Bryan Johnson argues that treating death as inevitable makes people indifferent to life extension. He contrasts Jesus's bread and wine with his own vision of nutrients that sustain life, questioning why billions follow an afterlife narrative instead of a philosophy of staying alive now.

The biggest psychological barrier in our current culture, which is we perceive inevitable death is therefore anything that happens, like whatever, we don't care. And so we have to overcome. And this is why I've been playfully challenging the status and authority of Jesus Christ. I made a joke that Jesus fed wine and bread, accelerating aging and inebriating, and I will feed nutrients that will nourish and create life. Why is Jesus the continued representation of a philosophical group of a billion plus people? Why can't someone challenge us that as an authority and say, no, it's not the resurrection, it's not the afterlife, it's this life, it's don't die.
