Bryan Johnson says most people drown in conflicting health advice. He proposes Blueprint: a publicly shared dataset of measured health interventions designed as a practical starting point, not a perfect answer, to help people take simple, data-backed steps toward better health.
It's really at the most fundamental level in society, and we all know this from interacting with our friends and family. People want to know what to do to be healthy, and they go out and they survey the world and they find a complete cacophony of noise, of everyone is disagreeing with everyone. And there's so many ways to go about doing health, but you can't really discern which one is better than the other. And a lot of people are confused. And so a blueprint at the most basic level, is there potentially a better way, a less wrong way to go about health and wellness? And that's what we've been trying to do, is be robustly measured, chronicle the entire thing, share the data with everyone so that there's at least an entry point to say, can I do something with some data? Not to say it's the best that can be that's possible. Not to say it's the only thing that's possible, but it's a way possible. And then as we move to further levels of, you know, trying to increase the therapeutic effect of slowing the speed of aging and reversing those, of course, are higher goals. At the most basic level is can people feel comfortable making basic steps in life to try to take care of themselves?
