Bryan Johnson, a 46-year-old millionaire tech entrepreneur in Venice, California, is quietly working on what he believes could be ‘the most significant revolution in the history of Homo sapiens.’ Johnson's ‘Blueprint’ journey began over three years ago when he embarked on a mission to avoid death. This unconventional approach includes consuming a staggering 111 pills daily, wearing a special cap emitting red light onto his scalp, monitoring nighttime erections with a miniature jet pack, and even collecting stool samples. Johnson sees any behavior that accelerates aging, such as indulging in a cookie or getting less than eight hours of sleep, as an ‘act of violence’ against the body.
Johnson invested more than $4 million in Blueprint, a system that involves outsourcing every decision about his body to a team of doctors armed with data to develop a strict health regimen designed to reduce his ‘biological age,’ as reported by TIME magazine.
