Bryan Johnson compares piloting a plane at 9,500 feet to managing his own body. The plane's autopilot stays perfectly steady because it measures everything continuously. He asks: could we build the same kind of autopilot for a human body?
One day I was flying an airplane. I really enjoy aviation. I was at 9,500ft, and I was flying the plane with my hands, like, a little left, little right, little down, little off. And then I flipped on autopilot, and it just pegged the attitude, like, just absolutely perfectly. It didn't have the deviations that I had of, like, slight left, slight right, up, down. And it did it because it has all these instruments around the airplane measuring everything at a speed and precision that I'm incapable of. And I thought, that's amazing. Would it be possible if I could build an autopilot for Brian, my autonomous self?
