布莱恩·约翰逊的蓝图：一部关于这位科技大亨对生物优化的痴迷追求的 Netflix 纪录片

据报道，Netflix凭借其无限的算法智慧，将这部纪录片设计为既深入探讨科技生物工业综合体，又描绘人物

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.

布莱恩·约翰逊是一个肩负使命的人。作为 Kernel 和 Braintree 的创始人，他更为人所知的是，当一位科技大亨决定战胜死亡是支付处理后的下一个合乎逻辑的步骤时，他会发生什么。他不懈地追求降低自己的生理年龄，催生了一种半是《黑镜》、半是类固醇粘液的养生法，而且百分百令人着迷。

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.

现在，Netflix 也加入了这一行动，推出了一部纪录片，讲述约翰逊对生物优化的痴迷追求。这是对科技生物工业综合体的深入研究，也是对约翰逊本人的性格研究。观众将目睹一名男子对线粒体进行微观管理，并开辟出他所谓的“蓝图”。这是他个人的抗衰老方案，其中包括监测 70 多种生物标记物，并保持每天的作息时间，这会让佛教僧侣脸红。

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.

但我们不要假装这部纪录片只是关于科学的。伙计们，我是布莱恩·约翰逊。会有戏剧性的、存在主义的问题，至少有一些时刻你会怀疑他是一个真诚的梦想家，还是只是另一个有太多钱但没有足够爱好的技术兄弟。

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 This isn’t a Ken Burns’ slow pan of historical documents; it’s a glossy, fast-paced look at how billionaires are trying to buy their way out of aging while the rest of us decide between oat milk or almond milk for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.

预计 Netflix 将投入这一奇观。这不是肯·伯恩斯（Ken Burns）慢吞吞的历史文献；这是一部历史文献。这是一部光鲜亮丽、快节奏的影片，讲述了亿万富翁们如何通过花钱来延缓衰老，而我们其他人则在早餐时选择燕麦奶还是杏仁奶。说实话：没有人只是为了蛋白质折叠或肠道微生物组的科学分解而收听。这里的吸引力在于约翰逊本人——他的怪癖、他的日常生活，以及他愿意将自己的生活变成大众的科幻实验的意愿。

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.

但事情是这样的：无论爱他还是恨他，约翰逊对生物优化的痴迷追求是社会自身恐惧和野心的一面镜子。我们生活在一个人们宁愿浏览 Instagram 滤镜也不愿面对皱纹和死亡的现实的时代。约翰逊的整个生活方式本质上就是 Instagram 滤镜打造的肉身——一种追求完美的精心策划、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.

不过，Netflix 需要回答的问题是，这部纪录片是否只是为了偷窥，还是实际上会进行更深入的探索。约翰逊的旅程是否告诉我们一些关于人性的深刻的事情，或者这只是一个亿万富翁的中年危机，拥有 FDA 批准的光彩？据了解 Netflix，它可能会同时瞄准两者，其中一些布莱恩在日出时冥想的精美镜头让我们着迷。

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.

最后，这部纪录片既是关于我们的，也是关于布莱恩·约翰逊的。因为尽管约翰逊在生物黑客方面虚张声势，但他正在努力解决我们都面临的同一个问题：美好生活意味着什么？也许，只是也许，我们会发现答案并不隐藏在生物标记中，而是隐藏在我们如何度过转瞬即逝的时间中——最好不是微观管理我们的热量摄入或安排激光面部护理。

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

顺便说一句，Polymarket 上现在有一个活跃的布莱恩夜间勃起投注市场。

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

布莱恩说，下注时需要考虑以下几点：

+ 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.

+ 我于 12 月 16 日从中国返回，测量将在该月的最后一周进行。我之前没有测量过国际旅行对 NTE 的影响有多大，但我从偶然的观察中知道，国际旅行会显着降低 NTE。这么大的时区变化，身体会变得非常混乱。我的身体需要多长时间才能调整正常的 NTE，目前还不清楚。

+ 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.

+ 我的基线 NTE 测量值为 2 小时 12 分钟（约 47 岁的平均水平）。我最好的 NTE 是 2 小时 59 分钟（平均年龄 18 岁），这是在两种疗法之后：1）聚焦冲击波疗法和 2）肉毒杆菌。这些疗法的积极作用随着时间的推移而减弱。

+ 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，我开始对阴茎进行第二轮冲击波疗法，完成了三个疗程，但治疗后可能需要长达 12 周的时间才能得到改善。

+ 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 是你无法真正“尽力而为”的事情。它们要么发生，要么不发生。你去睡觉，身体就会开始做它的事情。

+ 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龄标志。

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

+ NTE 缺陷与过早死亡风险增加 70% 相关。
