Some of the nation’s biggest influencers met for a “Don’t Die Dinner” hosted by longevity investor Brian Johnson—an evening of deep conversation about their well-being and specific health philosophies.
Revelers dined on natural offerings such as broccoli, cauliflower, black lentils, and nutty pudding.
Johnson, an ultra-successful venture capitalist and entrepreneur who invests heavily in science and technology designed to increase longevity, claims that he ages at a rate of .64 years for every actual 365-day period and celebrates his birthday only every 19 months.
The Dinner
Joining Johnson at this gathering were the popular television and social media personalities the Kardashians, led by Kim, podcaster extraordinaire Andrew Huberman, and Dr. Jason Diamond.
Still, some people doubted the validity of this event, suggesting it may even have been AI-generated content.
The event was real. However, the question on the mind of many observers is how Johnson managed to assemble such a famous yet eclectic group of people.
“They organically form among friends of friends,” Johnson replied.
Additionally, others wondered what the revelers discussed specifically during their special meal. Johnson stayed mum on this topic choosing to respect the privacy of his friends and guests.
The Concept
‘Don’t Die Dinners’ have been part of Johnson’s repertoire for some time. He has hosted the events on a bi-weekly basis for the last several years attracting a wide array of diners. Guests have included politicians, scientists, and artists.
The purpose of these social meals is to precipitate discussions regarding what it means to be human.
“Don’t die is the punchline of the dinner,” Johnson said.
The expression has morphed into Johnson’s tagline inspiring him to identify any possible health improvement method and adhering to such practice.
“For me to even begin to imagine that I’d get to predict my life expectancy would be insane,” Johnson said. “We can’t see past a year, two, or three. The only thing I do know is we need to build systems that don’t die as a society.”
The items featured on the menu of the much talked about gathering highlight what Johnson regularly consumes and is designed by a specialized team of physicians. His nutritional outline comprises part of his Blueprint, which is a plan detailing his exercise schedule, nutritional supplementation dosages, and all other important health-maintenance techniques.
Every “Don’t Die” event begins with guests being asked two probing questions:
If you had access to an algorithm designed to optimize your physical, mental, and spiritual health, would you utilize it even if it meant adhering to its strict instructions?
The second question is: do you think today’s morals, ethics, and norms will apply in the 25th century?
Guests like the Kardashians have been proponents of using new technology to maintain internal and external bodily health. Kim has been among the initial supporters of Prenuvo’s full-body MRI scan believed to be capable of detecting potentially serious illnesses in their earliest possible stages.
Not everyone shares Johnson’s viewpoints or methods, arguing the field of longevity science is more of a fad than true scholarship.
However, Johnson stands firm in his thought process.
“Don’t Die is the most commonly played game by every human on the planet,” he said. “As a species, we love games. I think Don’t Die could basically be the next game we play.”
