Today's episode promises to challenge your perceptions and elevate your understanding of what the future holds as we peer into the horizon of humanity's next great leap.
I’m joined by Bryan Johnson, the “most measured man in history” who lets AI make all of his health and wellness decisions for him - because the algorithm can do better than he can.
Bryan Johnson is an ultra successful entrepreneur who believes that, while we like to think Homo sapiens represent the pinnacle of intelligence on Earth, there is an urgent need for a new form of intelligence that transcends self-interest and tackles inherent flaws, like self-destructive behaviors and other destructive tendencies, like war and global warming.
Get ready to rethink traditional approaches to living as we dive deep into topics like:
- Why Ozempic is an algorithm
- Treatments for penis health
- “Don’t Die” philosophy a new religion?
- The impact of algorithms on our future
- AI alignment and extending life through cellular reprogramming
- Superintelligence, society, and ethics
- How AI can change our reality and perception
- The challenge of aligning human behavior with the greater good
- The catastrophic consequences of getting AI engineering wrong
- The role of religion and tradition in problem-solving versus practical actions
- Concerns about the loss of autonomy and authoritarianism due to AI
- The future possibilities with AI, consciousness, and technological integration
- Technology's influence on expanding conscious states
This is a pivotal moment in history that people will look back on in the year 2500 - the question is, will we fuck it up?
Chapter Markers:
[0:00] Let the algorithms control you
[30:25] Control over AI, climate, and disasters
[55:20] Unimaginable & unexpected solutions
[1:05:44] A revolution is coming
[1:24:21] Trade-offs of AI decision making
[1:45:30] First principles vs. zeroeth thinking
[2:11:19] Digital time perception and hacking to slow time
[2:40:24] Quantifying penis health
Powerful Quotes From Bryan Johnson:
"I would much rather have an algorithm take care of my health than wellness than I would myself."
"We don't understand that death can be conquered. It is a reasonable thing to say that's possible. And if you do that, then the idea of becoming some kind of expansive, omnipotent kind of intelligence, we don't know what the limitation is."
"Right now, it's about the future of the species and it's about this contemplation of we're probably NOT going to make it through this moment if we can't figure out how to not to annihilate ourselves."
"No one thought that in early New York, when horses were the primary mode of transport and manure was the biggest problem in New York, polluting the Hudson and making everyone sick, no one thought the model T would be the solution to horse manure. It just wasn't on people's minds."

What if this level of intensity of trying to solve for “don’t die” keeps us from solving for “let’s live”?

But it doesn't. The whole 'Let's live' mentality is something that depends on the personality of the person.

And soon with life extension, we'll have more of that life to enjoy.

[@dvdmon]

