Brian Johnson a Visionary or Going Through a Midlife Crisis?

I've been reading a lot about Brian Johnson lately—the tech entrepreneur and billionaire who is now dedicating his life to reducing the speed of his aging, and even trying to reverse it to become biologically younger. He's got this whole regimen, from diet and exercise to cutting-edge technologies, and he documents it all under his "Blueprint" project. His goal is to achieve longevity escape velocity, essentially outpacing the aging process.

On one hand, I think it's pretty inspiring that someone is pushing the boundaries of what's possible with human health and longevity. It seems like he’s trying to pave the way for a future where aging isn’t such a fixed and inevitable process.
Maybe we all could benefit one day and stay youthful both in terms of how we look and feel.
I hope so.

On the other hand, part of me wonders if this is just an extreme reaction to hitting midlife. Is he trying to avoid the reality of getting older, or is there something deeper here—a genuine attempt to change the course of human aging?

What do you all think? Is Brian Johnson a visionary who’s ahead of his time, or is he just going through a really intense midlife crisis? Would love to hear your thoughts!

Visionary.

Midlife crisis.

See results.

Dude's not just putting his money where his mouth is. He's putting in a lot of effort to achieve this.

Nothing wrong with living a healthy lifestyle. In fact, it's advisable. But I think he's putting himself through a lot of extra needless misery. I'm a firm believer in we'll be here as long as the good lord sees fit and not a second more. I think this is a feeble attempt to be immortal something I think is going to disappoint him. But it's not necessarily a waste he might make some valuable discovery along the way that advances society. And that in a way will give him a form of immortality. Just not the one he seeks.

Its all of course cost relative , and there is the aspect that if everyone is going to live to 150 odd , we need to work and contribute a lot longer than we are now , and all processed food and sugars need to be outlawed , things cannot carry on as now..

I've followed his story , a really interesting guy , and far too young to be mid life , my intent is to make 104 and " Raise the bat " .

But , my daughters could make 150 .

Just seems to me like a highly intelligent guy who marches to the beat of his own drum, is living his dream and doing some good things in the world while he goes about it.

I don't really know. In any case, I hope we'll be able to reduce the ageing process.

I have actually been following him for a while and find him a fascinating individual.

I hope so as well.

A bit of both, I think. Of course he fears his mortality, we all do to some degree whether we want to admit it or not, but it's cool to see someone with resources like that dedicate his life to this kind of research. It can do nothing but help the rest of humanity.

[Serkee]

And hey, this kind of research is how we get cyborgs, and cyborgs are cool.

Probably both but he has the money to try to figure out why we age and to slow it down or least be in good shape into our 90s and beyond, stopping disease is part of the problem and even aging is probably considered a disease with no cure so hopefully he comes up with something that can help everyone like curing cancer which usually gets us as we get older since it’s not common in younger people but does happen, genetics plays a big part in everything though

As long as his research stands the tests of the usual peer-reviewed studies, I am all for it. I find his theories interesting.

I must confess to having never heard of him.

He is a rich guy with way too much time on his hands.

Someone should tell him that mitosis leads to shorter genetic telomeres and it's all in vain. Fool!

[RingOfFire]

Pfffft. That's nothing. I plan to live until age 1,000. And so far so good. 👍

I wonder if sny of it works

The guy is an idiot
