https://time.com/6315607/bryan-johnsons-quest-for-immortality/ ‘Johnson, 46, is a centimillionaire tech entrepreneur who has spent most of the last three years in pursuit of a singular goal: don’t die. During that time, he’s spent more than $4 million developing a life-extension system called Blueprint, in which he outsources every decision involving his body to a team of doctors, who use data to develop a strict health regimen to reduce what Johnson calls his “biological age.” That system includes downing 111 pills every day, wearing a baseball cap that shoots red light into his scalp, collecting his own stool samples, and sleeping with a tiny jet pack attached to his penis to monitor his nighttime erections. Johnson thinks of any act that accelerates aging—like eating a cookie, or getting less than eight hours of sleep—as an “act of violence.”’
I wrote about Johnson and his desire to live forever back in June 2023. The most bizarre aspect of his endeavor is that he is taking the blood of his 17-year-old son in order to keep himself young. Here’s our stack reporting
It’s easy to read of such people and think ‘he’s a narcissistic monster”. But I believe the root of his twisted thinking is fear, the opposite of faith. And without faith in God there is no peace, no joy and certainly no righteousness.
Hopefully he slips and falls, crossing over the event horizon of his vacuous and meaningless life. Once there, the tidal forces of delusion and regret will be so strong, not even the smallest glimmer of his feeble soul will be able to escape.
He would do well--very well--to read Robert Heinlein's Lazarus Long books--perhaps he has already. The picture of immortality painted in those stories is unpleasant, and painful.
This individual is self-obsessed to the point of being barely human.
He'll die without ever having truly lived.

He like Yuval Harari, doesn't want to stand before God on judgement day, so one denies there is a God and the other fears the first death. Sad.
Oh dear. Life would indeed feel eternal having to interact with someone like him! He is completely missing the point
Maybe Hollywood will turn this into a movie................another crappy output.

He must not know any khazarians. No adrenochrome.
Just looking at him, I can't seeing that it is working.
