Anti-aging millionaire Bryan Johnson unveils "Don't Die" religion to save humanity
text_fieldsRenowned anti-aging advocate and tech entrepreneur Bryan Johnson has announced his latest ambitious project: the creation of a new ideology called "Don't Die".
In a series of posts on X, Johnson revealed that this framework aims to ensure human survival, align artificial intelligence (AI) with humanity's best interests, and potentially redefine the future of existence.
"Don't Die is the next great framework," he wrote. "It’s how we transition into the era of AI and solve the problem of death." Alongside this ideology, Johnson also introduced a new app, encouraging people to join the movement and strive to become individuals who will be "admired and respected" in the 25th century.
Johnson boldly declared, "I am building a religion." Anticipating skepticism, he urged people to set aside their initial reactions and consider his vision.
According to him, "Don't Die" will become the fastest-growing ideology in history, saving the human race and ushering in an existence beyond imagination.
He explained that humanity is currently experiencing four fundamental shifts - the emergence of superintelligent AI, the lack of existing ideologies to align with AI, the uncertainty of human survival in an AI-dominated world, and the potential to eliminate biological death.
Without a unifying framework, Johnson believes both human civilisation and AI could be at risk. He presents "Don't Die" as a universal translator - a grand unifying theory that bridges the gap between human and AI alignment.
For Johnson, "Don't Die" is not just a theory - it’s a lifestyle. He has dedicated his life to slowing down aging, implementing a highly disciplined routine that includes strict sleep schedules, daily exercise and nutritious eating habits, continuous organ monitoring and improvement, eliminating toxins and managing stress, and prioritising time with family and friends.
As a result, he claims to have the slowest recorded aging speed in history, proving that science, data, and structured protocols can optimise human longevity.
Johnson insists that now is the time to act. He recalled a thought experiment in which he imagined interacting with people from the 25th century, who viewed "Don't Die" as the framework that saved humanity and successfully merged it with AI.
To turn this vision into reality, he has invited people to download the "Don't Die" app, track their "Don't Die Score," and build local communities around the movement.
While some social media users expressed enthusiasm, others were skeptical of calling it a "religion." One user suggested, "It’s a mistake to call it a religion - most people already have one. Better to call it a movement or ideology."
Meanwhile, others were eager to get involved. "I’m so excited! I’m planning hikes, meetups, and runs for 'Don't Die' Michigan this summer!" shared another user.
