Then you have the technologists like Ray Kurzweil, who is the AI visionary at Google.
He believes that we will experience something known as the singularity.
And the singularity is the moment at which the technology becomes so advanced that we merge with it.
At some point in the future, and it's always 10 years in the future.
It doesn't matter if he said this 15 years ago.
It was supposed to be five years ago.
He said it last year.
It's going to be in another 10 years, right?
But in those years, that's when it's going to happen when we will merge with technology.
And at that point, we will experience technology.
Singularity, everything will come into focus and life afterwards will be mediated and moderated by technology, nanobots, digital DNA, servers that live inside of our brains.
Elon Musk's Neuralink is one of the interfaces that they're hoping is going to be this server that's going to essentially fix anything that goes wrong inside of us.
And that is how we are going to live forever because immortality, that's what's going to happen.
We will die.
naturally become post-human.
And that's the second form of immortality.
A related third form is the sort of the political angle of this, which is rather than just saying, yay, that's going to happen in the future, the transhumanist movement say that not only will this happen, but we have a fundamental right and a responsibility to hack our bodies today.
So that in the future, we will achieve the singularity.
So it must happen.
And it politically must happen.
