Tech Billionaire Bryan Johnson's Quest for Radical Life Extension

Created: JANUARY 26, 2025

Tech mogul Bryan Johnson, known for his anti-aging pursuits and recent Netflix documentary "Don’t Die: The Man Who Wants to Live Forever," recently discussed his unconventional lifestyle and beliefs about mortality. In an interview on Bari Weiss's podcast "Honestly," Johnson confidently stated his disbelief in death, although he clarified his perspective on "living forever." He acknowledged that the human mind struggles to grasp the concept of eternity, but expressed optimism about the potential for significantly extending lifespans beyond current expectations. Johnson emphasized the rapid pace of technological advancement, suggesting it could dramatically alter human life expectancy within his lifetime.

Johnson's rigorous routine includes an 8:30 p.m. bedtime, meticulous health tracking, and even incorporating his son's plasma into his bloodstream. He defends his choices by arguing that humanity's understanding of life's purpose is still evolving, comparing our current knowledge to that of Homo erectus, whose comprehension of the world was limited by their time. He suggests we are similarly limited in our understanding of the future, especially in light of rapidly developing technologies like artificial intelligence.

Johnson believes we should maintain humility about our understanding of existence and be open to re-evaluating our assumptions about life's meaning. He previously articulated his philosophy to Fox News Digital as simply "don't die," highlighting the significance of overcoming death, particularly in the face of powerful emerging technologies like AI. He sees this as a new era for humanity, requiring a shift in perspective and an updated approach to life.
