The effort to portray Bryan Johnson as a scam artist or evil sociopath is an extremely interesting phenomenon that should really get a good cultural critique of its own.

His backstory is also interesting, he's an ex-Mormon but there's a big contingent of Mormon Transhumanists, motivated by Mormon eschatology

Oh interesting. I knew he was Mormon but wasn't aware of that aspect.

Yeah, I've been following him since the Kernel days. Elon announced Neuralink something like 6 months after Bryan created Kernel, which makes me think Elon stole the idea, since Bryan joined the PayPal mafia after his company (BrainTree) was acquired by PP. https://www.wired.com/story/inside-the-race-to-build-a-brain-machine-interface/
