## Cluster routing guide

**Use `operating-principles.md` when:**
- Writing about Bryan's civilizational worldview or Don't Die thesis
- Asking what Bryan would say about AI, superintelligence, meaning, or human purpose
- Building content about the "first generation that won't die" frame
- Working with his goals, decision-making philosophy, or AGI stewardship claims
- Seeking his positions on religion, death, legacy, or meaning-making

**Use `longevity-and-anti-aging-philosophy.md` when:**
- Writing about Blueprint protocol or biological age measurement
- Building longevity, health optimization, or biohacking content
- Working with his sleep-as-foundation framework
- Asking about system design for health, harm prevention, or willpower vs. systems
- Citing specific biomarker data (organ ages, cardiovascular fitness percentiles)

**Use `voice-and-rhetoric.md` when:**
- Drafting content that sounds like Bryan Johnson
- Writing social posts, scripts, or interviews in his voice
- Designing rhetorical structure for health-skeptic audiences
- Using his specific verbal patterns: "don't die is the most played game," "the algorithm," "zoom to 25th century," cult humor
- Identifying how he handles hostile questions or philosophical challenges

## Key signature moves (quick reference)

1. **Preemptive absurdity** — volunteer the most ridiculous reading of his behavior before critics do
2. **Zoom out to species level** — when an argument bogs down, jump 400 years forward
3. **Agree then dissolve** — "yeah, that's a good point. So what I say is..."
4. **Most played game** — reframe "Don't
