Meet Bryan Johnson, a 46-year-old tech entrepreneur with a net worth of $400M.

He’s not just another Silicon Valley tycoon; he’s a man on a mission to defy mortality.

He is spending $2M a year to try reverse the aging process and lower his biological age.

Is he insane, misled, delusional or just optimistic?

The first time I heard of him and his lifestyle, I literally thought to myself: “Nope, I do not want to live like that”.

But to each his own and I do appreciate that he is using his own body for science and experimenting for the betterment of humanity.

Bryan made his fortune by selling his business, Braintree, to PayPal for a staggering $800 million.

That is life-changing wealth on any account.

But what’s money if you can’t live to enjoy it?

Now, he’s funneling millions into a life-extension system called Blueprint.

Imagine a life where every decision about your body is outsourced to a team of doctors who use data analytics to keep you young.

Literally an entire laboratory of scientists determined to measure, quantify, calculate and adjust everything you do, eat, take, make or think about in your life.

Simply put, Bryan wants to live forever.

He is taking 111 pills a day, wearing a red-light baseball cap, and even sleeping with a “jet pack” attached to his penis to monitor his nighttime erections.

His diet follows a plant-based diet made up of a daily green juice, three specific meals, dark chocolate or avocado, and olive oil — totaling 2,250 calories.

I checked out some of the recipes.

I don’t even recognize half the ingredients I read.

It’s not just a regimen; it’s a full-time job.

Why the obsession with eternal youth?

Bryan views aging as an “act of violence,” a natural process that he’s determined to combat.

He’s not alone.

The Economist recently reported that slowing human aging is now a subject of serious research.

But let’s not forget, this is an area that also attracts “chancers and charlatans,” as many in mainstream science and medicine would argue.

Biohacking, the practice of manipulating one’s biology for better performance, is at the core of Bryan’s daily routine.

But is it ethical?

Or even sustainable?

For Johnson, it’s obviously possible.

For the average Joe, not so much.

The costs alone are prohibitive, not to mention the time and commitment required.

But should we even aspire to live forever?

Imagine the social, economic, and environmental implications.

Overpopulation, resource scarcity, and the ethical dilemma of who gets to live longer and why.

Can our current cities, government and infrastructure support humanity if everyone lived forever?

Bryan’s quest for immortality is as fascinating as it is controversial.

It raises so many questions about the ethics of biohacking, the sustainability of such a lifestyle, and the broader implications of life extension.

Would you want to live forever if you could?
