Silicon Valley in Search of Eternity

“The arrow of time, perceived as irreversible for a very long time, is no longer so today. All models show that humans are programmed to live to 120 years or more,” Pierre-Marie Liedo, “research director at the CNRS and the Pasteur Institute” who believes that the aging process as we know it is far from irreversible, reported Le Figaro.

About ten years ago, the scientist and his team were among the first to focus their research on the effects of blood factors on aging, but due to lack of money, they were unable to complete their clinical trials. But across the Atlantic, ethical and legal safeguards are not as numerous as in France.

Thus, the start-up company Ambrosia Plasma recruited “volunteer patients over the age of 35” to be injected with blood plasma taken from young men or women. The experiment was recently stopped, “following a formal notice from the American health authorities,” specifies Le Figaro.

Other companies have followed suit, such as Altos Labs, which focuses its research on cellular longevity and whose shareholders include Jeff Bezos, the head of Amazon. Calico, which is financed by Alphabet, is a conglomerate of companies emanating from Google.

One notorious person obsessed obsessed with longevity is Bryan Johnson. After making his fortune in the online payment sector, this tech giant pays nearly two million euros a year to try to obtain eternal life here below, by entrusting his body to an anti-aging algorithm that prescribes him, among other things, about sixty pills just for breakfast, according to BFMTV.

This icon of transhumanism has even revealed that he recruited his own son, aged 17, as a Blood Boy. He regularly has blood plasma taken from his offspring injected into his body in the hope of indefinitely pushing back the boundaries of the afterlife, notes Le Figaro.

Like Bryan Johnson, Silicon Valley billionaires have constructed personal clinics in their homes in order to benefit from a whole range of tests and exercises carried out with cutting-edge equipment. For other wealthy Americans, “private longevity clinics,” which promise to slow down the aging of cells, have appeared everywhere.

But one thing remains certain: Providence, which governs the world, always has the last word, using secondary causes – illnesses, accidents, violence of nature or between men – to bring the human creature back to his mortal condition.

Thus, as SSPX Superior General Don Davide Pagliarani set forth in his Letter to Friends and Benefactors No. 90, February 2, 2021: “God makes the modern Prometheus, indoctrinated by transhumanism (the negation of  man’s limits), understand that the nature He created escapes the technique and control of the human sciences. This is an extremely necessary lesson, especially today.”

“We must treasure it and make it our own, all the more so, as modern man, blinded by his dream of absolute power, has made himself incapable of grasping it. And we must also find in it new incentives to worship the greatness of God and to live intimately dependent on Him.”
