Bryan Johnson discusses biohacking and longevity in interview
— Why do I even have to defend the thesis that life is good? — Bryan Johnson asks, identifying as the most recognizable face of the biohacking movement and describing himself as a messiah-like figure proclaiming that death can be outsmarted, as onet.pl reported. This is the first time in 2,000 years that people are starting to wonder, “Do I believe in life after death? Or maybe not?
he adds, speaking in an interview with The Telegraph. The 49-year-old multimillionaire, whose medical team claims his biological age is 18, maintains that his regimen can reverse cellular aging despite recently acquiring a chronic stomach condition.
Johnson Tracks Biological Processes with Strict Daily Routines
Johnson consumes 111 pills daily, eats his final meal at 11:00 AM, and goes to sleep at 8:30 PM. He monitors every biological process, tracking nocturnal erections and comparing the data against his 21-year-old son’s metrics, sharing those statistics publicly with millions of followers.
During one prominent experiment, Johnson received a liter of blood plasma from his then-17-year-old son. He abandoned those monthly transfusions after six months upon observing no detectable benefits.
Skeptics Mock Johnson After Autoimmune Gastritis Diagnosis
In June, Johnson announced a diagnosis of autoimmune atrophic gastritis, a condition where the body attacks its own stomach lining with no known cure. He stated that the illness bears no connection to his longevity regimen and vowed to resolve it. Skeptics online responded with widespread mockery and schadenfreude.
— I think people have an innate desire to watch the main protagonist fail in their mission — Johnson explains, noting that observers find satisfaction in watching someone wealthy attempt to challenge death.
Johnson Wants Health Rules for Leaders and Builds AI Clone
Johnson maintains that world leaders should face stricter health transparency rules, pointing out that U.S. presidents win elections at advanced ages, such as Donald Trump at 78 and Joe Biden at 77. He argues that governing nations while elderly without health limits resembles the Wild West.
Should his biological interventions fall short, Johnson is developing a digital clone powered by artificial intelligence to mirror his thought processes and life experiences as a backup for his children and followers.
Philosophy Of Existence And Wealth
He denies selling delusions of immortality, stating: I am trying to build a new “Don’t Die” philosophy — a new value system.
He envisions a social transformation toward a future where the measure of value is not power or wealth, but existence itself. The philosophy on his website reads: We fight for the freedom to exist for as long as one desires.
