Here’s the truth: my secret plan is for Don’t Die to become the world’s most influential ideology by 2027. Our existence depends upon it.
For 2,500 years, human history has been shaped by ideologies: Capitalism, Democracy, Socialism, Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, etc. But none of these systems are built for this moment.
The question we face—what do humans do when giving birth to superintelligence?—is the most important one in this part of the galaxy. And no one, no country, no ideology, no company has an answer.
New eras demand new ideologies. What we have now is outdated and inadequate.
Don’t Die is the answer. It’s the most played game on Earth—by every human, every second of every day. It’s the one thing all 8 billion of us agree on: we don’t want to die right now.
Don’t Die is the next major global ideology. It’s the operating system humanity needs for building superintelligence while saving ourselves. It’s a political, economic, and social framework. It’s a fight against our self-destructive tendencies and the systems that enable them.
The mission of Don’t Die:
+ Don’t die individually.
+ Don’t kill each other.
+ Don’t destroy the planet.
+ Align AI with Don’t Die.
What does it mean to play Don’t Die?
Over the last four years, I’ve committed to becoming the most “Don’t Die” person in history. Aging is a form of dying—we all do it a little every day. But some things speed it up (smoking, sleep deprivation), and some things slow it down (exercise, proper nutrition).
Working with a team of medical experts, I’ve eliminated everything that accelerates aging and adopted everything that slows it.
The results:
+ My aging speed is 0.57. I age 1 year every 21 months instead of 12.
+ My biomarkers are the best on the planet.
+ I am, by measurable standards, the healthiest person alive.
How? Through a system: prioritizing sleep, daily exercise, optimal nutrition, no smoking or drinking, stress management, and avoiding pollution.
This is the Don’t Die protocol—the most effective one in history, and it’s free for anyone to use.
What I’ve done with my body, we can do with Earth. Right now, we’re failing at sustaining the biosphere. With Don’t Die, we’d apply a similar protocol:
+ Measure the Earth’s health daily.
+ Use science to determine what creates a sustainable biosphere.
+ Implement, refine, repeat.
Don’t Die can extend to every system—schools, governments, businesses.
Imagine scoring school lunches: a slice of pizza, chocolate milk, and canned vegetables might have a “die score” of 3 minutes lost (a cigarette costs 11 minutes). We wouldn’t let kids smoke, yet we feed them death every day.
Politicians could legislate for health and vitality, penalizing industries that accelerate aging and death. Economic policies could prioritize longevity over profit.
Capitalism works because it’s quantifiable. Numbers give it power. Everyone plays it daily, whether they want to or not.
Don’t Die is the same. It’s quantifiable—aging, death, health—all measurable. And it’s universal. Everyone is already playing.
Agree to these principles and join Don’t Die:
0. We are at war with death and its causes,
1. building towards an infinite horizon,
2. fighting for the freedom to exist as long as one chooses.
3. why? because we have things to do tomorrow
4. rage, rage against the dying of the light
5. become a practitioner of the don’t die ethos,
6. honor existence as the highest virtue.
7. don’t die individually
8. don’t kill each other
9. don’t destroy the planet
10. align AI with don’t die
