American billionaire and biohacker Brian Johnson, famous for his extreme anti-aging methods, announced the possible sale of his business and presented his own religion called "Don't Die".
The religious movement already has its own symbols, rituals and special mantras. Adherents practice special meditations to prolong life and wear amulets with the emblem of the teaching.
The 47-year-old entrepreneur has been conducting biomedical experiments on himself for several years as part of the Blueprint project, the goal of which is to preserve youth and health. Now Brian Johnson has gone even further. He officially announced the creation of a religious movement based on the desire for physical immortality, symbiosis with artificial intelligence and a scientific approach to life.
"Honestly, I'm close to either closing my company or selling it. People see business and lose trust," the billionaire admitted in an interview.
According to him, the idea of commerce interferes with the perception of his philosophy, and he wants to focus on developing a new worldview.
The religion created by Johnson has already acquired symbols, rituals and even mantras. Followers practice "longevity meditations", wear amulets with the movement's logo and await the release of sacred texts. In the near future, the billionaire plans to open the first "Don't Die" temple in Los Angeles and launch a mobile app with daily "immortality practices."