I'm a bit conflicted about this subject and on Johnson. As many (most?) people, I became terrified of death at an early age. My parents were agnostics so when I asked them what happens after you die at maybe 6 or so, they said that no one knows for sure and they went over the different options. The idea that there could be eternal oblivion even at that early age, was both scary and depressing and felt like I'd been handed the worst news of my life. I became a full on atheist when I was 14 as I was very science-oriented, and basically just avoided thinking about death by developing this coping mechanism of saying that I was either going to get cryogenically frozen and thawed when people figured out how to "cure" death, or I would make up this fantasy that in the far future, after humanity solves the question of death, and on top of that is able to figure out time travel, that they will essentially start going back in time and "grabbing" people who were about to die, replacing them with a physical copy (so that the people examining them post mortem wouldn't know the difference), but taking the live "real" version and "freezing" it, bringing it back to the future, and then fixing all it's physical issues and making it (you) immortal. I'm now 55 and have had some health issues (heart disease) that make it less likely I'm going to live to a ripe old age of 100, so I'm much more aware of the technology and hope that AI will speed things up to a point where I might just be able to live a much longer life than I would without it. But facing your mortality in a real way can also make you fatalistic. When you are young, it is so far away that it is just this theoretical black cloud on the horizon. When you are older it's a constant possibility, maybe not today, but you just never know given the unpredictability of health when you have a chronic disease. I still do everything I can to improve my chances. I have a very strict diet, I try to stay active and exercise as best I can, I try to keep stress to a minimum by meditating and avoiding stressful situations and relationships, and I make getting 8 hours of good sleep a big priority. But I also realize I don't have ultimate control over when I die, and I'm not going to prevent it by simply measuring my bloodwork every week or many of the other things that Johnson does (even if that were financially and logistically possible for me). The other thing I would say is that as I've gotten more into meditation and ideas via Buddhism and Hinduism (as well as secular schools) around non-duality, I have become more "friendly" to the idea that death is not necessarily complete oblivion. I'm agnostic though, so I can't say it is or isn't, but I do think that it's anyone's guess. This is all to say that I will keep doing what I can that is manageable and sustainable for me. Johnson obviously has a much higher tolerance (and a much larger bank account) with which to experiment on himself, and I'm glad that people like him are around pushing the envelope. But I don't think I'm going to be joining his "religion" quite yet. Maybe in the next 5 or 10 years if I make it that long (I'm probably being overly dramatic here, lol, I'm pretty healthy, and haven't had any real issues or 5 years), but for now he is an interesting person to follow to see how he can push certain aspects of aging in a noticeable direction, and hopefully AI will make things even more noticeable soon, but also accessible to those of us who are not millionaires!

[@jeromehaymaker5071]

All Christians believe in eternal life. A few never died but were taken by God while alive. It's written in the Bible. Most just die till the judgment. Maybe the aliens have something to do with it. I haven't seen any of them. I'm just guessing.

[@missshroom5512]

You can still get in an accident no matter what comes along. If they do come up with something in your lifetime at 55 it will still only be for the rich or chosen ones for along time if not forever. It will be a weird way of getting rid of certain types. Whoever they decide. Age gracefully…get outside and enjoy your life. Today.🌎☀️💙

[@dvdmon]

@@missshroom5512 yeah, that's another hurdle - who will get these life extension. It might only be for the elite millionaires and whomever the befriend for quite a while. I do enjoy my life but I think there's a happy medium between doing all the stuff that Brian Johnson does, and throwing caution to the wind and not paying much of any attention to health. Of course the older you are the fewer potential years you have, and so the less sense it makes to be strict about things, unless you truly believe some utopian solution is just around the corner. But that is pretty wishful thinking!

[@M.D.M.X]

When it comes to the "Eternal Oblivion" or "Endless Darkness/Nothingness" variety of possible scenarios, to me that implies some form of conscious awareness that needs to remain after we pass to recognize said surrounding, time continuation and acknowledgement of any affect it may bring. Which to me makes that a very unlikely possibility. I believe it (your complete consciousness) just simply stops, like cutting of electricity to a device by pulling the plug. Exactly like when you pass out for whatever reason or 'go under' completely during a particular surgery. Though in these cases the conscious-plug gets plugged back in so to speak, but the result remains to same, you're turned off, void of activity, you don't/won't know how long or even that there was 'nothing' during that time you were out. Unlike when your final time comes though, it just won't be plugged back in. With that in mind. - Nobody will ever know that they've died, nor experience what it's like to be actually dead. Even if there was any sensation of 'dying' prior. So rest assured in some way, if this makes sense to you. Because again, it's impossible for you to realize you're actually gone. Like if a camera operates solely by having its power cord plugged in, it will therefor never be able to film it's own unplugging.

[@SplatterPatternExpert]

As much as I admire this guy and Ray Kurzweil, who has a similar approach, my attitude is that being dead will not bother me any more than it bothered me to not exist prior to my conception. If there is no “me” that survives the body’s death, then there is nothing to fear. If there is something after death, then that is the icing on the cake, a bonus I was not expecting.

