Summary

In his quest to live forever, multimillionaire tech entrepreneur Bryan Johnson has spent more than $4 million developing a life-extension system he calls Blueprint. But one expert said, “If you want immortality, you should go to a church.” Johnson is passionately pursuing an idea at the cost of other priorities and values. As Christians, are we doing the same in passionately pursuing the kind of life and influence embodied by Jesus Christ?

Brian Johnson swallows 111 pills a day, wears a baseball cap that shoots red light into his scalp,

and sleeps in a laser face shield for collagen growth and wrinkle reduction.

1:13.1
