Bryan Johnson says being human is extraordinarily hard because everyone is experiencing pain. His empathy toward critics comes from assuming others suffer as much as he does, which he sees as a form of group therapy that could transform how we treat each other online.
When I was looking through your Twitter, I've been very impressed by how much empathy and kindness it seems like you present to people who are trying to detract from your message or trying to put you down. Where does that empathy and kindness come from?
It's extraordinarily hard to be human. Everyone's in pain whatever the person says. You know, I don't think it's truly about me, mostly about them. It's just a form of group therapy, and if we could confidently assume that other people are in just as much pain as we are, if we had that information, maybe it changed our behaviors.
