Bryan Johnson trolled as he proposes 'don't die' nation where pizza, donuts and alcohol will be illegal
WEST PALM BEACH, FLORIDA: Bryan Johnson's daring proposal to establish a nation-state dedicated to radical life extension, known as the "don't die" nation, has sparked considerable controversy on the internet, generating widespread skepticism and mockery.
The 46-year-old biohacker, known for his unconventional anti-aging practices like blood swapping with his teenage son, unveiled his audacious vision at the Livelong Summit in West Palm Beach, Florida, as per Daily Mail.
Johnson's vision of crafting a sovereign utopia devoid of junk food and alcohol, while granting citizens access to advanced longevity treatments, has faced harsh backlash from online commentators.
Many have expressed doubts regarding the feasibility and eccentricity of such an ambitious endeavor.
Bryan Johnson's vision is to create a nation-state dedicated to prolonging life and combating aging
Johnson's vision is to create a nation-state dedicated to prolonging life and combating aging. This utopian society would welcome citizens from around the world who share a common goal of living longer, healthier lives.
According to Johnson, the nation-state would "pool" its citizens' resources to provide access to cutting-edge tests, therapies, and supplements aimed at de-aging the human body.
Johnson declared, "Not a single government in the world is currently focused on preventing its citizens from dying. Therefore, I aim to construct real-life infrastructure to enable a government to actively support its citizens in avoiding death."
However, the visionary's plans come with stringent rules. In this society, indulgences such as donuts, pizza, and alcohol would be strictly prohibited, as Johnson considers consuming junk food an "act of violence" against one's health.
Johnson's vision for diplomatic engagement and access to anti-aging treatments
"If you want to be healthy IRL [In real life], you need infrastructure to do that, you need testing and therapies and nutrition and devices and all sorts of things," Johnson further explained in his speech.
The plan is still in its early stages, with the initial phase involving the recruitment of citizens committed to de-aging and the establishment of a global online network.
Johnson suggested that potential citizens might undergo a vetting process to ensure their dedication to the cause.
The nation, as outlined by Johnson, would not only serve as a sanctuary for health-conscious individuals but also engage in diplomatic negotiations with other countries to secure special access to advanced anti-aging treatments.
Internet erupts with ridicule aimed at Bryan Johnson's ambitious proposal
Johnson's ambitious proposal was met with a wave of online ridicule and skepticism.
One X user succinctly dismissed the idea with a simple "No thanks," while another cynically remarked, "Yeah, and it won't work."
A user couldn't help but laugh, writing, "lol what a buncha dorks," while another expressed a preference for mortality, stating, "On balance, I’d rather die."
The humorous tone continued with a user's quip, "Welcome to Dorkistan," and another user's dry observation, "The quest to live as long as possible without ever actually living."
