Summary
Billionaire entrepreneur Bryan Johnson aims to establish a new religion called ‘Don’t Die’ to help people live longer and ensure the safe development of artificial intelligence (AI).
Johnson, a 47-year-old self-made millionaire, who has spent millions on attempting to slow the aging process, said humans must embrace this new religion to ensure AI is aligned with preserving human existence.
He argues that without AI, he would not be spending time and money on his anti-death activities.
Johnson, who was raised as a Mormon but is no longer affiliated with the church, said his new religion is not God-centric, but rather embraces the body as God, and aims to help people deepen friendships and support each other in healthy practices.
He aims to make ‘Don’t Die’ the world’s most influential ideology in the next 18 months.
