Immortal

Immortality was a recurring theme through civilized history. Before Pericles, immortality was granted only to those who died in the glory of war. Pericles introduced the concept that immortality belongs to any person who makes a positive, collaborative contribution to society - as in, being remembered by history for ever for making a positive impact. See Periclean Athens. Today, AI collapsitarians fathom the time of uploading oneself to the internet (this already happened with digital presence), and genetically engineering pain and suffering out of humans. These are dystopias if taken from a spiritual and holistic perspective - substituting the AI savior for purpose, meaning, and responsibility. OSE proposes more collaborative solutions, with AI collaborating with humans, not superimposing itself over humans.
