Was told by my wife years ago that there is a Hong Kong tycoon who has been doing this for years. Supposedly hires young people to do nothing but to stay healthy and then has transfusions of their blood.
Just checked and he is still alive at 91. But this echoes vampire.
This reminds me of plasma treatment for covid-19 which is actually proven. Perhaps someone will create a market for that.

- Ididntdothis 6y ago90 is not that old these days. Both of my parents have reached their 90s without doing anything like this. Let’s take a look at that guy in 20 years and see how he is doing.
- saiya-jin 6y agoBoth of my grandparents from dad's side are 93 and still doing relatively well - self-sufficient, nothing horrible looming that we are aware of. Genes, good eating habits and healthy dose of exercise (rather low/medium effort that lasts long like gardening or foraging mushrooms in their case), coupled with obvious things like no addictions... and voila. They both had very good work ethics, on a level I can only envy (thanks to communists that didn't get them far professionally but that's another story and it didn't bother them). Bad part is, all of their friends and colleagues are dead by now. They can only meet their kids' generation.
- Ididntdothis 6y ago“Bad part is, all of their friends and colleagues are dead by now. They can only meet their kids' generation.“ My mum says it gets weird when people your own age you know start dying in numbers but even weirder when people much younger start dying.
- coryfklein 6y ago> 90 is not that old these days True but Hong Kong life expectancy for men is 81.3 years so one should still consider this evidence in favor of the man doing something that extends his lifespan. Doesn't need to be smoking-gun level but still: update your priors.

- babesh 6y agoI'm not going to take a side here but just wanted to point out that the previous poster is referring to conditional probability. P(works|someone doing this is 91) > P(works). n is 1 here so the probability hasn't changed much at all.
