Bryan Johnson imagines what people in 2500 will think of us now. He argues we're drowning in distractions and urgent alarms, and that quieting the mind is the only way to figure out what actually matters.
And my mind continually goes to those who are intelligent that exist in the year 2500, whatever that form of intelligence is, when they look back what mattered in the 21st century. And of course, it will be obvious to them at that time, like it is when we look back 1600s or 1700s or 1800s. And that's the kind of clarity I try to have every day. It's very hard because you kind of have to go through the gauntlet of your mind. Your mind is always trying to knock you off track, and it's trying to ring the alarm bells of like, hey, think about this, or think about that, or this is urgent, and it's quieting the mind and really trying to isolate those things.
