Bryan Johnson will die

At the beginning, the Two fruit bowls on Bryan Johnson’s cuisine are perfect. They are full of chubby kiwis, resistant avocado and accrued bananas. These are the food of the gods, I imagine, for a man who aspires to live like one. But then I look more closely. A lonely orange, his skin bends with mold, is adjacent to two lemons, both almost entirely consumed by a layer of white fuzz. Something, apparently, is rotten in Johnson’s estate.

That estate, it is worth noting, is foreseeable. Johnson’s house in Venice, California, is the corner model as long as cement of a house that is presumed to be owned by a man. In particular, a man who worked in technology did his millions and subsequently undertaken a post-mid-age research. All that Johnson is, and has done, and still seems to do: after selling his company of web payments, Braintree, for $ 800 million in 2013, Johnson separated both with his wife and with his religion murmurs throughout his life. In 2021 he announced the project project, an effort designed to reverse the aging process of one’s body. This involves an unprocated and unknown regime, included but not limited to daily exercises, blood tests, sleep doctrinal routine, magnetic resonance imaging, plasma transfers, scalp stimulants, urine tests, different dozen supplements, dexa scans, light therapy and caloric restriction.

If the decomposition fruit did not give it away, then no, this is not a cuisine in which domestic memories are made on milk and biscuits, although a collage of sincere photos recorded above the Johnson stove offers hints of family warmth. (Johnson has three children, one of whom is famous for having donated data on his youth erections and his plasma to the anti-aging efforts of his father.) This is a kitchen, after all, which shares a house with cups of seed and cooling of Johnson’s blood; Where pills and dust, which I meticulously supplied in Johnson’s Walk-in pantry, are mixed, optimized and consumed; Where food is not eaten as much as nutrition is performed.

The performance, of course, is Johnson’s specialty. There is the performance of his body, which Johnson supports is now the healthiest single on earth. And there is how that body manifests itself to the public, which does quite often. Johnson was the subject of dozens of profiles and interviews, as well as a Netflix documentary published at the beginning of this year. He has accumulated over 4 million followers on YouTube, Instagram and X and publishes a flow during content on his (sublime) sleep habits, his (meticulous) diet and his erections (trigger warning). Johnson also used his online scope to reject recent disputes, including a legal battle with his ex -girlfriend Taryn Southern and a Investigation of the New York Times In his wide use of confidentiality agreements to prevent, among other things, the employees of the project to publicly speak of Johnson and his business relationships.

During a 90 -minute conversation, Johnson spoke for a long time of his longevity protocol, his evaluation of the Maha movement of RFK Jr. and those agreements that he continues to enforce. He also did great things to convince me – and all of you – that it was not just health and longevity. No, like most of the technological men who live in modernist houses Boxy and saddle of illusions of grandeur, Johnson has a new Holy Grail with which to galvanize his faithful following: artificial, small intelligence.
