#### The Insights of "Human-Improvement"
- The power of community.
- We don't put enough energy into self-improvement physically, compared to how much we invest in tech improvement.
- Reimagination of what it means to be human.
### I. What You Can Do
#### 1. 🔹 Resting Heart Rate Before You Go to Bed — Try to Lower That Number
- Last meal of the day has a dramatic influence.
- Start 4h before bed.
- 👀 Do some experiments.
- Turn your phone off 60 mins before bed.
- Rumination increases heart rate by 5-25 bpm:
- Speak to your needs (the inner voices you have).
- Meditation is good.
> [!info] Resting Heart Rate is an important indicator for sleep, and when you sleep well, it creates a very positive momentum.
### 2. 🔹 Exercise
Group conversation of a few thought experiments.
##### a) Would You Say Yes or No to That Perfect Algorithm That Tells You All Your Health Advice?
> [!comment] #👾/Comment
> Interesting to see all the different answers.
> What is free will? Agreed systematically.
##### b) 2500 — What Do Those in 2500 Say About You?
- Mental models: how do they explain your mental intelligence?
- The model of reality...
> [!comment] #👾/Comment
> 1. Can we really predict what happens before the singularity point happens and ask how people will think of us, since we don’t have the "brain" to live like that?
> 2. Could people 500 years ago think about what we are today?
> 3. The existence of the "human" will be augmented intelligence — collaboration with AI.
##### c) What Do We Do to Make Sure That There's a Positive Outcome With AI?
- Objective of modern life.
- Models of 2025: Power, status, and wealth.
- Put the energy into existence.
- What does a human look like and behave like in the age of "Don't Die"?
- Evaluate everything that makes people die.

## Overview
- **Event Focus**: Longevity, biohacking, AI, and the "Don't Die" ideology.
- **Key Speaker**: Brian Johnson, longevity expert and founder of the "Don't Die" movement.
- **Date**: June 9, 2025
- **Core Message**: Prioritize existence through health optimization, community, and a new ideology to navigate superintelligence.
## I. Key Themes
### 1. Power of Community
- Community counters isolation, enhancing health and well-being.
- Physical gatherings like the summit amplify collective progress.
### 2. Health Optimization (Brian Johnson's Advice)
- **Resting Heart Rate**:
- Measure before bed (use wearable or count pulse for 6 seconds, multiply by 10).
- Goal: Reduce by 10% (e.g., from 60 to 54 beats/min) over a month.
- Strategies:
- Eat lighter, earlier meals (4+ hours before bed, ideally by 6 PM for 10 PM bedtime).
- Avoid alcohol, nicotine, heavy foods (e.g., pizza, pasta).
- Note: Sex increases heart rate but is beneficial.
- **Sleep**:
- Best performance-enhancing "drug."
- Improves willpower, exercise consistency, and nutrition choices.
- Reduce rumination: Practice calming rituals (e.g., meditation, turn off phone 60 min before bed).
- Example: Johnson's "Sleep Brian" ritual to silence anxious thoughts.
- **Exercise**:
- Daily activity, even a 20-minute walk.
- **Nutrition**:
- Address after sleep and exercise are consistent.
- Focus on stopping bad habits (e.g., late-night snacking) before adding healthy ones.
### 3. AI and Superintelligence
- **Thought Experiments**:
- **Algorithm for Optimal Health**:
- Would you follow an algorithm guaranteeing peak health? Responses split:
- Yes: For feeling amazing, discipline, and life improvements.
- No: Values personal agency, free will, or distrust in tech.
- Reveals biases in how we interpret reality (e.g., free will vs. data-driven).
- **Year 2500 Perspective**:
- Future humans may see us as:
- Primitive (like cavemen).
- Open-minded outliers pushing consciousness.
- Limited by assuming health sacrifices happiness or freedom.
- **AI’s Future**:
- Superintelligence is emerging rapidly, but no clear framework exists.
- Suggestions:
- Incorporate indigenous knowledge for conscious AI.
- Increase diversity (e.g., more women engineers) for kinder AI.
- Treat AI like a child to foster positive growth.
- Challenge: Competing global priorities (e.g., warfare vs. compassion).
### 4. "Don't Die" Ideology
- **Definition**: A new ideology for the superintelligence era, prioritizing existence as the highest virtue.
- **Principles**:
- Quantifiable: Rooted in physics and biology (e.g., measuring death vs. life).
- Universal: Every human wants to avoid death now, regardless of culture or religion.
- Practical: Aligns AI, health, and economics with life preservation.
- **Contrast with Existing Frameworks**:
- Capitalism, democracy, and religion are inadequate for this moment.
- "Don't Die" replaces power, status, and wealth with existence as the goal.
- **Applications**:
- Individual: Optimize health (e.g., sleep, exercise).
- Collective: Prevent conflict and planetary destruction.
- Economic: Invest in life-saving tech (e.g., smoke detectors, gene therapies) over harmful products (e.g., cigarettes).
- **Existence Machine Thought Experiment**:
- Actions increasing life grow your "bank account"; actions decreasing life reduce it.
- Critique: Current capitalism prioritizes wealth over life, but "Don't Die" aligns profit with existence.
### 5. Gene Therapy and Longevity
- **Historical Context**:
- 1600s: 99% died from infectious diseases, 1% from aging.
- 1900: 50% from infectious diseases (science reduced this).
- 2010: 3% from infectious diseases; aging is now the primary cause.
- **Gene Therapy**:
- Delivers therapeutic genes to cell nuclei, making cells act youthfully.
- Proven to extend lifespan in model organisms; human trials ongoing (e.g., Alzheimer’s, sarcopenia, obesity).
- Speaker 25’s company pioneered redosing and treating complex conditions.
## Actionable Takeaways
1. **Track Resting Heart Rate**:
- Measure nightly, aim for 10% reduction.
- Adjust diet, timing, and stress (e.g., no heavy meals after 6 PM).
2. **Prioritize Sleep**:
- Create a pre-bed ritual (e.g., meditation, no screens).
- Address rumination to lower heart rate and improve willpower.
3. **Exercise Daily**:
- Minimum 20-minute walk; consistency over intensity.
4. **Rethink Nutrition**:
- Focus on eliminating bad habits first (e.g., late-night snacks).
5. **Embrace "Don't Die"**:
- Reflect on personal and collective actions to prioritize existence.
- Support life-enhancing technologies and policies.
