Uma kuziwa ekuphileni impilo ende, uBryan Johnson une-mantra elula: ungafi. Isifiso sokungafi sidle ubhiliyoni oneminyaka engu-45 ubudala ongusomabhizinisi kanye nosomabhizinisi imali engaphezu kuka-$4 million—kuze kube manje. Imali, uJohnson uthe Idayari ye-CEO podcast, yaya ikakhulukazi ocwaningweni lwesayensi nezinqubo zokulinganisa.

“Ngithi ungafi ngoba thina njengezilwane kwesinye isikhathi kuba nzima ukubambisana ezintweni ezehlukene,” kusho uJohnson. Decrypt engxoxweni. “Ngakho-ke unikeza noma yisiphi isihloko esiphakamayo, uzwa cishe inani elingenamkhawulo lemibono entweni ethile, futhi sikuthola kunzima kakhulu ukuvumelana.

“Into eyodwa sonke esivumelana ngayo nsuku zonke ukuthi ungafi,” ehleka.

UJohnson uthe umqondo wokuthi “ungafi” ungabonakala ekuphileni kwansuku zonke, kusukela ekubhekeni nhlangothi zombili ngaphambi kokuwela umgwaqo kuya ekushintsheni inhlabamkhosi yentuthu lapho ikhala futhi ilahla ukudla okukhuntile.

“Ngakho-ke ngamunye wethu, ngaphandle abambalwa balabo abasonqenqemeni lokuzibulala, empeleni abafi njengento yokuqala nokuba khona kwabo,” kusho yena. “Ayikho into ebaluleke ukwedlula ukungafi kubo.”

UJohnson waqala isifiso sakhe sokuphila isikhathi eside ngo-Agasti ngocwaningo lwakhe lokuqala olusezingeni eliphezulu, ezama qamba kabusha umthondo wakhe nge electrotherapy. 

“Yini amadoda ayikhathalela ngaphezu kwanoma yini enye?” Kusho uJohnson. “Ikhono lendoda lokusukuma nokuba nempilo yocansi enempilo libaluleke ngempela, futhi uma indoda ingakwazi ukusukuma ingakwazi ukuya ocansini, ilimaza ingqondo. Kuyihlazo nokuphoxeka.” 

UJohnson uthe inhloso yokuletha ukunaka ekwelashweni kwakhe kokuvuselela isitho sakhe sangasese bekuwukulwa ne-taboo mayelana nokungasebenzi kahle kwenduku nokuxoxa ngemithi enobufakazi obusiza labo abaswele.

I-Blueprint

Ngo-Okthoba 2021, uJohnson wethula I-Project Blueprint, umhlahlandlela wesinyathelo ngesinyathelo futhi ubike ngohambo lwakhe lokuphila isikhathi eside.

"Uhlelo akukona ukujezisa noma ngubani noma ukusho ukuthi udinga ukuzithiba," kusho uJohnson. “Umphakathi awunabo ubulungisa njengamanje—ubeka wonke lawa mandla anjengoNkulunkulu kumuntu ukuze amenze umlutha wayo yonke into. Lokhu engikushoyo kwakuyisilima lesi, futhi lokhu kwakusilimaza sonke. Ngakho-ke masenze impilo ephelele, njengomlingo.

"I-Blueprint izama ukungenzela ingqalasizinda ekuqaleni, kwabanye, futhi manje ngokwezinga lomphakathi," eqhubeka. "Kunengqondo ukuthi wonke umuntu wenza lokhu njengenjwayelo."

UJohnson akayedwa emzamweni wakhe wokuphila isikhathi eside, futhi ulethe uyise nendodana ohambweni. 

“Nganika ubaba, ubaba wami oneminyaka engu-71 ubudala, ilitha elilodwa le-plasma yami, wayekhishwe amamililitha angu-600 eplasma yakhe; Kwehlise ijubane lakhe lokuguga ngeminyaka engu-25,” kusho uJohnson ephawula ukuthi uma umuntu ekhula, uyakhula ngokushesha. "Ngakho-ke lokho kusho ukuthi lapho nsuku zonke siguga, nsuku zonke sisondela kancane ekufeni."

“Ubaba waguga ngesivinini somuntu oneminyaka engu-71 ubudala waya kwengu-46 nelilodwa le-plasma yami, futhi lokho kwaqhubeka izinyanga eziyisithupha,” enezela. “Kwakuwushintsho olukhulu ekuphileni kwakhe.”

UJohnson uvumile ukuthi ukuhlola kwakhe ukuthola i-plasma yendodana yakhe eneminyaka engu-17 akuzange kube nomthelela empilweni yakhe.

“Awuzange ube mkhulu kangako umehluko phakathi kwezinga lami nempilo yabo,” kusho uJohnson. "Ngakho-ke akunamphumela."

Omunye umuntu osemkhankasweni kaJohnson wokuphila isikhathi eside Kate Tolo, owayeyisisebenzi senkampani ye-neuroscience i-Kernel, uJohnson ayisungula ngo-2016. U-Tolo ungowesifazane wokuqala ukuzibophezela ku-Blueprint.

"Ngingaphikisa ngokuthi, noma ngabe kuwukuthuthuka okuncane nje, kufanelekile ukuthatha lesi sinyathelo sokuzinakekela kangcono," kusho uTolo kuDayari ye-podcast ye-CEO.

