Why Does The Former Crackhead First Son Look Better Than The Tech Mogul Who Wants To Live Forever?

This week’s He Has A Point goes to Spencer Klavan for his observation about Hunter Biden and Bryan Johnson, the creepy tech mogul who’s trying to live forever. 

Klavan compared Hunter and Bryan’s looks in side-by-side images. Considering Hunter’s body has taken a toll from his longtime crack addiction, alcohol abuse, and smoking habit, he actually doesn’t look too bad. Aside from the new dentures and possible hair transplant, he looks like any 55-year-old dude.

Johnson, on the other hand, looks waxy, like a vampire or a Madame Tussauds figure. Human, but slightly unnatural. His skin is too porcelain and wrinkle-free for his age. His hair is too dyed. His lips have a bluish hue. It kind of makes him look worse than Hunter.

The point here is not to live like Hunter Biden; it’s that men have become too obsessed with aging and optimizing their health. 

Johnson spends $2 million a year on his health. He tracks his erections during sleep, micromanages his diet, sticks to a strict workout routine, and gets blood transfusions from his son. But it’s weird. It makes him look creepy, and won’t work in the long run. He’s not going to live forever. You simply can’t mess with God and mother nature.

There’s more to longevity than having a neurotic obsession with ‘health’ and ‘diet.’ Obviously, you can’t eat red meat and hit your crack pipe at every meal, and expect to look decent by the time you turn 50. But you also don’t have to sacrifice living – enjoying simple pleasures such as McDonald’s or a six-pack of beer – in order to age gracefully.
