. Johnson’s umbrella actually help him live longer?
Is that his ultimate goal, or is his root desire attention?
@cagribesta kahve adrenalin yoluyla zaten muhteşem hissettirmez, sen kahveyi içtiğinde hızlanan metabolizman kan şekerini düşürür şeker düştüğü için kortizol adrenalin salgılanır. Kahveyi sağlam bi yakıtla alınca normal etkisini adrenalinsiz yakalarsın
@fiImoutae if yoğurt would be greek, they wouldn't have to call it "greek", but in that sense you can never find a Turk, who is calling yoğurt as a "turkish yoğurt" since we all know the name is Turkish
v60'da kahve demlerken suyun derecesi, ne zaman kaç gram suyla blooming yaptığın demlerken kaç defa ara verdiğin falan bunların hepsinin kahvenin tadına bu kadar fazla etki etmesi inanılmaz bi şey
