Bryan Johnson brought portable air filters to Mumbai and Delhi to fight India's air pollution crisis. He argues clean air matters more than curing cancer and that small groups adopting healthier practices can shift entire communities toward better health norms.
Brian, I see you are traveling with your air monitoring device here.
We carried an air filter with us everywhere we went. We set it up in the place we are at to clean the air. Improving air quality in India is better than curing cancer.
This was an honor because I genuinely believe that you're at that brink of actually creating a practical change in humans society. And I don't know how many human beings in the current world population can say that.
It is absolutely insane that we would do anything to compromise our existence.
One day we look back at it and probably think of it as a human right violation. But we just do not. We continue living. Nobody thinks we'll move out of Mumbai or Delhi for that matter.
There's strength in community. It takes a teeny percent of society to go in a different direction.
Yeah. How you doing? Good to see you.
To then shift all of society. And I think we're right there on the cusp of shift where health is going to be the norm. And so if we can do this and plant this as a community, it'll be much easier for all of us.
Brian's on an adventure. He understands that people are not going to just eat up this idea of don't die. Very simply, he needs the haters to pass the message on. And in the same way, when you're making choices in life, you need the critics. The criticism, in a sense, is a validation of the idea that this is going to work. It's such an interesting way to look at yourself in the present. You go outside into the future and look in.
