Silicon Valley’s anti-aging influencer says he doesn’t believe he’s going to die

Tech billionaire and anti-aging influencer Bryan Johnson has responded clearly that he doesn’t believe he’s going to die, thanks to his lifestyle.

Johnson appeared on The Free Press’s “Honestly” podcast with Bari Weiss on Tuesday to talk about his recent Netflix documentary “Don’t Die: The Man Who Wants to Live Forever” which details his strict diet in an effort to achieve success. ‘immortality.

“No,” Johnson replied.

Weiss continued, “You think you’re going to live forever?”

“Eternity is not a concept that the human mind can contemplate, but will we be able to radically extend life beyond our preconceived imaginations? Yes,” Johnson replied. “Will this happen before my natural limit right now? My life expectancy is probably, I don’t know, 80, 90, stuff like that if I maintain my health. But technology is changing so quickly that …the species is either I will survive or die at this point much sooner than my life expectancy will reach.”

Johnson’s lifestyle involves going to bed at 8:30 p.m., monitoring his nocturnal erections and even injecting his teenage son’s plasma into his bloodstream.

When asked if he was “missing the things that make life,” Johnson explained that humanity’s knowledge of life is still limited.

“Let’s imagine we’re doing a thought experiment,” Johnson began, “we’re hanging out with Homo erectus. They existed a million years ago. And we say to Homo erectus ‘Homo erectus, tell us, what is the aim ?’ of life? And they’ll grumble and say, “Well, it’s all about hunting and gathering, and we’re going to move our tribe. We’re going to have more war.” They couldn’t tell you about quantum mechanics. , nor smartphones, nor antibiotics, nor the electromagnetic spectrum, nor this new art form of AI These are not concepts that they understand.

He continued: “They wouldn’t be able to talk intelligently about what a good life is. They are so primitive in their thought processes. We are as primitive as Homo erectus as we are for AI. We are just as primitive. We can no longer say anything intelligent about the future. So the idea that we have mastered existence and that we know what the purpose of existence is is such a stupid notion.

He added that it’s important for people to remain “incredibly humble” when considering existence and encouraged listeners to “dissolve our preconceived notions of what that means” when attempting to adopt this style of life.

Johnson spoke to Fox News Digital last year about his lifestyle and summed up his views with the simple mantra “don’t die.”

“When you’re just a few steps away from having the powers of the gods, in this case artificial intelligence, the only enemy is death,” he added. “There is no other enemy. This is not the time to raise armies and conquer territories. This is a game for the previous centuries of Homo sapiens. This is not a game for us now. So we’re just in a different era of being human, and we need to update our gameplay as a species to understand where we are.”
