If God is watching you every minute, caring about all your thoughts and feelings, then Data Religion now says that your every word and action is part of the great dataflow, that the algorithms are constantly watching you and that they care of everything you do and feel. Dataists believe that the experiences do not have any value unless shared and that we cannot find meaning within ourselves without that valuable help by algorithm. We need only record and connect our experiences to the great dataflow, and the algorithm will discover their meaning and tell us what to do, in theory based on Yuval Noah Hararis “Homo Deus”.

In this very personal phase, the most important is You, because the objective is to compress you to one simple unit. Even more so, according to Dataism the toothbrush, the painkiller and a human being using them, are all one substance. That it is possible to analyze the latter mentioned in one formula using different sets of code. If that is so, then us human are just tiny little chips in a vast information processing system. We become biological wires in a row of digital micro-universes. Being then connected to a larger network, we start to resemble the wet dream of every religion – The Oneness, The Unity..

The more we share the bigger is the potential to get to know ourselves. But how can I know that the interpretation of the code is true, can I trust it, can I trust myself.. How to find that place within ourselves and the world around us where the trust can grow..
