Bryan Johnson is going to be attending the Founders Longevity Forum in London.
Bryan is always emphasizing that we’re on the cusp of major breakthroughs in AI and longevity that could radically extend human lifespan. That’s why I find it a bit strange that his public messaging hasn’t pushed harder in that direction. Why linger on the cusp?
He clearly understands the urgency and potential of what’s coming, so I can’t help but wonder why more of his energy isn’t going into directly funding or advocating for next-gen longevity interventions.
Maybe he’s laying groundwork behind the scenes? We know he’s speaking with a lot of powerful and influential people. If that’s the case, I hope it translates into serious financial backing for research, not just personal optimization or consumer-facing products.
To be clear, I don’t think Bryan is naive. I think he gets it. I also think he is capitalizing on the rising public interest in healthspan and longevity.
I really hope Bryan uses his influence to steer both the conversation and financial support toward meaningful breakthroughs—rather than just what’s commercially available today—and that he comes away from this event newly inspired to champion the kind of research that can truly move the needle on aging, because we urgently need more high-profile figures pushing for serious funding in this space.
Bryan already planning this with a proposed “Don’t Die Manage Fund”?
I came across this video of his where he outlines some vague plan on people putting their savings together into a “Don’t Die manage fund” to “move money in markets to move towards things that push Don’t Die”
