Yuval Noah Harari
Having largely overcome famine, plague, and war, humanity is now pursuing immortality, endless happiness, and godlike powers, but this quest may ultimately render the human species obsolete.
Having conquered the historic threats of famine, plague, and war, humanity is setting a new agenda focused on upgrading humans into gods through the pursuit of immortality, bliss, and supreme power.
The impending revolution relies on the premise that organisms are essentially biochemical algorithms, meaning that human feelings and choices are deterministic processes rather than expressions of profound free will.
Humanism relies on the unquestioned authority of human emotion and individual choice, but as algorithms become vastly superior at pattern recognition, this authority will inevitably shift from human intuition to non-conscious data networks.
