just because he has passion and conviction about a cause linked to leaving a legacy doesn't mean it follows any... cultishness.

I myself am a bit of an exobrainian but not as well organized or anywh near as far down the part as Karl is. it's a noble cause to not want to dismiss what never was capturable before; conversations between friends and family that we can harvest, replay, or add as a chatbot to have shell versions of deceased loved ones.

I didn't mean "religious" in the bad sense. We all have some topic that incites that part of our brain and makes us hold long speeches about our ideals. On a more positive level, it also gives us the determination to actually follow through with those ideals. His "itch" seems to be gathering data.

If one gathers data for no other reason than it's useful, you don't randomly start talking about the difference between man and animal or how all turns to wind. Those are more biblical sentences.
