Top Scientist REVEALS: AI Could Be The Next Einstein, Robots Will Deserve Rights! | Prof Brian Greene

The Diary Of A CEO with Steven Bartlett, 17 August 2026.

Brian Greene describes reading The Denial of Death by Ernest Becker in his twenties. He explains Becker's thesis that human behaviour is largely driven by awareness of mortality, and reflects that this framework increasingly made sense to him—finding it a compelling lens on life while also noting the curious side effect of constantly thinking about one's own death.