"Ngichithe unyaka ngifunda mayelana ne-AI efika njengejwayelekile nokuthi uhlobo lwabantu luzobhekana kanjani nalokhu," utshele umsakazi uSteven Bartlett. "Ngazizwa nginamandla okuwukuphela kwendlela [yokuqhubekela] phambili njengoba uhlobo oluthile kungaba ukunamathela ku-AI futhi sihlangane ne-AI ngandlela thize."

Ingxenye ebalulekile ye-Blueprint ukulala, uJohnson athi wazakhela kuyo impilo yakhe. 

“Ayikho into ebaluleke ukwedlula ukulala kimina,” kusho uJohnson, efanisa isidingo sokulala kwekhwalithi nokufaka imaskhi yomoya endizeni kuqala ngaphambi kokusiza abanye.

“Ngihlela ukuthi ngidla nini, imicimbi yami yokuzijabulisa, uhlelo lwami lomsebenzi, yonke into ethinta ukulala, okuphambene ncamashi nalokho okwenziwa umphakathi njengamanje,” kusho uJohnson, enezela ngokuthi usebhale izinyanga eziyisishiyagalombili zokulala okuphelele. 

Enkulumweni ne BloombergU-Ashlee Vance, uJohnson ukugcizelele lokho kumisa ezilimazayo imikhuba ibalulekile ukuze uphile isikhathi eside, izimpilo ezinempilo.

“Sonke sinalezi zinguqulo ngaphakathi kwethu lapho senza khona lokhu kuziphatha okuzilimazayo, futhi sikwenza njalo kaningi,” kuphawula yena. “Izikhathi eziningi kungenziwa inzuzo enkulu uma nje singayeka ezinye zalezo zindlela zokuziphatha ezizilimaza kakhulu.”

Ngo-September, umbiko wokulala wethimba lezinhlaka ezihlukene zabacwaningi bamazwe ngamazwe wathi abantu abangalali ngendlela evamile basengozini enkulu yokufa bengakafiki iminyaka engu-75. Leli thimba lalihlanganisa nochwepheshe baseHarvard Medical School, Massachusetts General Hospital, Broad Institute—i-biomedical. kanye nesikhungo socwaningo lwe-genomic esiseCambridge, Mass.—Brigham and Women's Hospital eBoston, Monash University in Australia, kanye neNyuvesi yaseManchester e-UK.

Ukuhlakanipha okungekhona okwangempela

Ubuchwepheshe buyisici esibalulekile ekufuneni kukaJohnson ukuphila isikhathi eside, futhi uthe ubuhlakani bokwenziwa busize ibutho nokwenza lula indlela yakhe yokuphila.

Nakuba i-algorithm elawula ukuphila kwethu kwansuku zonke ingase ingazwakali iheha, buza umsebenzi we-YouTube. UJohnson ufanise okuhlangenwe nakho nokuthembela kukakapteni ezindleleni ezivamile, njengokwahlulela komuntu siqu, esikhundleni sokushayela imoto ngokuzenzekelayo. 

“Sizale ingane ehlakaniphe kakhulu, futhi ihamba ngokushesha kunalokho esikucabangayo,” kusho uJohnson. “Engikushoyo ukuthi sikulesi sikhathi esikhethekile lapho sishintsha izinhlobo zezilwane kulo mbono wokuthi sizokufa, ngakho-ke singaphila ngakho, asazi ukuthi kanjani. Ngakho-ke, ungafi kuba yizinto eziza kuqala kithi kuphela nokuthi singaphila kahle kangakanani.”

Endabeni eshiwo uJohnson, ukaputeni womkhumbi uba nengxabano yezimpawu nalokho acabanga ukuthi ngomunye umkhumbi, kuyilapho empeleni esondela endlini yezibani. Usozigidigidi uthe kukhombisa ukuthi abantu bavamise ukugabadela kanjani izinga lokulawula abanalo nokuthi kufanele bathembe ubuchwepheshe obufana ne-autopilot kanye ne-artificial intelligence.

"Isihluthulelo lapha ukuthi lapho ubuchwepheshe buthuthuka ngezinga elithile, kuba ngcono kakhulu ukuthi kukhulisa amakhono ethu okufeza umsebenzi othile," kusho uJohnson. “Engikushoyo ukuthi, isikhathi eside kakhulu, singaba okaputeni bomkhumbi wethu futhi sithathe zonke lezi zinqumo ezincane lapha nalaphaya. Manje, sisesimweni esihlukile, futhi kungcono kakhulu ngathi ukuthi sishaye i-autopilot.” 

“Engikwakhile i-autopilot yempilo yami ngoba ingenzela umsebenzi ongcono,” usho kanje. "Ikusasa liyindlu yesibani, into esingeke siyinqobe."

Nakuba abadeleli bengase baklolode futhi bathuke, uJohnson ukuthatha kancane lokho.

“Akukho engingakufakazela, angizivikeli,” kusho uJohnson. “Ngizijabulisa kakhulu kunalokho engake ngaba nakho kukho konke ukuphila kwami.”

“Ngiba nesikhathi sokuphila kwami,” kugcizelela uJohnson. “Ngiyazi ukuthi izihloko zezindaba ziholela abantu ekucabangeni izinto ezingalungile ngami, futhi lokho kulungile; singahamba ndawonye kulolu hambo, futhi sizothola ukuthi ubani omunye ngesikhathi. Kodwa cha, ngiyaphila, ukahle, futhi lesi kuzoba isikhathi esimnandi ndawonye.”
