The Intersection of Humanism and Technology

Greg Epstein serves as the humanist chaplain at prestigious institutions like Harvard and MIT, exploring profound existential questions from a secular perspective. His role is to help individuals discern their values and navigate life's meaning while promoting human connection without reliance on traditional religious frameworks. Through his experiences, he became increasingly aware that technology is influencing people's lives to a religious extent, with technologists posited as modern prophets guiding society's values. This recognition set the stage for his book, 'Tech Agnostic,' which delves into how technology has evolved into a dominant societal force akin to organized religion and the implications of this shift.
