Seems to me this is more of a religious thing for one such as you than something with objective purpose.

still searching for my earthseed alike principles for sure but i understand the values, the balance at play. obviously based on highly negatively biased votes & comments, but something i feel more concretely, is that this obvious yet occluded truth still needs better means to be focused upon. tbh weird times that there are so few religions that have sprung up and shut down in my lifetime. what days that we have an example, one[1]! tech is all about interlink, embiggening of human spirit & potential, which mirrors so closely the interlink of spiritually & religion & essences of man.

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.
