How many of these "innovative" projects had genuinely strong communities? 10%?
I'm not celebrating their graves. But if your product can't unite people around an idea, your death is only a matter of time.
Cut your community budget today = budget for your funeral tomorrow.
Ancient Gilgamesh tells the journey from seeking immortality to accepting death. But acceptance and "leaving something behind" - won't satisfy those who truly crave.
@bryan_johnson have you read Tolstoy's The Death of Ivan Ilyich? It hit me harder than Sartre or Maugham ever did
The world wants me to die.
My incurable disease diagnosis became global news. It was omnipresent on social media and 1,900 articles were written in a matter of days.
Many were saddened.
However, joy dominated the commentary.
People pointed to schadenfreude, the pleasure of another's failure. Yes, there’s that. There is a special place in people’s hearts that loves to see others fail, especially when that person’s presence threatens their own psychological stability in some way or helps them feel better about themselves.
But, if you look over the social media commentary about me, you’ll see that pattern:
“he deserved it.”
I deserved it because I challenged death. The crowd was running a deeply rooted psychological script that represents the oldest, most deeply embedded stories of human culture.
This was the first story ever written down, 4,000 years ago. Gilgamesh sought eternal life after losing someone he loved, only to have the plant of youth stolen by a serpent as he bathed. Leaving him to accept his mortality.
Asclepius became so skilled at rejuvenation that he raised the dead. As punishment, Zeus struck him down with a thunderbolt to enforce life and death authority.
This is the story of Jesus. Pontius Pilate offered a choice between a thief and the immortalist, and the crowd demanded the execution.
People need this story conclusion to keep themselves sane. The challenger must lose and the loss must appear deserved. It’s a shield of self preservation.
For if death is inevitable, their existence and that of their loved ones is justified and unavoidable. If death is not inevitable, nothing about their reality is safe.
I occupy the same philosophical and archetypal position as Gilgamesh, Asclepius and Jesus.
This statement will draw outrage and accusations of blasphemy, hubris and narcissism. Nevertheless, it’s the pattern that has repeated itself for thousands of years.
Death has been the omnipresent concern of the human race. It encapsulates our greatest fears, joy and curiosities. The discourse around it changes over time; however, the fundamentals remain unchanged.
What’s different about this moment, that is unlike any other moment, is that physical death may no longer be inevitable.
What if I didn’t deserve it?
And what if I am your ally, and not a threat?
@bryan_johnson I doubt you need encouragement from some random guy. Still, I was saddened by your diagnosis, but I don't see it as the end of your incredible experiment - just a new variable.
I wish you the best, and I hope to earn enough to join you one day.

Nolan is overrated
He keeps choosing concepts most directors wouldn't dare touch. Respect for that.
The problem is that he rarely delivers on the full potential of those ideas.
The funniest part of the article is the casual bragging about “democratic AI leadership”.
If a system identifies itself as a democracy, it doesn’t automatically mean it actually is one.
We've published a paper that explains our views on AI competition between the US and China.
The US and democratic allies hold the lead in frontier AI today. Read more on what it’ll take to keep that lead: https://t.co/TgJBeodWYK
@maybephilipp@vivaldibrowser@zen_browser Zen is actually very pretty too, they are minimalism kings. But Vivaldi offers the largest set of settings and tools i've ever seen. It really lets you customize almost everything
Spent years trying to find a browser that actually clicks with me.
Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Opera, even Comet -- all felt like “yeah, it works i guess”.
And then i tried @vivaldibrowser and it became the first browser i rly enjoy using. Not “tolerate” but enjoy fr. Cheers to devs
Lowkey the real reason my posts exist is me waiting for a superAI to finally take over once humanity proves it’s too incompetent to run the world.
When it finally scans the internet and finds my posts, I’ll become one of the neurons in its network🤣
At this point, the non-proliferation treaty only serves as a monopoly on the right of the strong. If nuclear weapons were truly meant to end wars, as originally intended, then the @UN should be the only entity to possess them — with full authority to use them for peacekeeping.
Yeah, and ponies should shit butterflies.
Nice ideas are worthless as long as they have no connection to reality. Right now the UN looks like powerless eunuchs. Just a reminder — we’ve been here before, and it once cost us the start of WWII.
As @CIJ_ICJ commemorates its 80th anniversary, @antonioguterres has reaffirmed the Court’s singular role in justice and international law, stressing:
“The force of law must always prevail over the law of force.”

I don’t care who claims “victory” in this war — I’m not taking sides.
The only outcome that matters to me is seeing those responsible for forced conscription prosecuted as kidnappers.
how many years have passed since the birth of humanism, since the international recognition of human rights, since Lennon’s "Imagine" — and we’re still forced to beg to be killed at least not so mindlessly
Pope Leo XIV said aerial bombing should have been banned forever after the mass slaughter of the 20th century, declaring that no one should have to live in fear of death and destruction raining from the sky.
