Hey everyone, welcome everybody to the inaugural Superhuman Summit. Thank you all for coming, each one of you from all corners of the world. Some of you from just around the corner, but nevertheless, I'm grateful that you're all here for the very first one. Now, this all started with a tweet.
So, at the peak of the AI hype, Brian tweeted this and then he asked, 'So, we just had the global AI summit. Where's the global human improvement summit?' And then responded to himself with this.
And I reached out and I said, 'These are the exact kind of topics that keep me up at night.' And obviously, Brian couldn't relate because he goes to bed at 7:00 p.m. and sleeps like a baby. But I asked, you know, if I host this, would you do it with me? And he said yes. So fast forward 2025, here we are in this room.
People from across the world, different disciplines gathered to talk about the next phase of human evolution. As per the intro, we've created this environment where our bodies and minds aren't really keeping up. And hopefully after today, we've gained some more insights and learned a little bit about the things at our disposal to do something about it if we want to.
And there's one question that we need to answer before we move on. It's a crucial element to why we're meeting here physically. Because of all the things that we know that we're going to talk about, treatments, products, experiments, there's one thing that affects us super positively, has proven over again to have benefits to health and well-being. It's the power of community, the antithesis of isolation. So, thank you all for recognizing that to take proper time out and be here. Really be here.
Now, we have a packed schedule, lots of content, so I'm going to keep this introduction short. Please help me welcome to the stage our host for the day, Brian Johnson.
Hey guys.
So first, express my appreciation to Ash. This is so hard to pull off for those of you who put on physical events. Ash, I'm so grateful.
You know, I knew when I posted that tweet, it needed to happen, but I also knew it just wasn't my thing to do. And Ash, I appreciate you for doing this.
