Challenge the notion of inevitable decay and decline
We should challenge the assumption that decay and decline are inevitable parts of life, as technology may soon allow us to overcome them.
Simplify humanity's tasks: prioritize life and align AI for survival
The most important tasks for humanity can be simplified to: don't die, don't kill each other, and align AI with the goal of 'don't die'.
Ask three questions to enhance decision-making
To make better life decisions, ask: What must remain true for this to be true, what new thing would make this untrue, and what surprise would change the question?.
Rethink future predictions in the age of computational intelligence
For the first time in history, we cannot use the past to model our lives or make future predictions due to the disruptive nature of computational intelligence.
Embrace algorithmic living for enhanced well-being

Align 35 trillion cells for optimal health and longevity
The Blueprint program treats the body as a collection of 35 trillion cells and attempts to align all of them toward the single objective of continued existence.
Evolve into a beta version of future human through self-improvement
By trying to improve himself at the speed that technology improves, the speaker is demonstrating a beta version of a future human.
