Theology
Theology is the study of God and may serve as a foundation for understanding superintelligence, paralleling how ancient practices like astrology evolved into modern sciences. It offers a rich repository of contemplation on supreme intelligence that could inform the development of a future science dedicated to superintelligent entities. By revisiting theological discourse, we can uncover insights into the ethical and existential challenges posed by superintelligence. This approach suggests merging historical wisdom with contemporary technological exploration to navigate the complexities of an emerging superintelligent future responsibly.
