Maybe not as an individual, but as a society or as a species, there are few absolutes for us to pursue. History and Math are the only absolutes we really have.

What I'm meaning to say is its a righteous goal compared to pursuing art or literature, because it's universal in nature.

I think Turing will be remembered as one of the few people who changed the course of human thought in its entirety.

I understand what you're saying, and sure, my goal right now this weekend is to get some plane tickets and an airbnb booked, there's no computing mysticism there.

But as a whole, I think we humans have an objective to find four the most information possible and to do the most computing as possible. That's essentially what the singularity is about, a human creation coming to a point of autonomy. That's the next step for humans, I think, abandoning flesh and spreading autonomous machines throughout the cosmos.

I guess it IS my religion.
