Bryan Johnson, a biohacker, faces criticism but remains undeterred in his quest for eternal youth.
Los Angeles: So, there’s this guy named Bryan Johnson. He’s a biohacker who really wants to live forever. He’s been making waves on social media with his wild ideas about eternal youth. One of his methods? Injecting himself with his teenage son’s blood plasma. Yeah, you heard that right!
Johnson spends a jaw-dropping $2 million a year on this quest. He got the cash after selling his tech company, Braintree Venmo, to PayPal for $800 million back in 2013. Talk about a serious investment in life!
He calls his mission ‘Don’t Die’ and believes that beating death would be the ultimate human achievement. He even has a Netflix documentary about it, called ‘Don’t Die: The Man Who Wants to Live Forever’. Pretty catchy, huh?
With nearly 450,000 followers on X and another 250,000 on TikTok, he shares his journey and methods. But not everyone is cheering him on. He’s faced a lot of negativity online, and he’s curious about why.
Recently, he took to X to ask his followers, “Haters, what’s your beef with me?” The responses poured in, with over 2,500 comments. One user even called him a “vampire” for avoiding the sun. But Johnson clarified that he doesn’t completely shun sunlight. He knows it has benefits, like helping with vitamin D production.
He’s all about sleep too, claiming he has “the best sleep in the world.” Sleep is a big part of his anti-aging plan, which he shares with his followers. Some folks even suggested he change his mission’s wording to something more positive, like “Live Longer.”
Johnson has thought about this. He mentioned that people have a long history of fighting over what “living well” means. Plus, some followers think he should include religion in his blueprint for life. But honestly, he seems pretty unfazed by the criticism.
He keeps posting and sharing his journey. It looks like nothing will stop him from chasing his extreme goal of living forever!
