There are fine lines emerging on my forehead, maybe because I don't moisturize enough, but maybe as a harbinger of something greater: each day I grow closer to my own death. Soon, I will be 30. I will never be younger than I am right now. Fintech-founder-turned-longevity-guru Bryan Johnson has an offer that has caught my attention."
"For the low, low price of $1 million per year, I can pay him to show me the ropes of the "exact protocol" he's followed for the last five years. He calls the program "Immortals." Yes, a guy who has received botox injections in his genitals will teach me how to supposedly reverse the process of aging. Why shouldn't I believe that Byran Johnson has uncovered the secrets to living longer than any other human? No, he has not yet proven his capacity to outlive all other humans.
