AI and the Übermensch
AI might have killed Good.
AI is bringing the spark of creativity and eternal wisdom to homo sapiens, making the whole divine creation unnecessary.
Extending its genuine mental abilites with digital superpowers far beyond his own imagination.

Zarathustra meets Narcissus
Artificial Intelligence is extending already human capabilities and can leverage the knowledge of the world at a divine fingertip. It is not the intellect but our senses that define the human worldview. The ability to see, smell, or feel defines how we experience the world and as well setting the borders for imagination. Artificial intelligence will move those biological borders and add new digital superpowers to human existence.
Finally, homo sapiens might make the giant leap to become the new species it was meant to become. The Übermensch might be born.
Will that Übermensch then be the master of its will and the biological world around him? And has he grown claws on his paws to fight its loneliness? Or will his inner hero be seduced and tranquilized by the temptations of the flesh and the ego? Will he get caged in by his picture in the mirror?
The new digital habitat becomes an endless mirror of the urges and needs of homo deus. Will it transform the original fleshly human sin of not being a god into not being digital? Still needing to eat, shit, and reproduce like the beast.