[@maxphilly]

@@annunakian8054 If it's not possible for anyone to be that tall those jobs are off the table for the ordinary person you mean? Because even if it was possible being that tall or even in shape for anyone it doesn't grant someone those jobs. It's also the expertise that comes with it. Like for example I watch a lot of soccer and in that fine sport being tall strong and fast are very good for a player however they are irrelevant unless the player posses a certain level of expertise and skill. Which is obviously more relevant to the sport otherwise the big teams would just sign big tall fast humans.

[@annunakian8054]

@maxphilly I watch soccer too but u obviously don't know much about basketball or football. There's a point where ur too tall for soccer since ur better off being low to the ground in soccer. Obviously the majority of the game is played with the ball on the ground & it's easier to control the ball with shorter strides. 2 of the best NBA players rn Luka Doncic & Giannis Antetokounmpo used to play soccer but they said they just grew too tall. As for basketball there's never been a great player under 6 ft & there's only one decent one playing rn at 5'11". In football u simply can't play tight end if ur not tall & the linemen are also big & tall. But for running backs it's similar to soccer where it's generally better to be short. So yeah for certain ppl certain jobs are off the table.

[@alexrichards24]

Thank you Tom for interviewing Bryan Johnson. Bryan is talking about a truly mind blowing topic. If we can live long enough to the point where machines enable us to conquer death, then we will live forever. Therefore, the best thing we can do as individuals is to live a life that enable us to live sufficiently long enough and to assist others do the same. I believe machines will become sufficiently intelligent enough within a few years for this to happen, hence why we need to end wars, prevent premature deaths and suicides and encourage healthy living (no drinking, no smoking, no drugs, healthy food and lots of exercise). Once we have the ability to live forever, our lives will radically change for the better. Once machines are truly awesome, we will be able to eat all the donuts we want (the wait will be worth it).

New breakthroughs are echoing old wisdom. Chaos and order both need to exist. So, when you look at a human, its limitations, create perspectives, and those perspectives function as the chaos.

[@nicbarth3838]

To be fair neither do you, no one can conceptualize infinity, you are also posing the idea that you couldn't rationally be afraid of death unless you can consider the frightening opposite to death which is living forever, I think this is unfair because, no one actually is banned from being existentially fearful of dying just because they haven't considered living forever. You still feel fear either way, I agree living in eternity COULD be terrifying but its not obviously clear if it is awful. This assumes that we know human nature which well we don't for certain.

[@darrenjeromemusic]

I love Brian’s comment on why he prides himself on being different, as we are thriving currently from those before us who persevered in their differences to form greatness in themselves and thus the world, this resonates with earl Knightingales view on the opposite of success being conformity… this world and humanity needs people to pride themselves on what makes them different and society should pride each and everyone for their difference of all kinds and in all levels giving life to self expression and fulfilment that will filter through society bringing light to humanity, AI will aid humanity in achieving this…

Bryan has many intriguing and wise thoughts. The few videos I have seen about him were about longevity so this was a nice suprise. I found interesting, what he said about hate toward him. Writing stupid comments isn't my style but I did feel some degree of hate when seeing his longevity videos for the first time. It's weird because almost always the only people I hate are stupid or selfish people, so there must be something scary in that "don't die" idea. I believe Bryan's explanation is right that the hate comes from the fact, that I should face and change all the uncomfortable and disfunctioning aspects of my life. It's a daunting task and I have always thought a death as a relief. Also the idea of living hundreds of years is nothing short of terrifying. To be sure I don't hate him but thank him for explaining my irrational thinking.

My mother, a doctor, says the likely cause is I get a LOT of heavy exercise (farming, forestry, butchery, building, walking) which she suggests stimulated my bones to keep growing, particularly in my legs.

LeCun, the chief AI scientist at Meta who is often called one of the "godfathers of AI," shot down Musk's argument, taking a dig at Tesla's self-driving cars in the making. "No," he said on X. "If it were the case, we would have AI systems that could teach themselves to drive a car in 20 hours of practice, like any 17 year-old. "But we still don't have fully autonomous, reliable self-driving, even though we (you) have millions of hours of labeled training data," LeCun added.
