Bryan Johnson argues humanity lacks a coordinated plan for survival, instead flying by the seat of our pants on major decisions. He's drafted a personal blueprint covering marriage, children, and death, but says we need a species-level strategy that accepts our propensity for violence rather than trying to eliminate it.
I wrote a plan for humanity. We plan for everything. Marriage and kids and college and death. But we really don't have a plan as a species. We just kind of fly by the seat of our pants. We do things individually, not really on a large scale. If we think about ourselves as one big team and we're trying to optimize for our survival, having continued existence, having lives we want to live, having a future we're excited about, in many ways, it ties back to this, what these core principles are, blueprint what we've been doing. And at the core of it, we humans have this propensity towards destruction and violence. It's not something that we can easily change.
