Bryan Johnson explains why he prioritizes what people in 2500 will think of him over current approval. He connects mental clarity to business success and well-being, discussing the habits and neurochemical states that support peak thinking and how they shape his decisions about legacy.
You run a business, you're incredibly intelligent. You have to. Most of your happiness and success relies on you thinking clearly. So how does that affect your mind and your body.
In terms of performance?
So.
Not just sleep, but actual, like, mental performance, certain neurochemical states, like feeling like you're living life, that life has enjoyment. Sometimes you want to disregard certain rules, to have a moment of passion, of focus. There's this architecture of the way Lex is, which makes you happy as a story you tell, as something you kind of experience. Maybe it's the experience is a bit more complicated, but in this idea you have, this is a version of you. And the reason why I maintain the schedule I do is I've chosen a game to say I would like to live a life where I care more about what people who live in the year 2500 think of me than I do today.
