🧪 WHAT IS BLUEPRINT
Hi friends - I’m the world’s most measured human.
At 46, my cardiovascular fitness ranks in the top 1.5% of 18 year olds; I celebrate my birthday every 19 months because we’ve dramatically slowed my speed of aging, and in 2023 I achieved the world’s best recorded sleep score, 8 months of 100% perfect sleep.
This is remarkable because previously, my health was in a pretty bad place.
In 2020, I started Project Blueprint to help you achieve similar results. I share everything I do and learn for free, so you can access the best health science available.
Project Blueprint and Don’t Die celebrate that we, humanity, are evolving into something new. Join me on this journey.
Before this, I built a company, Braintree Venmo, and sold it for $800 million. I’ve since invested $100M into science-based companies building drugs, biology and materials that make humans and earth healthier and happier. I’ve also written a few books including Don’t Die Dialogues, We the People, Zeroism, Code 7 and The Proto Project.

Mindsip insights from this episode:
Let an algorithm dictate your food and sleep choices
In the Blueprint protocol, your mind does not have the authority to make decisions about food or sleep; an algorithm based on your body's data does.
Acknowledge powerlessness to confront self-destructive behaviors
We are fundamentally powerless to stop all of our self-destructive behaviors and create convenient stories to justify them.
Question your conscious mind to safeguard long-term interests
The speaker admits he does not trust his own conscious mind to act in his best long-term interests, especially when faced with temptation.
Accelerate adaptation to reality-bending insights from AI
Artificial Intelligence is a 'zero manufacturer' that will generate reality-bending insights so quickly that we must accelerate our ability to adapt.
Embrace 'not knowing' for future intelligence
In a rapidly changing future, the most important form of intelligence is a new one called 'not knowing,' also known as future literacy.
Empower Earth's biosphere to self-manage pollution standards
We should empower the Earth's biosphere to manage its own well-being by setting its own standards for pollution, just as Blueprint does for the body.
Pursue life with passion, not fear of death
The motivation for Blueprint is not a fear of death but a profound desire to want to live, born from a past of chronic depression.
Play 'Don't Die' to embrace existence as highest virtue
The ultimate game to play is called 'Don't Die,' because existence itself is the highest virtue.
