Immortality through AI: Bryan Johnson Shows You How to Outsmart Death
🧠 This Week in Well Wired: Immortality, Integrity & Inner Peace (ish)
Let’s get weird: AI is close to stretching your lifespan like it’s a digital elastic band, but do you really want 200 years of extra living? From Bryan Johnson’s age-reversal rituals to lab-grown youth serums, we’re diving into the question no one asks out loud: is eternal life just a fancier form of avoidance?
Also inside: the Germans are quietly nailing worker wellbeing (and it’s got nothing to do with post-war motivational posters), AI health-tech is under the microscope, again, and yoga proves it still belongs to the living, thank you very much.
Tech can crunch your genome, but it can’t hold your breath. Yet.
And of course, remember that Well Wired ⚡ ALWAYS serves you the latest AI-health, productivity and personal growth insights, ideas, news and prompts from around the planet. We’ll do the research so you don’t have to! ❤️

💡 AI Idea of The Day 💡
A valuable tip, idea, or hack to help you harness AI
for wellbeing, spirituality, or self-improvement.
Self Growth: Biohack Your Age Without the Waiting Room 🧬⏳
Forget green pastel waiting rooms, weird and uncomfortable consultations and pokey needles. Now you can harness AI-powered biohacking to shortcut anti-ageing and live longer.
Biohacking pioneer Dave Asprey swears by AI's ability to decode your biology without endless doctor's appointments or bizarre bio-hacking beauty routines like Bryan Johnson (see article below).
As the tech advances, we can now use AI to crunch through wearable data and health metrics so that advanced and novice biohackers can now pinpoint exactly what's ageing them prematurely; stress, sleep patterns, even tiny nutritional gaps.
Here’s your next-level move:
Next time you’re feeling creaky (or just curious if your body’s secretly ageing in dog years), throw this prompt into GPT:
Enhanced Prompt – AI Age Reversal Insight 🧬
[Start of Prompt]
Act as my personal AI biohacking consultant.
About me:
Age: [Your age]
Sleep Habits: [Describe sleep patterns—duration, quality, consistency, typical bedtime/wake time]
Daily Stressors: [List main stress factors—work, relationships, lifestyle]
Diet: [Briefly describe your typical daily meals, frequency, types of food, and hydration levels]
General Fitness Routine: [Briefly outline your weekly physical activities, frequency, intensity, and types of exercise]
Task:
Based on these details, identify the specific factors that may be accelerating my biological ageing. Clearly explain how each factor relates directly to ageing. Provide personalised, achievable recommendations for immediate lifestyle adjustments—focusing exclusively on non-medical interventions—that can help reverse or slow this ageing process. Format your response clearly and concisely, prioritising actions by greatest positive impact.
[End of Prompt]
Peeling back the biological clock doesn’t need a white coat, thousands in skin creams or a boring health routine; just a clever digital assistant.
It’s time to give ageing the boot.
Your new fountain of youth?
It’s running on code and conscious decisions…

Immortality through AI: Bryan Johnson Shows You How to Outsmart Death: Biohack, Upload, Repeat.

“Dead Man Walking: He Says He’ll Never Die by Using AI”
Imagine sitting across from a guy who claims he’ll never die.
That’s Bryan Johnson for you; biohacker-in-chief, ex‑Mormon box‑d w/ three kids, who sold Braintree for US$800 million and now spends a reported US$2 million a year on a near‑religious experiment called Project Blueprint.
He tracks every molecular tick; sleep, erections, organ scans, even plasma (yes, from his teenage son). His body, he claims, is the “healthiest on Earth”.
But the real witchcraft?
He’s building a narcissistic digital clone of himself called “Bryan AI”, a digital double that digests everything he’s ever done, said, even farted, to eventually keep him “alive” forever.
Ask Bryan if he’ll die, he’ll simply respond: False
His philosophy?
Existence ≠ achievement.
Soon the mere fact of being here, digitally immortalised, will be the ultimate status symbol.
His critics arch their eyebrows at NDAs and lawsuits, like the one with ex‑fiancée Taryn Southern, and question whether Bryans manifesto is a cyber cult dressed up in supplements and insanity.
But Johnson isn’t shy. He’s franchising the brand “Don’t Die”, a bona fide digital religion built for an era where humans need to align with AI, or be left behind…
“Biohackers spend millions to reverse aging. Bryan Johnson spent billions to never die.”
#AI #ArtificialIntelligence #AIHealth #Biohacking #Longevity #AIImmortality #DontDie #TechReligion #FutureOfSelf 🧠
Key Takeaways
Biohacking on steroids: Sleep, diet, scans, supplements, and even son‑donated plasma (yep blood and bits) aren’t experiments; they’re daily rituals. And Bryan is embracing them with gusto.
Digital doubles as immortality: The ideal isn’t living forever biologically, it’s having your consciousness carried on by an AI clone of yourself—forever in the digital multiverse.
A new religion arises: “Don’t Die” isn’t just a slogan, it’s a global ideology that pitches a digital afterlife as the next human adventure.
Why It Matters 🌍
Right now, you probably think longevity equals eating kale, supplement IV drips and chilling with wellness apps. But Johnson thinks longevity is a total cultural reset.
He’s merging biology with digital eternity and probably doubling down on the fact you and I are mortal in a world where that might soon be optional.
Johnson is betting the social hierarchy of the future won’t be about money or Instagram followers, it’ll be about who can preserve existence. He’s making immortality the ultimate luxury, one that’s less about bragging rights and more about logistical reality in a post‑biological age.
If you think ethical debates around AI aren’t going to affect how you die, or don’t, you’re behind the curve already. Right now, you’re staring at the intersection of faith, tech and identity.
Johnson isn’t wrestling with how to add years to life; he’s asking: What will life be like when AI keeps you ticking? And that question is already unsettling the religions, politicians and philosophers of the world!
What’s Next? 🔮
First thing to do?
Get your sleep in order.
Johnson clocks eight hours 34 minutes nightly with superman‑level efficiency. Next, think: could you log every bit of yourself too? You don’t need his budget, because basic health tracking isn’t dumb.
Then, go deeper: ask how you’d feel if someone uploaded your brain into your iPhone. You’d still feel like you, your memories, sense of humour, but your body would be gone; to be replaced by a digital you.
Does that terrify you, or thrill you? That question cuts right to the soul of what “you” actually is.
Finally, remember that extremes spotlight trends. You don’t have to follow Johnson’s protocol, but you should ask honest questions like what does it mean to care about existence itself? To cherish memories over muscle mass?
And, bigger questions, like do you want your existence to stretch past your fleshes used-by-date, with or without you inside?

