“There’s one group of people who are abhorrent of death … and there’s another group that are seeking a vibrant, long life for as long as they want,” Dave Asprey told The Post. “The energetics are very different.”

Asprey singled out Silicon Valley mogul Bryan Johnson — notorious for his extreme, costly anti-aging crusade — as a key figure in the “anti-death” club. And he warned that’s not the side you want to be on.

The “Bulletproof Coffee” founder’s regimen includes shelling out a staggering $3,000 a month on supplements, soaking in infrared light and spending hours in a hyperbaric oxygen chamber. He’s also experimented with some wild techniques, like injecting stem cells into his reproductive organs and zapping his penis for stronger erections.

In recent years, Johnson has emerged as one of the most prominent longevity fanatics, spending around $2 million annually in his relentless pursuit to reverse the aging process.

In a recent Netflix documentary, the 47-year-old tech tycoon-turned-longevity zealot said his rigorous regimen has him aging slower than the average person — he claims every year, he only gets eight months older.

Asprey began his biohacking journey more than two decades ago, igniting a movement of like-minded individuals equally obsessed with extending their lifespans.

 Instead, Asprey believes longevity seekers should focus on striving toward something, not just battling the Grim Reaper (or, in Johnson’s case, dancing shirtless with the hooded, scythe-wielding skeleton at his $349-a-ticket Don’t Die Summit).

“Working for the most conscious, vibrant life of service you can have — so that you can enjoy the age of youth and the wisdom of age — is the path to a more conscious, happier people and a greater society,” Asprey said.

As for the father of biohacking himself, Asprey said he’s “not interested in fighting death.”
