Bryan Johnson describes his project to "goal align" the 35 trillion cells in his body toward a single objective: reducing entropy. He argues that mastering yourself this way is harder than landing on the Moon or going to Mars, and that it's essential for humanity's future.
I'm trying to goal align 35 trillion cells that make up me, and the objective function is to reduce entropy. So I'm running this massive computational model with 35 trillion cells on goal alignment with myself, and I'm basically saying, can everything inside of me try to go after one goal, which is less entropy? And so to me, the mastery of self is the ultimate challenge for anyone to go after. It's harder than going to the moon, it's harder than going to Mars, and that's. I think we're going to succeed as a species. That's the hard work we need to do.
