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 push humans toward obsolescence.
Having conquered the historic threats of famine, plague, and war, humanity is setting a new agenda focused on pursuing immortality, bliss, and godlike powers by upgrading humans.
The coming revolution relies on the premise that organisms are essentially biochemical algorithms, meaning that human feelings and choices are increasingly interpreted as deterministic processes rather than expressions of profound free will.
Humanism relies on the authority of human emotion and individual choice, but as algorithms become increasingly superior at pattern recognition, more authority may shift from human intuition to non-conscious data networks.
