درباره این اپیزود
There are way too many dudes named Brian and/or Bryan Johnson (AC/DC guy, Liver King guy etc.) but the one we’re talking about today is the Bryan Johnson who tweets all day about the crazy science experiments he does on himself in the hopes of becoming immortal. We brought on our friend, the musician and technologist Mat Dryhurst, to talk about Johnson and his schtick. In the episode, Mat admits that he’s “kind of a transhumanist,” then we talk about how everyone becomes a parody of themselves to get attention these days, consider whether it’s better to be trapped in an infinite life glitch that’s very boring or live a rich but normal-length life, plus some other stuff. Sadly Yannick’s audio cut off as he was talking about how sick it would be to get reincarnated as an octopus but the episode’s still good.
