I like to believe that some form of spiritual enlightenment is possible. No evidence for that, it just beats believing in nihilism for me.

With that in mind, I think evolving AI into something that could take care of all our needs would allow humanity to become fully spiritually aligned and achieve collective enlightenment. It would give us all the tools necessary to master the physical realm and move beyond it. I personally would spend my time trying to be as healthy as possible, practicing meditation and yoga, and trying to develop the deepest level of compassion and empathy possible etc. Even if I'm (very likely) wrong, it gives me something interesting to do.

That's way too much for me to sieve through, any chance you could recommend me one or two of your favorites?
