Most people are missing this trend.
I am resurrecting immortality.
How?
For 12 yrs from 2010 to 2022, the search term "Bryan Johnson" was a flat line sitting near zero.
In that same window, the word "immortality" hovered at a steady, low hum of interest. A background curiosity humans have carried since the beginning of time.
Then, something happened, and my name became intertwined with immortality.
>> In the last 3 years, interest in my name went from 0 to a frequent search term.
>> In those same 3 years, interest in Immortality has more than doubled.
We began to move together: rising and falling at the same time.
In early 2025, my name spiked to 100, the ceiling of the scale. On a sixteen year chart that includes immortality, that ceiling belongs to my name, not to the word that has carried humanity's oldest aspiration.
For that moment, search interest in my name ran higher than search interest in the word immortality itself. One person, briefly, out-drew the word that names humanity's oldest aspiration.
What does this mean?
The search behavior of the entire planet is one of the few honest leading indicators we have, because it’s raw honest data.
The word "immortality" carries every connotation that invites an eye-roll: hubris, vanity, a man who thinks he can cheat death.
I understand the reflex.
What is actually underneath the trend line is unglamorous and concrete: measurable biology, rates of aging you can track, a body treated as an instrument that reports out.
With artificial intelligence emerging, people are starting to wonder what is possible.
The rising baseline of both “bryan johnson” and “immortality” persists because it is becoming measurable and legitimate.
People mistakenly believe immortality is a selfish act. It’s a noble mission that we need as a species. Immortality gives humanity hope. A goal to work towards, and a mission larger than self.
Overcoming death would be humanity’s greatest accomplishment.
