The 8 main premises are (my full summary in comments below): 

1. Human Ambition: Has changed from surviving famine and war to living longer and happier.

2. Collective Co-operation: This ability to believe stories or narratives has allowed Homo Sapiens to dominate over other hominids and animals possible. 

3. Shared Narratives: Through shared narrative, religion and beliefs allow for moral laws to be upheld.

4. Modernity shaping lives but at what cost to the environment and meaning?

5. Liberal societies are increasing. Liberalism is the dominant form of Humanism.

6. Modern science challenges Liberalism. Biologically humans can be manipulated by external inputs and inherent biases. 

7. Algorithms & Technology ruling Human’s lives. Human neuroscience has been hacked by algorithms for our data and has resulted in the rise of dopamine addiction. 

8. Fighting Algorithms.  ‘Techno humanism’ is when humans merge with tech = Homo Deus.

‘Dataism’ allows for the algorithms to improve on their own without human intervention. 

What happens when the algorithm builds better algorithms than humans? 

Key Question: What happens when algorithms start creating better algorithms than humans?
