It's certainly unlikely. Yes. But the idea with a lot of this life extension work or anti-death work that is funded by a lot of people in the tech world, Peter Thiel's invested very heavily in life extension research. And again, there's a soft version of this, which is like, how can we make people live longer? This seems like generally a good idea.

And then there is the more intense version of it, which is develop the post-human. And one of the ways that we become post-humans faster is by getting rid of all those pesky things like sickness and death. There is a very spiritualized version that is dedicated to this idea that some people have the power to

to shape their own reality and shape the reality of those around them and transcend human limitations. And there are other people who don't. And so I think that now these ideas, which have often been sort of fringe or considered heretical or considered just out there, because of the power of the internet to amplify them, are actually becoming incredibly normalized. So we're seeing not just

the popularity of manifestation and the popularity of transhumanism as two discrete phenomena, what we're actually seeing is this overall normalization of the idea that the average person should try to become divine.

I think it's certainly the case that one of the risks is sort of overly putting responsibility on the individual for their outcomes. But I think that another danger is that it stops people from kind of reckoning meaningfully with some of the most important questions that humans have traditionally asked each other and themselves, which is...

What does it mean to be human when being human means we don't have control, when we can't determine when we get sick, when we can't determine what's going to happen to us, that life is inherently mysterious and out of our control? And some people do sort of find traditional religious faith to be one place where this question gets dealt with and grappled with a lot and some answers are provided.
