Bryan Johnson says Blueprint has actually strengthened his relationships and expanded his community, not isolated him as people assume. He pushes back on the stereotype that his longevity regimen makes him miserable and obsessive, saying his lived reality is far more socially rewarding than outsiders understand.
Community is one of the biggest pillars of longevity, right? So how do you prioritize that and build it into the algorithm?
My social life is now more rewarding than it ever has been, maybe because community has formed around this. And so I'm intensely engaged with people who have an interest in this kind of well being. It also has made social norms so much easier. I'd say my relationships have strengthened, my community has increased, and I've never been more emotionally connected, which again, is the opposite of what most people assume, which, which is I must be isolated. It's been interesting. Like even people who have carefully studied blueprint from the outside, then they've spent time with me internally, they walk away saying, I had no idea. I thought you were this miserable rich person killing himself trying to live forever, or whatever the observation may be. So it really is interesting that so few, if anyone, really understands what this endeavor is about and what it feels like to be me. It feels like it's really clouded in these observations that people are making.
