Visionary Minds

In this solo episode of Visionary Minds, I share a personal reflection inspired by two powerful signals of our time: Dubai, whose image as a haven for global wealth is being challenged, and Bryan Johnson’s $1M-a-year “Immortals” longevity program.Two very different stories, yet they may reveal the same shift: contemporary privilege no longer seeks only distinction — it seeks subtraction.Subtraction from risk. From time. From wear and ageing. From the limits of the human condition.An episode about the evolution of luxury, aesthetics, skincare, longevity… and what our era increasingly hopes to erase.

Le nouveau luxe veut-il nous rendre immortels ?Dans cet épisode un peu particulier de Visionary Minds, je ne donne pas la parole à un invité. Je prends le temps de livrer une vision.À partir de deux actualités en apparence sans lien. Dubaï, dont l’image de refuge pour les grandes fortunes se fissure, et le programme “Immortals” de Bryan Johnson à 1 million de dollars par an. J’explore une intuition : et si le nouveau luxe ne cherchait plus seulement à séduire ou à distinguer, mais à soustraire ?Se soustraire au risque. Au temps. À l’usure. À la limite.Un épisode sur les mutations du luxe, de l’esthétique, de la skincare et de notre rapport contemporain au corps.
