Johnson, 46, is a centimillionaire tech entrepreneur who has spent most of the last three years in pursuit of a singular goal: don’t die. During that time, he’s spent more than $4 million developing a life-extension system called Blueprint, in which he outsources every decision involving his body to a team of doctors, who use data to develop a strict health regimen to reduce what Johnson calls his “biological age.” That system includes downing 111 pills every day, wearing a baseball cap that shoots red light into his scalp, collecting his own stool samples, and sleeping with a tiny jet pack attached to his penis to monitor his nighttime erections. Johnson thinks of any act that accelerates aging—like eating a cookie, or getting less than eight hours of sleep—as an “act of violence.”
“sleeping with a tiny jet pack attached to his penis to monitor his nighttime erections.”
I mean, jet packs are cool but how does this work?
I would Google the answer, but I’m worried I’ll gain another fetish.
You’d think some sort of tilt sensor or something would do, maybe the jet pack activates throughout the night to simulate an erection for some reason.
It works because calling it a jet pack gets you to click the link and see crappy ads.

It’s not really a jet pack, but may sort of resemble one. The things are mostly used to determine the cause of erectile dysfunction (if quality erections happen at night, it’s probably a mental hang up, if they don’t, likely physiological)
