'Stranger Than Heaven': AI Predicts 'Soul Upload Chaos' Could Rewrite Religion By 2035
A new futurist report predicts that by 2035, advancements in mind-uploading technology will force a global schism in world religions, creating a phenomenon dubbed 'Soul Upload Chaos.' This 'stranger than heaven' scenario suggests that over 200 million people will attempt to digitize their consciousness within the next decade, leading to unprecedented legal battles over the definition of the soul. Experts warn that this digital afterlife could trigger a 'Post-Death Economy,' where virtual heavens are subscription-based, amplifying inequality and challenging the very fabric of human mortality.
