    So, mythical heaven? Religion made of machines. Spirituality from a piece of tech you hope to one day fix everything because of faith. Something that let’s you ignore now and possible futures so you can have a singular one to believe in.

    You do understand the comic. You are just are angry it called your god fiction.

      I’m not sure where all the allusions to religion come from, or why you’re so against a dream of a world where everyone is free from work and most suffering. Trying to fix the world now is admirable, and one way to do that is to work on long term solutions such as working on automation technology.

      It’s not faith to extrapolate that the advances we’ve made in automation so far are likely to extend to eventually almost all forms of work being automated. It’s not faith, because I still admit the possibility that it may not happen. But imagining it happening, wanting it to happen, and trying to work on making it happen seems nothing but positive to me. And it’s still not chauvinism, to refer to the earlier point. Do you still believe that, or have I managed to convince you of that point, at least?

        When I became atheist, I figured “if God doesn’t exist, we’ll have to make heaven ourselves.”

        And I believe we’ll do it, given enough time (probably hundreds/thousands of years).