New AI Anti‑Ageing Breakthrough: Blessing or Ticket to Eternal Boredom?

“Live Forever? Your Brain Might Call It Quits First”
You’ve probably heard the latest buzz on the health-tech grapevine: science is making major headways into stopping the ageing process.
Nobel-laureate Venki Ramakrishnan’s new book, Why We Die, notes how lifespans range wildly in nature (mayflies live 24 hours, Galápagos tortoises 170 years and Greenland sharks 400+ years), yet there’s no law that mandates how long humans should live.
It’s all down to evolutionary trade-offs and wear-and-tear on cells, genes and molecules.
Researchers are experimenting with mTOR inhibitors like rapamycin, senolytics, telomere tweaks, epigenetic clocks, even young-blood proteins and seeing real wrinkle-busting, life-extending effects in animals.
But Ramakrishnan warns that ageing isn’t programmed out, but malleable. And the anti-ageing industry? A circus of hype masquerading as breakthroughs.
“Science can pause ageing; not so much death, more delayed despair. But would you want forever?”
#AI #AntiAgeing #HealthSpan #Longevity #Biohacking #EthicalScience #ForeverMaybe 🧠
Key Takeaways
Ageing isn’t inevitable: There's no genetic timer built in, biology lets it change.
We’re in “anti-ageing spring”: Animal research is stacking up, mice, worms, flies, even monkeys are living smarter, not just longer.
Hype vs reality: The wellness market is full of snake oil. Real promise, yes. Instant miracle, not likely.
Why It Matters 🌍
You might've thought ageing was as unchangeable as gravity. But now it’s looking more like an adjustable dial. Slowing it down could mean fewer years fighting chronic illness and more decades luxuriating in vitality.
Healthcare systems, retirement plans, even the way you structure your career will all need a revamp.
Instead of panicking about anti-ageing elites hoarding youth, you could find yourself riding the wave of another 30–40 years of decent health. ⚠️
But consider this, would you want to live forever if boredom, memory glitches or endless goodbyes haunted your future? David Kagan’s moral dilemma looms: eternal you might end up utterly unlike now-you.o
Or youthful YOU might be bored out of their brains!
What’s Next? 🔮
Start by focusing on health span, not lifespan.
Here's how:
Habit audit – Balanced diet, sleep, weight-resistance and aerobics remain your simplest, cheapest anti-ageing allies.
Stay sceptical – Avoid fads marketed in droplet vials. If it’s working, it’ll show up in peer‑review and clinical trials.
Track your age – Epigenetic clocks (like the Harvard work on methylation markers) can gauge if your body is younger than you are.
Explore “light” interventions – Senolytics and mTOR inhibitors are still experimental, but engaging with well-run trials (like the Dog Ageing Project) keeps you in good company.
Mind the big picture – Imagine decades more life. How will your finances, relationships or passions hold up? Start mapping your future now.

