Christian Angermayer: AI Will Change Everything, But This Could BREAK Us

Christian Angermayer is a visionary investor, biotech entrepreneur, and outspoken advocate for psychedelics, longevity, and radical human potential. From his roots in a tiny Bavarian village to founding billion-dollar ventures like Atai Life Sciences & the Enhanced Games, Christian is helping shape the future of mental health, AI, and post-work society.

In this expansive episode, we dive into why psychedelics may be the antidote to modern fear, what the post-work world might look like by 2030, how to raise an AI-native teenager, and why Christian believes we must rewrite the story of what it means to be human.

Expect to learn:

• ​How psychedelics can help humanity navigate the biggest transition in history.
• ​Why “fear is the mind killer”—and the hidden cost of living without purpose.
• ​How Christian balances belief in life after death with the pursuit of longevity.
• ​How the Don't Die movement could become our most unifying global story.
• ​How AI will replace most work—and why that might be a blessing, not a curse.
• ​The real reason society must reframe aging, death, and human value.
