Johnson's vision for 'Don't Die'
Johnson envisions "Don't Die" as a rapidly expanding ideology that will shape the future in a major way.
He believes it could "save the human race" and create an existence "more spectacular than we can imagine."
The tech millionaire argues our world is experiencing four fundamental shifts: the emergence of AI-driven superintelligence, the lack of existing ideologies that address AI alignment, the uncertainty of humanity's survival in the AI era, and the possibility of overcoming biological death.
