Bryan Johnson describes Project Blueprint, a multi-million-dollar initiative to integrate technology with the human body. He believes future historians will see it as the moment humanity stopped self-destructive habits like drinking and smoking through data collection and algorithms, unleashing creative energy and human flourishing.
Someone investing millions of dollars in Project Blueprint. What are my aspirations for the impact it has on society? I hope that people in the 25th century are talking amongst themselves and they're learning about the early 21st century, the time that you and I live right now, and they're commenting on the things that changed humanity in the most significant ways. And they identify Project Blueprint as the time where society realized that we could embrace our technology and we can take an approach where we allow the entire body to spe through data. We could look at the scientific evidence and then we can build algorithms that take better care of our health and wellness than we can ourselves. And in doing that, it led to this explosion of human flourishing because we were no longer drowning ourselves in these self destructive behaviors. We were able to apply all of our creative and wonderful energy to doing different things than engage in drinking and smoking and overeating and things that generally cause our decay.
