but that doesn’t mean they’re giving up on medicine.

Is Bryan Johnson’s Blueprint for a 150-Year Life Worth It?

video    Interesting Times with Ross Douthat    13 August 2026

For my final episode as host of “Interesting Times,”

I wanted a fitting finale

— a conversation that encapsulates the ambition of this show:

examining how seemingly radical ideas are steadily entering

the mainstream of American politics, technology and culture.

Few ideas are as radical as the hope of significant life extension

and the quest to live forever.

My guest today thinks he can outrun death.

After selling his tech company for hundreds of millions of dollars

and experiencing a profound religious crisis,

Bryan Johnson turned his own body into the ultimate science project,

centered on an explicit mission: Don’t die.

But why does Johnson want to live forever,

and what lessons can his algorithmically driven lifestyle

bring to the rest of us?

It’s been an honor hosting this podcast

nd navigating these strange waters with you.

“Interesting Times” will be back with new episodes and new hosts

in the fall.
