布萊恩約翰遜的藍圖：一部關於這位科技大亨對生物優化的痴迷追求的 Netflix 紀錄片

據報道，Netflix憑藉其無限的演算法智慧，將這部紀錄片設計為既深入探討科技生物工業綜合體，又描繪人物

Bryan Johnson is a man on a mission. The founder of Kernel and Braintree, he’s better known as the poster child for what happens when a tech mogul decides that conquering death is the next logical step after payment processing. His relentless quest to dial back his biological age has birthed a regimen that’s part Black Mirror, part Goop on steroids, and 100% fascinating.

布萊恩·約翰遜是一個肩負使命的人。作為 Kernel 和 Braintree 的創始人，他更為人所知的是，當一位科技大亨決定戰勝死亡是支付處理後的下一個合乎邏輯的步驟時，他會發生什麼。他不懈地追求降低自己的生理年齡，催生了一種半是《黑鏡》、半是類固醇黏液的養生法，而且百分之百令人著迷。

Now, Netflix is getting in on the action with a documentary that follows Johnson's obsessive pursuit of biological optimization. It's a deep dive into the tech-bio-industrial complex and a character study of Johnson himself. The audience gets to witness a man micromanage his mitochondria and hack his way to what he calls “Blueprint.” That’s his personal anti-aging protocol, which involves monitoring over 70 biomarkers and maintaining a daily schedule that would make a Buddhist monk blush.

現在，Netflix 也推出了一部紀錄片，講述約翰遜對生物優化的痴迷追求。這是對科技生物工業複合體的深入研究，也是對約翰遜本人的性格研究。觀眾將目睹一名男子對粒線體進行微觀管理，並開闢出他所謂的「藍圖」。這是他個人的抗衰老方案，其中包括監測 70 多種生物標記物，並保持每天的作息時間，這會讓佛教僧侶臉紅。

But let’s not pretend this documentary is just about science. It’s Bryan Johnson, folks. There will be drama, existential questions, and at least a few moments where you wonder if he’s an earnest visionary or just another tech bro with too much money and not enough hobbies.

但我們不要假裝這部紀錄片只是關於科學的。夥計們，我是布萊恩·約翰遜。會有戲劇性的、存在主義的問題，至少有一些時刻你會懷疑他是一個真誠的夢想家，還是只是另一個有太多錢但沒有足夠愛好的技術兄弟。

Expect Netflix to lean into the spectacle. This isn’t a Ken Burns’ slow pan of historical documents; it’s a glossy, fast-paced look at how billionaires are trying to buy their way out of aging while the rest of us decide between oat milk or almond milk for breakfast. And let’s be real: no one’s tuning in just for the scientific breakdowns of protein folding or gut microbiomes. The appeal here is Johnson himself—his quirks, his routines, and his willingness to turn his life into a sci-fi experiment for the masses.

預計 Netflix 會投入這一奇觀。這不是肯‧伯恩斯（Ken Burns）慢吞吞的歷史文獻；這是一部歷史文獻。這是一部光鮮亮麗、快節奏的影片，講述了億萬富翁們如何透過花錢來延緩衰老，而我們其他人則在早餐時選擇燕麥奶還是杏仁奶。說實話：沒有人只是為了蛋白質折疊或腸道微生物組的科學分解而收聽。這裡的吸引力在於約翰遜本人——他的怪癖、他的日常生活，以及他願意將自己的生活變成大眾的科幻實驗的意願。

Here’s the thing, though: love him or hate him, Johnson’s obsessive pursuit of biological optimization is a mirror for society’s own fears and ambitions. We’re living in an age where people’d rather scroll through Instagram filters than confront the reality of wrinkles and mortality. Johnson's entire lifestyle is essentially an Instagram filter made flesh—a curated, quantified life in pursuit of perfection. It’s equal parts inspiring and unsettling.

