Episode notes

When we speak about humans and AI coming together to solve problems they're the narrative. The focus for Hollywood and mainstream culture is that is a doomsday scenario. My question to you is like why do you think that is the case? Why do we think the worst about technology and why has that been programmed into us when it also could be the complete opposite, he says.

Bryan Johnson is the world's most measured human. Johnson sold his company, Braintree Venmo, to PayPal for $800m in 2013. Since then, he's been investing millions to reduce aging. In 2021, he reduced his epigenetic age by 5.1 years in 7 months (World Record). His open-sourced protocol, Project Blueprint, is an endeavor to achieve humanity and earth-scale cooperation starting within Self. In this conversation, we spoke about artificial intelligence, parenting, zero-principle thinking, the big change in Bryan's life, and why Bryan is kind to his detractors.
