People are upset because this person has the means to effect real altruistic change but instead is pretending to do science in a purely selfish effort.
I hope that explains it. I have no horse in this race.
It's the opposite of selfish, he's publishing all of this findings to the internet for everyone to see and use.
It's not pretend, he's actually carrying out methodology, posting results and showing what's effective
His methodology is a joke. Throw everything against the wall and hope something sticks. He has no way of telling which of the many experiments is successful, he's a walking collection of confounding factors.
Also, if he were somehow able to find something that outperforms the null hypothesis, and against all odds, find out which treatment it actually is, he could just go drop the performative altruism, go private on it and try to monetize it.
Well yeah he's trying many things at once because he wants to extend his life and live the greatest lifestyle. It's not 100% an experiment. Some of it is just trying to live a longer life through healthy options.
He can read the results for different areas. Ie sleep, how long, when and how that affects his well being.
He's trying to do a good thing and ask you guys can do is bitterly try and tear it down. I think you guys have an agenda.
