Bryan Johnson argues that humanity needs profound, uncomfortable change to address systemic fragility. COVID-19 exposed supply-chain failures and institutional collapse. Without rebuilding trust and institutions, he says, the situation is dire.
We need to evolve as a species in significant ways. And it feels uncomfortable, it feels foreign, it feels offensive. Breaks everything which we hold sacred. Anything short of that is actually going to be inadequate as an appropriate response to the situation. It's unnerving to me because of how fragile society is. We saw this in Covid when our supply chains break down, the world kind of breaks down. When we don't have reliable institutions that walk us through these things and we don't have trust amongst citizenry, the situation just can't be more serious than it is now.
