Bryan Johnson argues that when facing massive problems like climate change and AI, most people feel powerless. His counterintuitive answer: start with personal self-improvement. Fixing yourself first gives you control and indirectly shapes the bigger picture.
Sustainability on Earth and the emergence of AI, they're big problems that very few people can do meaningful things about. You can recycle your Amazon boxes and, you know, like, I don't know, like, they're very hard things to do. And so that's why starting with self is the baby step that everybody can take, where it's a little bit of control, of identifying that everybody has a role to play in this. And that even though it seems non intuitive, that you would fix something within yourself to address an outside problem, that's the baby step.
