Bryan Johnson argues that humans sabotage themselves through repeated self-destructive habits like overeating, despite being intelligent. He says controlling impulses and emotions is the first step to breaking these cycles and achieving lasting change.
My project blueprint. The primary observation was that when my mind was able to do what it wanted, and when it wanted, it continuously engaged in self destructive behavior, I would overeat, I would do things excessively. And it's funny because, you know, we humans say we are the most intelligent species on this planet, yet we commit a tremendous amount of self sabotage on a routine basis. And over our entire lifetime we may make the same mistake thousands of times and we are helpless to stop repeating that mistake.
