The Men Trying to Live Forever
Briefly

Peter Diamandis, a leader in the biohacking movement, seeks extreme longevity through rigorous health practices, including a high protein diet, extensive supplementation, and innovative therapies like plasma exchange. He has created a community called the Peterverse, populated by affluent men committed to longevity. These biohackers often utilize various tracking technologies and health optimization methods, sometimes engaging in competitive practices such as a rejuvenation leaderboard. The prospect of using artificial intelligence to enhance life spans raises questions about the future of human existence and the definitions of living.
Peter Diamandis consumes a hundred and fifty grams of protein, five packs of pills daily, and utilizes multiple red-light therapy devices, spending over a hundred thousand dollars annually on longevity efforts.
Many biohackers are deeply committed to living longer lives, taking upward of fifty supplements daily and measuring every conceivable bodily metric to optimize their health.
There exists a rejuvenation-olympics leaderboard online, reflecting the competitive nature among biohackers leading the 'Don't Die' movement, driven by the desire to outdo one another.
Diamandis believes artificial intelligence could help men aiming for longevity maximize their life span, promoting rigorous tracking of health metrics and even ambitious methods like brain uploading.