但事情是這樣的：無論愛他還是恨他，約翰遜對生物優化的痴迷追求是社會自身恐懼和野心的一面鏡子。我們生活在一個人們寧願瀏覽 Instagram 濾鏡也不願面對皺紋和死亡的現實的時代。約翰遜的整個生活方式本質上就是 Instagram 濾鏡打造的肉體——一種追求完美的精心策劃、量化的生活。它既鼓舞人心又令人不安。

The question Netflix needs to answer, though, is whether this documentary will merely be voyeuristic or if it’ll actually probe deeper. Does Johnson’s journey tell us something profound about humanity, or is it just a billionaire’s midlife crisis with an FDA-approved sheen? Knowing Netflix, it’ll probably aim for both, with some beautifully lit shots of Bryan meditating at sunrise to keep us hooked.

不過，Netflix 需要回答的問題是，這部紀錄片是否只是為了偷窺，還是實際上會進行更深入的探索。約翰遜的旅程是否告訴我們一些關於人性的深刻的事情，或者這只是一個億萬富翁的中年危機，擁有 FDA 批准的光彩？據了解 Netflix，它可能會同時瞄準兩者，其中一些布萊恩在日出時冥想的精美鏡頭讓我們著迷。

In the end, this documentary is as much about us as it is about Bryan Johnson. Because for all his biohacking bravado, Johnson is grappling with the same question we all face: what does it mean to live a good life? And maybe, just maybe, we’ll learn that the answers aren’t buried in biomarkers, but in how we spend our fleeting time—preferably not micromanaging our caloric intake or scheduling laser facials.

最後，這部紀錄片既是關於我們的，也是關於布萊恩約翰遜的。因為儘管約翰遜在生物駭客方面虛張聲勢，但他正在努力解決我們都面臨的同一個問題：美好生活意味著什麼？也許，只是也許，我們會發現答案並不隱藏在生物標記中，而是隱藏在我們如何度過轉瞬即逝的時間中——最好不是微觀管理我們的熱量攝入或安排激光面部護理。

As an aside there’s now an active betting market on Polymarket for Bryan's nighttime erections.

順便說一句，Polymarket 上現在有一個活躍的布萊恩夜間勃起投注市場。

Bryan said there a few things to consider when making your wager:

布萊恩說，下注時需要考慮以下幾點：

+ I return from China on the 16th of Dec and measurement will take place during the final week of the month. I’ve not previously measured how much international travel affects NTE however I know from casual observation that it significantly decreases them. The body get’s pretty messed up with such a large time zone change. It’s TBD how long it takes my body to adjust normal NTE.

+ 我於 12 月 16 日從中國返回，測量將在該月的最後一周進行。我之前沒有測量過國際旅行對 NTE 的影響有多大，但我從偶然的觀察中知道，國際旅行會顯著降低 NTE。這麼大的時區變化，身體會變得非常混亂。我的身體需要多長時間才能調整正常的 NTE，目前還不清楚。

+ My baseline NTE measurement was two hours and 12 minutes (~ave for a 47 yr old). My best NTE was 2 hours and 59 minutes (ave 18 yr old), which was post two therapies: 1) focused shockwave therapy and 2) botox. The positive effects of those therapies lessen over time.

+ 我的基線 NTE 測量值為 2 小時 12 分鐘（約 47 歲的平均值）。我最好的 NTE 是 2 小時 59 分鐘（平均年齡 18 歲），這是在兩種療法之後：1）聚焦衝擊波療法和 2）肉毒桿菌。這些療法的正面作用隨著時間的推移而減弱。

+ In mid November, I started a second round of shockwave therapy on the penis, completing three sessions however improvements can take up to 12 weeks after the therapy.

+ 11 月中旬，我開始對陰莖進行第二輪衝擊波療法，完成了三個療程，但治療後可能需要長達 12 週的時間才能改善。

+ NTE is something you can’t really “try your best at”. They just happen or they don’t. You go to sleep and the body does its thing.

+ NTE 是你無法真正「盡力而為」的事情。它們要么發生，要么不發生。你去睡覺，身體就會開始做它的事情。

+ NTE is a significant biological age marker representing sexual, cardiovascular, and psychological health.

+ NTE 是代表性、心血管和心理健康的重要生物年齡標誌。

+ Deficiencies in NTE correlates with an increased risk of premature death by 70%.

+ NTE 缺陷與過早死亡風險增加 70% 有關。
