Anti-Aging entrepreneur Bryan Johnson had announced earlier in July that he and his team will investigate the “biological effects” of “eating ass”.
Now, only a few days later, a newly published interview quoted him saying that he is very close to walking away from ‘Project Blueprint’, a startup he founded to develop a scientific method to reverse the process of ageing.

Bryan Johnson told Wired in the interview, “Honestly, I am so close to either shutting it down or selling it… I don’t need the money, and it’s a pain-in-the-ass company.” He also said in the interview that he has been talking to people about it. However, in a post on X on Wednesday, he said that the interview was conducted three months ago and circumstances have changed since then.
Bryan Johnson and his quest to defeat death
The entrepreneur is renowned for his obsession with defeating death by reversing the ageing process. Over time, he has gained quite a lot of notoriety for some bizarre tactics employed in his quest for immortality.
He had once infused himself with his son’s blood to slow down the process of ageing. He stopped taking his son’s blood six month’s later after detecting no benefits.
Johnson also consumes at least 100 pills daily to reverse the process of ageing. In addition to that, he had also revealed earlier that he applies electric shocks on his genitals to reverse the process of ageing in his penis.
What Johnson said in his X post
Johnson said on X that the Wired interview was conducted 3 months ago and since then, he had explored several options. After considering the options, he said he had decided to go “all in”.
He stated, “We’re going all in. We’re making Blueprint accessible and impactful for everyone. To replicate everything in my protocol – all the measurements, protocols, therapies – and make it easy and accessible for others to do in community. For your family and friends to do this too.”
He added, “I’m hiring a CEO and CTO who can lead the business day to day while I focus on Don’t Die.” “Don’t Die” is the name of the so-called religion he has founded.
Bryan Johnson went on to declare in the manner of prophets, “Red Bull made adventure a universe. Duolingo made language-learning fun. Blueprint will make longevity a game. A new era is here. Death is our only foe. We are the first generation who won’t die.”
When Bryan Johnson walked off a podcast in India due to air pollution
Earlier this year, Johnson had walked away from a podcast with Nikhil Kamath midway citing the level of air pollution in India.
He had explained himself saying, “When in India, I did end this podcast early due to the bad air quality. Nikhil Kamath was a gracious host and we were having a great time. The problem was that the room we were in circulated outside air which made the air purifier I’d brought with me ineffective.”
While it is certain that air pollution in India is a serious concerns, it is unclear how cleaner ‘eating ass’ is compared to the air quality in India.
