Tech billionaire and anti-aging influencer Bryan Johnson responded plainly that he doesn’t imagine he’s going to die, because of his way of life.
Johnson appeared on The Free Press’ “Truthfully” podcast with Bari Weiss on Tuesday to speak about his latest Netflix documentary “Don’t Die: The Man Who Needs to Dwell Ceaselessly” which detailed his strict regime for the objective of reaching immortality.
Calling himself “quantitatively” the healthiest individual on report, Johnson answered outright that he doesn’t imagine he’ll die, although he was unclear about dwelling “eternally.”Â
“Do you assume that you simply’re going to die?” Weiss requested.

“No,” Johnson answered.
Weiss adopted up, “You assume you’re going to stay eternally?”
“Ceaselessly just isn’t an idea the human thoughts can ponder, however will we have the ability to radically prolong life past our preconceived imaginations? Sure,” Johnson replied. “Will it occur earlier than my pure restrict proper now? My life expectancy might be like, I don’t know, 80, 90, stuff like that if I preserve my well being. However the expertise is shifting so rapidly that…the species is both going to outlive or die on this second a lot ahead of my life expectancy will flip up.”
Johnson’s way of life consists of going to mattress at 8:30 p.m., monitoring nighttime erections and even infusing his teenage son’s plasma into his blood stream.
When pressed about whether or not he’s “lacking the issues that make life,” Johnson elaborated that mankind’s data of life continues to be restricted.
“Let’s simply think about we’re doing a thought experiment,” Johnson started, “we’re hanging out with Homo erectus. They existed a million years in the past. And we are saying to Homo erectus ‘Homo erectus, inform us, what’s the goal of life?’ And so they’re going to grunt and be like ‘properly, it’s about looking and gathering, and we’re going to maneuver our tribe. We’re going to have extra warfare.’ They wouldn’t have the ability to inform you about quantum mechanics or about smartphones or about antibiotics or in regards to the electromagnetic spectrum or about this new type of AI artwork. They’re not ideas that they perceive.”
He continued, “They wouldn’t have the ability to converse intelligently about what an exquisite life is. They’re simply so primitive of their thought processes. We’re as primitive as Homo erectus as we’re to AI. We’re equally as primitive. We can not say something clever in regards to the future anymore. So the concept that we one way or the other have mastered existence and that we all know what the aim of existence is so foolish of a notion.”
He added that it’s essential that folks stay “extremely humble” when considering existence and inspired listeners “to dissolve our preconceived notions about what it means” when attempting to attain this way of life.

Johnson spoke to Fox Information Digital final 12 months about his way of life and boiled his perspective right down to the easy mantra “don’t die.”
“Once you’re child steps away from having the powers of the gods, on this case, synthetic intelligence, the one foe is dying,” he added. “There is not any different foe. It is not a time to lift armies and conquer territory. That is a recreation for the earlier centuries of Homo sapiens. It is not a recreation for us now. So, we’re simply at a distinct period of being human, and we have to replace our gameplay as a species to grasp the place we’re at.”
