[00:00] (0.08s)
There is no real scientific basis for
[00:02] (2.40s)
Johnson's lifestyle. It actually may be
[00:04] (4.72s)
actively bad for his health. And it
[00:07] (7.04s)
sounds absolutely miserable.
[00:13] (13.04s)
Brian Johnson, another tech millionaire
[00:15] (15.12s)
with lots to say but nothing to show for
[00:17] (17.52s)
Brian never claims that the blueprint
[00:19] (19.28s)
diet is the one true diet. In fact, he's
[00:21] (21.68s)
repeatedly
[00:22] (22.56s)
stuck on this egocentric desire to
[00:24] (24.96s)
extend his own life as long
[00:26] (26.56s)
increasingly ludicrous big swings that
[00:28] (28.80s)
rarely turn out to be anything positive.
[00:31] (31.20s)
It's the hitand-run accusation economy.
[00:34] (34.24s)
I don't blame them. Don't die is a very
[00:36] (36.96s)
complicated topic. So, any idea like
[00:40] (40.32s)
this is going to be misunderstood and
[00:43] (43.36s)
I'll probably be misunderstood for all
[00:45] (45.44s)
of time.
[00:54] (54.64s)
What brings you to town? What brings you
[00:56] (56.48s)
We have a Don't die summit tomorrow.
[00:57] (57.84s)
Yeah. Our third. This will be sold out.
[00:59] (59.76s)
1,400 people.
[01:01] (61.28s)
And what goes into that? What's a day at
[01:03] (63.68s)
the Don't Die Summit?
[01:04] (64.72s)
We have a longevity park where you try a
[01:06] (66.24s)
bunch of therapies. Then we teach people
[01:07] (67.84s)
for 4 hours on how to measure biomarkers
[01:10] (70.16s)
and achieve better health. We want it to
[01:11] (71.68s)
be the best time anyone's ever invested
[01:14] (74.08s)
on how to actually improve health
[01:15] (75.52s)
measurably. Mental health, physical
[01:16] (76.88s)
health, all the above.
[01:18] (78.32s)
You're Brian Johnson, right?
[01:19] (79.92s)
Right on, man. Good work.
[01:21] (81.20s)
Thank you, man. New York is home to my
[01:23] (83.44s)
rebirth. The most distinct thing was the
[01:25] (85.84s)
first rave I had in Brooklyn, these
[01:28] (88.00s)
warehouse parties where the dance party
[01:30] (90.08s)
begins at midnight. That was when I
[01:31] (91.60s)
discovered my love of dancing. Growing
[01:33] (93.44s)
up, we never even danced. And so, yeah,
[01:35] (95.92s)
probably the most exciting moment of my
[01:37] (97.92s)
life. Like, just like a transported into
[01:40] (100.40s)
a new reality. Purple cabbage,
[01:44] (104.80s)
the cilantro. Let's do that sweet
[01:46] (106.96s)
potato.
[01:48] (108.80s)
Yeah. My previous version of life was
[01:50] (110.80s)
just in shambles. Everything kind of
[01:52] (112.32s)
fell apart. Came to New York and
[01:54] (114.24s)
experience things brand new in life. And
[01:56] (116.08s)
so, yeah, New York has a soft place in
[01:58] (118.00s)
my heart. It's really great to be back
[02:03] (123.10s)
[Music]
[02:11] (131.28s)
Oh my god.
[02:13] (133.92s)
It there's It's actually insane how
[02:15] (135.92s)
non-factual things are.
[02:17] (137.44s)
Exactly.
[02:18] (138.72s)
The New York Times just ran a negative
[02:20] (140.24s)
piece about Brian. People then saw that
[02:22] (142.88s)
as an authority source. So even if the
[02:25] (145.44s)
details weren't believable or
[02:27] (147.44s)
interesting or dramatic, all of a sudden
[02:29] (149.52s)
people started popping up. independent
[02:31] (151.12s)
people started seeing that opportunity
[02:32] (152.48s)
and saying perfect like this is my time
[02:34] (154.80s)
to talk about Brian Johnson cuz I hate
[02:36] (156.16s)
him for XY reason.
[02:37] (157.76s)
Nobody cares, man. We're not as rich as
[02:39] (159.52s)
you to live forever. People want to be
[02:41] (161.04s)
able to see a doctor. People want to
[02:43] (163.12s)
survive when they get the diagnosis.
[02:45] (165.52s)
People want to get access to meds and
[02:46] (166.88s)
not go bay.
