Today, I’m sharing my conversation with Greg Epstein, American Humanist chaplain at Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and author of the great new book Tech Agnostic: How Technology Became the World’s Most Powerful Religion, and Why It Desperately Needs a Reformation. We discuss:
How tech is becoming a religion, and why it’s connected to our belief that we’re never enough.
How Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos, and Bill Gates are hungry ghosts.
What ‘tech-as-religion’ allows us to see and understand that ‘capitalism-as-religion’ doesn’t.
My concerns with the metaphor and Greg’s thoughtful response.
How we might usher in a tech reformation, and the tech humanists leading the way.
The value of agnosticism and not-knowing when it comes to tech.
Okay, that’s it for now,
Charley
