I watched Bryan Johnson trip on mushrooms for 5 hours. I've lost my grip on reality.

"Like thousands of people watching the livestream on X, YouTube, or Instagram, I spent a portion of my Sunday watching "Bryan Johnson Takes Magic Mushrooms," a new entry into the Thanksgiving family entertainment canon in which Johnson took 5.24 milligrams of mushrooms, a near-heroic dose, "for science." I watched the entire five-and-a-half-hour production, "for journalism," to document a new phase in tech elites' evolving experimentation with psychedelics."

"Observing the entrepreneur touch God's flesh in a plant-filled living room, share how he felt like a newborn baby while peeing, and be joined by his son, his father, Grimes, Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff, and several other business leaders cheering him on and extolling the virtues of longevity science was a surreal, moving, and at times nauseating trip itself - and I fear my grip with reality may now be permanently lost."

"Johnson's life's mission is to vanquish death. As he notes on the livestream, he is "targeting 2039 as the date we arrest aging." To do this, he is spending $2 million a year on an elaborate daily anti-aging regimen that includes 5 a.m. light therapy, several dozen supplements, an hour of exercise, and eating a macadamia nut pomegranate juice, and pea protein mixture he calls "nutty pudding.""

Bryan Johnson, a 48-year-old centimillionaire longevity influencer, livestreamed a five-and-a-half-hour high-dose psilocybin session with a spiritual guide and several prominent guests. He consumed 5.24 milligrams of mushrooms and described sensations of nimbleness and youthfulness during the trip. Thousands watched the event across social platforms. Johnson pursues arresting aging by 2039 and spends roughly $2 million annually on a comprehensive anti-aging protocol including early-morning light therapy, dozens of supplements, daily exercise, and a macadamia-pomegranate-pea protein beverage called "nutty pudding." He proposes psychedelics could help extend lifespan via reduced inflammation and increased neuroplasticity.