Wellness: AI for Good Summit devises AI roadmap for the planet
Global heavyweights WHO, ITU, WIPO and 40+ UN agencies, recently devised a technical roadmap at the AI for Good Summit (8–11 July, Geneva) carefully mapping out AI’s role in global health care.
From surgical robots and AI-powered GP’s to tech produced herbal supplements and pharmaceuticals, they tried to balance hype with caution around data rights and global culture.
Wellness: Is AI health-tech modern-day snake oil?
Guardian’s Edna Bonhomme warns of “AI‑turbocharged medical charlatans.” A US health report allegedly used ChatGPT, citing studies that don’t exist; proof that AI can hallucinate confidently in the wrong hands.
She argues governance is our best vaccine against the onslaught of digital quackery. It also might be a case of trash and idiocy in, garbage and gobbledygook out.
Productivity: Australia calls for AI productivity regulation, not panic
The AFR argues that the world as well as Australia needs to shape AI for productivity instead of always fearing the risk. Smart policy = enabling innovation while managing the inevitable disruption.
Productivity: Here’s the German playbook on worker wellbeing
New CEPR research suggests Germany’s early AI adoption offers lessons: continuous retraining + robust labour practices = less stress, not more. They suggest harnessing AI to up skill your way to zen-like productivity instead of waiting for AI to streamline you.
Self Growth: Students are getting very wary of AI bots
A Conversation report has found that more and more uni students are feeling anxious, confused and distrusting of AI in classrooms and group work.
The consensus is that tech like AI needs both empathy and transparency when used in an educational setting.
Self Growth: Don’t worry AI can’t do asanas - Yoga’s still got soul
Although AI can research the merits and principles of spirituality better than any human on earth, it still can’t recreate the deep calm of muscle, breath and presence. It might track poses, but it won't feel your om. 😌

Wellness: Immortality: Upgrade or Existential Crisis? 🧬💀
What it’s about: You’re not just aging, you’re part of a species-wide midlife crisis with tech billionaires swapping Teslas for telomeres. In this brilliant, weirdly poetic debate, biohacker Dave Asprey and philosopher Steven Cave spar over the human obsession with living forever.
From soul narratives to server-based AI consciousness uploads, they unpack the ancient hunger to dodge death. You won’t just learn about anti-wrinkle serums and cryo-chambers, you’ll find out about ego, meaning, boredom and what the hell you’d do with an extra 150 years.
Would immortality bring you joy... or just a longer stretch of mediocre living?
You might outlive your mortgage, but can you outwit your own psychological stagnation?
⚙️ AI Edge: Not Skynet, this one’s internal. The debate dives deep into the illusion that mind-uploading equals “you,” and whether AI-simulated afterlives are just expensive Black Mirror reruns.
🧬 Best For: Death-phobes, transhumanist optimists, stoics in denial and anyone who’s ever journaled about their legacy while drinking a turmeric latte.
"Living longer doesn’t fix meaninglessness, it just makes you schedule it across more decades."

Self Growth: How to Build a Digital Twin That Outlives You…
What if you could coach your great-grandkids... after you die? Well this AI hack does just that and effectively helps you live forever (sort of).

A man wandering a multicoloured digital universe
“How to Use AI to Become Immortal; or at Least Let Your Voice Live Forever”
Hey time-traveller,
Ever felt like you’ve got hard-won wisdom but no one to pass it on to? Like your insights are buried in forgotten tweets, scraps of paper and half-finished journals?
But what if your future great-great-grandchild wants to know how you dealt with heartbreak, made career choices, or brewed the perfect cup of mushroom coffee.
Well, thanks to AI, you can teach them, in your own voice, values and vocabulary.
Welcome to the art of Digital Immortality.
What If You Could Be a Mentor... Post-Mortem?
Now we’re not talking about creating a creepy hologram of yourself or uploading your soul into the cloud.
We’re talking about encoding the best parts of your mind; your stories, beliefs, quirks and wisdom into a personal AI built on your personality that can coach, guide and teach your offspring.
Like building a tailored chatbot that sounds exactly like you; quirks and all.
But possibly way cooler and less prone to forget birthdays.
Here's the science bit:
You already have a data footprint: emails, voice notes, text messages, essays, social media posts, ChatGPT convos.
AI tools like GPT-4o, Replika, and HeyPi can be trained on your unique tone, values and context.
With structured journaling, prompts and voice cloning (ethically, please), you can create a digital twin that holds space for your future generations.
Is it narcissism?
Perhaps.
But it could also be an act of service.
Because when you consciously design your voice for the future, you're turning mortality into mentorship.
What Are The Benefits? 🏰
✅ Wisdom That Outlives You: Share your stories and lessons long after you've left the chat.
✅ Emotional Heirlooms: Gift your voice, your laughter, your perspective; not just old grainy photos.
✅ Generational Mentorship: Be the ancestor who coaches courage and calm, not just sends Christmas cards.
You're not just journaling ideas your kids might read one day.
You're encoding memory, meaning and presence into an interactive version of you who can answer questions and provide guidance.
With AI, your legacy becomes a living transmission; not a tombstone.
