I don't mind this guy. He's basically committing his time, money, and body towards being a guinea pig exploring means that could benefit us all. I do understand there are some arguments to be had about some less-than-scientific approaches to his experiments, but I don't think it totally negates the value.
Also, oh no, talking openly about penis health is uncomfortable to puritanical Western norms.
Talking about your dick is one thing. Talking about your sons dick and using your sons blood is just fucking creepy. Hope the kid gets good therapy for this crazy shit.
Fwiw, kid is 19 and seems fully on board.
This isn’t really about dick problems, though. Check the news, check socials, many people are perfectly fine these days talking about dick problems and scientifically accepted solutions.
I like when Ordinary Things had a look at him. I can't help but agree with his effort, even if his methods and theories leave a lot to be desired.
On a scale of billionaires most destructive to society, he seems to be very low on the list. One might argue he's on the list of ones at least being minorly beneficial.
But, you know, people will hate. And those people are also likely contributing little of value to society.
Yeah I don’t know enough about him, just glances at bits of content over time, but I agree. History is full of such over enthusiastic tinkerers who subject themselves to ridiculous experiments but every now and then they learn something useful. It is cringeworthy, though, and not ok if foisted on others.
