这同样也是人们对我所持有的一种态度和哲学:“来吧,Bryan,活得随性一点!”
他们希望我去参与那些通向死亡的社交仪式(垃圾食品、酒精等等),本质上是在要求我:通过慢性自毁,来证明我还活着。
this is also the philosophy that people use towards me: "come on bryan, live a little!" where they want me to participate in social rituals of death (junk food, alcohol, etc), basically asking me to kill myself to prove that I'm alive.

1️⃣ “活一点”在当代语境里,常常等于自我消耗
这句话被包装成关怀,实际是在推动一种默认规范:
用健康、清醒与长期能力,交换当下的社交认同。
垃圾食品、酒精、熬夜,被合理化为“生活”;拒绝它们,反而被视为“不合群”。
2️⃣ “社交仪式的死亡”不是比喻,而是机制
这些仪式有三个共同点:
- 即时快感
- 可复制、可群体同步
- 长期负外部性由个体承担
群体获得的是当下的情绪一致性;
个人承担的是慢性损耗。
3️⃣ 关键反转:被要求自毁,来证明你在活着
这是整段话最锋利的洞察。当“活着”被定义为“和大家一样消耗”,那么自律、克制、长期主义就会被视为对群体的威胁。
于是,群体会施压:不是因为你错了,而是因为你让他们的选择显得不那么必要。
4️⃣ 这是对“生命定价”的再一次错误
在当前体系里:短期快乐被高估、长期存在被低估
因此,“慢性自毁”被浪漫化,“生物持续性”被嘲笑为过度理性。
5️⃣ 真正的独立,是拒绝用自毁换取认同
这不是反社交,而是拒绝把身体和心智当作社交货币。
真正的活着,不是参与所有仪式,而是为未来保留行动力、判断力与时间。
一句话封顶
当一个社会要求你通过自我消耗来证明自己还活着时,清醒本身就成了一种反叛。

- 我并不把自己看作是“Bryan Johnson”这个单一的人,而是把自己视为 68 万亿个细胞的集合体。其中超过一半(约 38 万亿)其实是外来的细菌——我所“寄居”的外星生命。此外,我体内还存在着多个不同版本的“我”。 有一个版本的我,在清晨时精力充沛、充满活力;也有一个晚上 7 点的我,被一天的消耗拖得疲惫不堪;还有“父亲版本”的我,等等。这些不同的“Bryan”,每一个都有着截然不同的生理配置。 我的大脑试图把这些差异与矛盾抹平,并将它们融合成一个统一的身份认同;但数据讲述的是另一个故事。过去几年里,我一直在尝试刻画和理解每一个不同版本的自己。 并不令人意外的是,我发现:数据可以解释我的主观心理与情绪状态。为什么我会感到精力旺盛、疲惫乏力,或者坠入爱河——这些全部都有对应的生化特征。我们在理论上早就知道这一点,但当你真正“看见”这些数据时,冲击感是完全不同的。 通过对自身的持续测量,并在实时状态下观察这些“涌现状态”,我开始对那些影响我意识体验的因素变得异常谨慎和自觉。 从本质上讲,我就是我所有输入的总和。例如:睡眠、营养、运动、环境、压力、生物标志物,以及人际关系。 通过精心设计和管理这些输入,我逐渐为自己的意识存在创造出了更高的可预测性与可控性。过去那种随机、被外部力量推着走的感觉,正在消失;如今,我的大部分真实体验都更像是一种可被建模、可被运行的算法过程。 这在某些人听来或许有些反乌托邦, 但对我而言,它带来的感受是——解放与赋能。 I don’t see myself as Bryan Johnson, but as a collection of 68 trillion cells. Over half of those cells (38 trillion) are foreign bacteria. Aliens that I host. There’s also various versions of me. There’s a version of me that feels energetic and vibrant in the mornings; there is another Bryan at 7 pm who is worn from the day. There’s a dad version of me and so on. Each of these Bryans has a distinct physiological configuration. My brain tries to smooth over these differences and contradictions and fuse them into a single identity, but the data tells a different story. I’ve spent the past few years trying to characterize each version of me. Unsurprisingly, I’ve found that data can explain my subjective mental and emotional states. Explaining why I feel vivacious, or lethargic, or in love. There are biochemical signatures for all of it. We know this, but seeing it makes it hit differently. Measuring myself and seeing these emergent states in real time has led me to be especially thoughtful about the factors that influence my conscious experience. I am basically my inputs. Things such as sleep, nutrition, exercise, environment, stress, biomarkers and relationships. Carefully designing these, I’ve been able to create more predictability and control over my conscious existence. Where it felt kind of random before, or that I was being pushed around by forces outside of my influence, so much of my lived experience now feels algorithmic. While that might sound dystopic to some, it feels liberating and empowering to me.Bryan Johnson · 2025/12/26
- 市场目前正在严重错误地给人类生命定价。眼下的共识交易是:消耗生物资产(你的身体和心智),来换取法币和社会地位。但很快,生物持续性将成为最有价值的资产。 the market is currently severely mispricing human life. right now, the consensus trade is to spend down biological assets (your body+mind) to acquire fiat currency and status. soon biological persistence will become the most valued asset.Bryan Johnson · 2025/12/23
