Tech Mogul Bryan Johnson's Quest to Cheat Death
20 Oct
Summary
- Bryan Johnson spends $2m annually on longevity experiments.
- He aims to radically slow or reverse biological ageing.
- Johnson views death as a solvable technological problem.
Bryan Johnson, a prominent figure in the biohacking movement, is dedicating $2 million annually to a data-driven pursuit of slowing or reversing biological ageing. He conceptualizes ageing as a technological challenge, aiming to conquer mortality. Johnson aspires to be a 'messiah-type figure,' preaching that death can be mastered and that his generation will be the first to overcome it.
His "Blueprint" protocol mandates a strict vegan diet, dozens of daily supplements, and meticulous monitoring of bodily functions. Johnson claims his biological age is 18, despite being 49. He dismisses criticisms of his expensive quest as the envy of those who wish to see him fail.
Johnson's ambition extends to influencing global leaders, expressing interest in Donald Trump's health data. He also advocates for age limits in political office, comparing ageing in leadership to the risks of driving under the influence. Furthermore, he is developing a digital clone by uploading his thoughts and experiences into an AI model as a legacy for his family and followers.
