At the beginning Two fruit bowls on the Bryan Johnson kitchen island look perfect. They are full of plump kiwi, resistant avocades and ripened bananas. They are the food of the gods, as I wonder, for a man who strives to live like one. But then I look closer. A lonely orange, her skin covered with mold, is located in the vicinity of two lemons, both almost completely consumed by a layer of white fizzu. It seems that something is rotten on Johnson’s estate.
It is worth noting that this property is predictable. Johnson’s house in Venice in California is an angular, concrete apartment template, which, you assume, is the property of a man. In particular, the man who worked in technology did his millions, and then began life in mid -age, in search of a goal. Everything Johnson is, and it seems and still seems to do: after selling his online payment company, Braintree, for $ 800 million in 2013, Johnson parted with both his wife and Mormon’s religion for life. In 2021 he announced Project BluePrint, an effort aimed at reversing the aging process of his own body. This includes a versatile, unverified scheme, including daily exercises, blood tests, doctrinal sleep routine, MRI, plasma transfers, scalp stimulants, urine tests, several dozen supplements, Dexa scans, lithe therapy and calorie reduction.
If the rotting fruit did not give it away, it is not, it is not a kitchen in which household memories are produced by milk and cookies – although the collage of forthright photos recorded over Johnson’s furnace offers notes of family heat. (Johnson has three children, one of whom is infamous in the scope of transmitting data on his youthful erections and his own plasma into his father’s anti -aging efforts.) This is finally a kitchen that divides the house with sperm specimens and Johnson’s blood cooices; Where pills and powders, which I consider to be meticulously equipped with Johnson’s pantry, are mixed, optimized and consumed; Where food is not consumed as much as nutrition is performed.
Performance is of course Johnson’s specialty. There is a performance of his body, which, according to Johnson, is now the healthiest on earth. And it is how this body appears in watching, what he does quite often. Johnson was the subject of dozens of profiles and interviews, as well as the Netflix document published at the beginning of this year. He gathered over 4 million followers on YouTube, Instagram and X, and publishes a continuous stream of content about his sleep habits (Sublime), his diet (meticulously) and its erections (trigger warning). Johnson also used his online reach to repel the recent controversy, including a legal battle with his ex -fiancee Tazyn Southern, and Investigation in the New York Times In its extensive utilize of confidentiality contracts, to prevent, among others, employees who publicly published to talk about Johnson, as well as about his business matters.
During the 90-minute conversation, Johnson spoke for a long time about his long-term protocol, assessment of the MAHA RFK Jr. movement. And those contracts that he still enforces. He also took care of me – and all of you – that it was not about health and longevity. No, like most technologies living in boxing modernist houses and the immeasurable illusions, Johnson has a modern holy Grail with whom you can revive his faithful subsequent: artificial intelligence, child.
