Interesting interview, but the “we are creating GOD” comment was egregious and revealed a lot of this man’s ego. Disappointed there wasn’t more questions/pushback on that statement.

Ryan: I agree that comment revealed a lot about Mr. Johnson. Technology/Data/Rationalism - those are god to him. He believes real truth, and therefore meaning, can be found via making "sacrifices" (staying hungry, recording his biometrics) and being "good" (eschewing food temptations, scheduling sleep). He's actually more of a religious zealot than almost anyone I've ever heard about.
