Humans prioritize what gives them status, power and respect. We're so close to a cultural shift where high quality sleep achieves those goals. - Bryan Johnson

People conflate the absence of diagnosis with the presence of health. For those who do not routinely measure their health, that ignorance manifests a false sense of physiological superiority.

Cultural norms - and our conscious minds - consider sleep dispensible. It's a lighthouse to me.

loss of agency is more destabilizing than loss of wealth. chaos erupts when people feel powerless. when you can't sleep, can't stop scrolling, and eat junk, you lose self respect. this internal rot is projected outward as rage.
