Kids at one of the most prestigious schools in the world gluttonous on junk food.
In this YouTube excerpt, Bryan Johnson shares a video his 17‑year‑old son recorded at a college orientation for a prestigious university. The footage shows some of the world’s most talented young people indulging in large amounts of sugar, junk food, alcohol, and staying awake through the night. Johnson expresses deep sadness and concern over the stark disconnect he perceives between the students’ intellectual ambitions and their physically unhealthy habits. He reflects on how poor sleep and junk‑food diets impair cognition and mood, noting that his son is aware of these effects and chooses not to follow the crowd. The segment ends with Johnson admitting that the scene has lingered in his mind, prompting ongoing worry about the future health of high‑achieving humans.
