🧪 WHAT IS BLUEPRINT?
Like past explorers, I’ve asked an unthinkable question: is death still inevitable or is a new era of longevity here?

After selling my company Braintree Venmo for $800 million, I built a team of dozens of medical professionals, became the most measured person in history, and achieved arguably the best comprehensive biomarkers in the world.

And I share everything with you, for free.

After having poor health habits as a kid, running myself into the ground from 20 years of building companies, and a decade of chronic depression, now, at the chronological age of 46, my biomarkers are in the top 1%.

And not just the top 1% of 46 year olds, but on many markers, such as my cardiovascular fitness, I’m in the top 1% of 18 year olds.

Top 1%: Speed of aging
Top 1%: Muscle mass & function
Top 1%: Fat mass
Top 1%: Inflammation
Top 1%: Cardiovascular
Top 1%: Bone mass
Top 1%: Sleep
Top 1%: Combined clinical markers
Top 1%: Nighttime erections

Blueprint is an algorithm, built by science, that takes better care of me than I can myself.

Mindsip insights from this episode:

Measure biological age to reverse aging effects

Project Blueprint's method is to measure the biological age of every organ and then use the best science to slow the speed of aging and reverse the damage.

Build a network state to advance 'Don't Die' initiatives

A 'network state' is being built to gather people with the common objective of working on 'Don't Die' initiatives across all domains of society.

Play 'Don't Die' for universal agreement on life

'Don't Die' is the most played game on the planet—more than capitalism or any religion—and is the one thing every human can agree upon.

Envision a future where death is no longer inevitable

The 25th century might be telling us that, for the first time in human history, death may no longer be inevitable.

Engage with 'Don't Die' app to lower your die score

A 'Don't Die' app is being launched that will be social-first and gamified with points to encourage community members to lower their 'die scores'.

Confront existence with 'Don't Die' for transformative change

The phrase 'Don't Die' forces you to reconcile with your entire existence, unlike positive phrases like 'live long' which everyone agrees with without changing behavior.
