Bryan Johnson, a 48-year-old longevity guru and tech entrepreneur who sold Braintree for $800 million, got his grand eureka moment by smoking 5-MeO-DMT from Sonoran toad venom. Saying he found the 'most expansive map' of human consciousness, he tattooed the molecule on himself, proving once again that if you want to marry tech and soul, you might just need a toad. Johnson skeptically wonders why humans obsess over AI and Mars, when 'What else do we have except for our consciousness?' He’s in hot pursuit of immortality, shelling out $2 million a year to look like a 28-year-old while questioning everything.