[02:47] (167.52s)
Other people take the baton and start
[02:49] (169.28s)
running with the insults. And so we've
[02:51] (171.04s)
just had this colossal amount of hate,
[02:53] (173.60s)
like very pointed hate. And it's not
[02:56] (176.48s)
justifiable. It is not ethical. It is
[02:58] (178.96s)
not moral. And so it is just such a
[03:01] (181.76s)
unreputable practice.
[03:03] (183.36s)
That's crazy.
[03:05] (185.36s)
that out of like speaking to 30 people
[03:07] (187.52s)
and literally spending a year of the New
[03:09] (189.36s)
York Times money on this that that's
[03:11] (191.92s)
what they can come up with.
[03:13] (193.76s)
He is incentivized to exaggerate the
[03:16] (196.08s)
benefits. He is incentivized to say,
[03:17] (197.76s)
"Yeah, yeah, yeah, the basics, but also
[03:20] (200.32s)
this is the 20% of the work that's
[03:22] (202.88s)
giving you 80% of the benefits." What
[03:25] (205.76s)
the latest scammer, it's Brian Johnson.
[03:28] (208.96s)
Oh, I hope he gets hit by a bus or
[03:30] (210.40s)
something. I'm like, who?
[03:31] (211.52s)
No, that's horrible. Yeah.
[03:33] (213.04s)
So, I did Blueprint for a couple years
[03:34] (214.80s)
and no one paid attention. And then
[03:37] (217.12s)
there was a tweet thread that got, I
[03:39] (219.12s)
think, like 50 million views. And I woke
[03:41] (221.12s)
up one morning, it was just like this
[03:42] (222.64s)
onslaught, a tsunami of vitriol.
[03:45] (225.52s)
Blueprint was less interesting to them
[03:46] (226.96s)
and they were more interested in how I
[03:48] (228.40s)
was responding to people.
[03:49] (229.60s)
It's not about health, guys. It's about
[03:51] (231.12s)
attention. He turned himself into a
[03:53] (233.44s)
brand and product is his obsession. I
[03:56] (236.64s)
think the media views themselves as holy
[04:00] (240.32s)
warriors to some extent of of truth.
[04:03] (243.04s)
They can defame you in ways you can't
[04:05] (245.28s)
recover from.
[04:06] (246.24s)
As a consumer kind of don't trust
[04:08] (248.64s)
anything he says, right?
[04:09] (249.92s)
Brian's sleep score is totally fake. Who
[04:12] (252.24s)
would honestly believe he had 8 months
[04:13] (253.92s)
of perfect sleep?
[04:15] (255.04s)
You can't say anything in response. You
[04:17] (257.52s)
can't defend yourself. You can't dispute
[04:19] (259.28s)
it. You can't dig out,
[04:21] (261.92s)
right? like you you can't that's why I
[04:24] (264.32s)
feel so for Lauren and lubricas is it
[04:27] (267.28s)
just creates paralysis like why do
[04:29] (269.44s)
anything
[04:32] (272.56s)
[Music]
[04:42] (282.00s)
you know when I was building Brainree I
[04:45] (285.44s)
was so depressed and so beaten down
[04:49] (289.04s)
that I thought if I don't make it on
[04:52] (292.00s)
This one I'm smoked.
[04:55] (295.56s)
[Music]
[04:58] (298.48s)
You know, starting something going from
[04:59] (299.92s)
zero to one is just like nothing else.
[05:03] (303.68s)
It is so hard. The problem is I never
[05:08] (308.00s)
Like ultimately I know I would get back
[05:10] (310.16s)
up. Like I know that's the case and we
[05:13] (313.92s)
have to stand up a few more zero to
[05:16] (316.56s)
The future is not going to work unless
[05:18] (318.48s)
we stand up zero to ones.
[05:21] (321.48s)
[Music]
[05:28] (328.64s)
Hey guys,
[05:30] (330.08s)
how you doing? Good to see you. Good to
[05:31] (331.20s)
see you. How you guys doing?
[05:32] (332.64s)
I genuinely care about showing up for
[05:36] (336.96s)
people and about being sincere and
[05:39] (339.76s)
trusted to show up.
[05:41] (341.76s)
We're trying to go for precision and
[05:43] (343.28s)
these instructions matter a lot. 2 in
[05:45] (345.20s)
above the ground and then full
[05:46] (346.48s)
extension. 67
[05:49] (349.04s)
182. Good job.
[05:53] (353.76s)
42. Good job. What's your What's your
[05:55] (355.20s)
chronological age?
