Bryan Johnson's documentary, 'Don't Die', highlights an increasing trend toward longevity, spearheaded by tech entrepreneurs and AI. While figures like Ray Kurzweil envision a future where humans merge with AI for immortality, the focus for many is on extending life rather than achieving true immortality. This raises concerns about becoming so fixated on prolonging life that one neglects to live fully. Despite advancements in understanding aging, the reality of mortality remains, reminding us that while we strive for longevity, it is essential to value the quality of life we have now.
The danger of Johnson's obsessive approach is spending so much time trying to extend your life that you never quite get around to living it.
Most of the longevity movement is not really about immortality but rather about extending life and limiting the damaging effects of aging.
