I think most people underestimate the ecological effect of new media. Whatever the journey looks like, new media produce new kinds of people. When that media is powerfully computational, quantitative, artificial, and possible only at scale, it creates people who are a mirror of those attributes. Some may react, some may conform, but you can't go through it unchanged. This could end well, and I expect that because I trust in God's sovereignty. It's easy to imagine many bad outcomes. Only God (or deluded transhumans) can imagine plausible good ones, I think.
