Holy Scriptures are the prominent in this context. The written word has started to become a self-fulfilling prophecy. The powerful governments decide upon just how they would like to judge a certain subject and that is just how the subject would be judged till the written word exists in that particular form, for it is true that powerful entities modify the written word for the sake of better control. Holy Scriptures from different religions around the world are hence an issue because they allow some to get all the power and some to lose all of theirs and this creates a vicious cycle of losses.

Religion in this sense becomes a rigid manual for a human as he/she tries to live a life that won’t lead them to eternal hell.

The cure to a life without meaning and law has been offered by humanism, a dogma that has revolutionized and taken control of the planet in the course of the past centuries.

In the current century, humans will attempt to acquire a divine, blissful and immortal state. However, this will shake the foundations of liberal humanism.

These processes spawn three core questions. The first asks whether organisms are just algorithms and whether life is just data processing in actuality. The second queries which of consciousness and intelligence has more value. The third inquires what will become of day-to-day existence, politics and society when non-conscious but extremely intelligent algorithms have more knowledge of us than we have of ourselves.
