- Homo Deus –– Yuval Harari
- [[Dataism]] collapses the barrier between animals and machines, and expects electronic algorithms to eventually decipher and outperform biochemical algorithms.
- It gives all scientists a common language, builds bridges over academic rifts and easily reports insights across disciplinary borders. This idea is extremely attractive to most.
- However, it also believes that humans can no longer cope with the immense flow of data, hence they cannot distill data into information, let alone into knowledge or wisdom. The work of processing this data should be entrusted with algorithms instead.

- Homo Deus –– Yuval Harari
- As we move into [[Dataism]], one by one, we see our subjective decisions into objective/data driven decisions - you'd probably start going with the data more and more.
- As the global data-processing system becomes all knowing and all powerful, so connecting the system becomes the source of all meaning.
- By equating the human experience with data patterns, [[Dataism]] undermines our main source of authority and meaning and heralds a tremendous religious revolution, the likes of which has not been seen since the 18th century.
- What's the point of doing or experiencing anything if nobody knows about it, and if it doesn't contribute something to the global exchange of information?

- Made You Think –– Homo Deus
- [[Dataism]], the new religion.
- Data and algorithms will be the supreme force and we will trust them as the new Bible. "Dataism declares that the universe consists of data flows, and the value of any phenomenon or entity is determined by its contribution to data processing."
- Is this a change we want in the world?
- Liberalism is completely challenged by Life Sciences. 3 points: I'm an individual, I have a single essence, my self is completely free.
- Life Science says we are just a set of bits dominated by algorithms. They are not free, but shaped by algorithms, and therefore more advanced algorithms can know you better than yourself.
- The tech sector seems to be unattached to the emotional consequences of the things they are arguing for.
- What do we care about more, the objective truth data reality or the subjective experiences of individuals? How much of the objective truth can we even allow ourselves to see, if everything is [[Maya and the concept of perception]]?
- How dataism is really a religion, and the way people truly believe in it as if "God"
- So much of Sapiens is how we are capable of so many contradictions - one person could believe in God and Liberalism at the same time.
- Are emotions the result of data processing in the background? Your brain is probably compiling data and processing it subconsciously and outputting as a feeling or emotion. Dataism is this process outwards and conscious, and therefore, might seem more trustworthy.
- Memory vs Data points - sometimes memory can be more superior than valuing just data.
- As we move into [[Dataism]], one by one, we see our subjective decisions into objective/data driven decisions - you'd probably start going with the data more and more.
- It's more of a mental framework, when you're dropping one for a better one.

- Sum: Forty Tales From The Afterlives –– David Eagleman
- [[Dataism]] But we also come to understand that the network of numbers is so dense that it transcends simple notions of cause and effect. We become open to the wisdom of the flow of the patterns.
- The secret codes of life - whether presented as a gift or a burden - go totally unappreciated.
- You think: this is totally deterministic, is love simply an operation of math?
- The Rewarders originally thought to offer it as a gift, but the Punishers quickly decided they could leverage it as a kind of affliction, drying up life's pleasures by revealing their bloodlessly mechanical nature.
- The Rewarder and the Punisher skulk off, struggling to understand why knowing the code behind the wine does not diminish its pleasure on your tongue, why knowing the incapability of heartache does not reduce its sting, why glimpsing the mechanics of love does not alter its intoxicating appeal.
- Being let into the secrets behind the scenes has little effect on our experience.