[05:56] (356.24s)
The entirety of my online interactions
[05:58] (358.32s)
is yes. And if somebody is going to
[06:00] (360.32s)
insult me, I will accept the insult and
[06:02] (362.56s)
then yes and them.
[06:03] (363.92s)
Is it healthy to never get sunlight and
[06:06] (366.80s)
to be that pasty looking? Yes. Actually,
[06:10] (370.48s)
yes. Skin cancer is a big don't get it.
[06:12] (372.88s)
It's really been a great formula because
[06:14] (374.56s)
it diffuses the hater. If you give them
[06:16] (376.40s)
a no butt, then they've got something to
[06:17] (377.92s)
work with. If you asand them, it just
[06:19] (379.84s)
like wipes it.
[06:24] (384.91s)
[Music]
[06:26] (386.88s)
Brian looks like the kind of guy who
[06:28] (388.40s)
never has fun, never gets out, and and
[06:30] (390.88s)
will never realize that life exists
[06:32] (392.72s)
beyond his living room.
[06:36] (396.74s)
[Music]
[06:43] (403.04s)
Health is a universal desire. It
[06:46] (406.24s)
transcends borders. It trans
[06:48] (408.24s)
ethnicities. It transcends ideologies.
[06:50] (410.48s)
It is the one thing we all share in
[06:52] (412.80s)
common. And so, if I can help my fellow
[06:55] (415.36s)
humans be healthy in any part of the
[06:57] (417.12s)
world, I'm eagerly willing to do so. For
[06:59] (419.76s)
75 days, I ate the exact same diet is
[07:02] (422.32s)
Brian Johnson. The best part about this
[07:04] (424.16s)
is how good you feel all the time. For
[07:06] (426.16s)
me, mental clarity and ability to focus
[07:08] (428.48s)
went way up. My body weight dropped from
[07:11] (431.68s)
192 to 164 lb.
[07:16] (436.00s)
This is 5 lbs of body fats. And
[07:19] (439.52s)
according to Dexa, I lost 60% of this
[07:23] (443.76s)
total mass in one week.
[07:25] (445.84s)
If he's going to be a guinea pig, put
[07:27] (447.20s)
himself through hell, and then give us
[07:28] (448.64s)
some tips so we don't have to. And then
[07:30] (450.08s)
we're all just reminded like, "Oh yeah,
[07:31] (451.76s)
just sleep 8 hours." I'm like, I'm kind
[07:33] (453.92s)
of here for it cuz I don't want to live
[07:35] (455.92s)
like that, but he can live like that and
[07:37] (457.44s)
just tell us what actually works.
[07:39] (459.68s)
We're all after the same thing. And what
[07:41] (461.76s)
I'm interested in is the overlap in the
[07:43] (463.36s)
ven diagrams. So, I I'm glad that Brian
[07:46] (466.00s)
came up because I think he represents
[07:47] (467.68s)
one spoke on the wheel and it's and it's
[07:50] (470.24s)
an important one. In the in his absence,
[07:52] (472.16s)
I think the field will progress less
[07:54] (474.08s)
quickly. Blueprint is not about the
[07:56] (476.24s)
exact diet. It's not about the exact
[07:58] (478.56s)
exercise protocol. It's not about red
[08:00] (480.64s)
light therapy or a bedtime routine or
[08:02] (482.96s)
about skinincare. At its core, Project
[08:04] (484.96s)
Blueprint is about using measurement and
[08:06] (486.88s)
data to back up health choices.
[08:08] (488.80s)
What's up, man? How you doing? Good to
[08:10] (490.00s)
see you. How's it going?
[08:11] (491.20s)
Yeah, I'm good. I'm a big fan. Man, I
[08:12] (492.88s)
keep your videos on my YouTube.
[08:14] (494.56s)
Is it working? Are you going to bed on
[08:16] (496.24s)
Uh, hopefully soon.
[08:18] (498.80s)
I don't know what to make of all this,
[08:20] (500.08s)
right? Like, but it does intuitively it
[08:22] (502.64s)
feels to me that my role in this
[08:25] (505.84s)
tapestry of existence is to try to sherp
[08:28] (508.88s)
the human race in a positive way to this
[08:31] (511.76s)
new thing which sits on the other side
[08:34] (514.24s)
of all of our current ideas about what
[08:36] (516.00s)
reality is.
