Bryan Johnson, a U.S.-based tech entrepreneur and age-reversal enthusiast, has made headlines during his visit to India by sharing his unique discoveries. Johnson, known for his anti-aging platform Blueprint and radical experiments, including blood transfusions from his teenage son, is currently in the country promoting his book, Don’t Die.
During his travels, Johnson posted a picture on X (formerly Twitter) of a plaque at a Bengaluru hotel advertising “clean air as a service.” The hotel claimed its guest rooms had an air quality index (AQI) of 2.4, outperforming major cities like New York (8.7), London (5.0), Tokyo (6.0), and Sydney (3.2). Captioning the photo, Johnson wrote, “Hotel selling clean air as a service.”
Social Media Buzz
Johnson’s post quickly sparked discussions online. Alex Tabarrok, an economics professor at George Mason University, remarked, “In most of the world, you go outside for fresh air, in India, you go inside.” Others drew parallels with ventures like a Canadian startup that once sold bottled fresh air to China for $20.
A commenter from Delhi added, “Shopping malls in Delhi are flexing as well,” while another quipped, “Selling air is the ultimate protection racket. What’s next, charging for sunlight?”
Concern Over Air Pollution
Johnson also expressed his concerns about India’s air pollution in a separate post featuring a picture of India Gate in Delhi. He wrote, “Breathing the air is like smoking multiple cigarettes a day. Yet no one wears a mask or has air filters in their indoor environments,” underscoring the normalization of hazardous air quality in the region.
