Nice article. A couple thoughts.

I study human survival by genetic and strategic adaptation. Cutting decades of work to a few lines, the most important moral statement supporting future human survival and development, as well as civilization, our life support system, is "love one another". It can be counterintuitive though. I could go on.

There is this big problem humanity faces. We are adapted to an older world, the hunter-gatherer tribal world, but we exist in a technological civilization. It is difficult for us to adapt to that great difference. Some people think we exist in a virtual reality and smart people note the similarity of heaven to a virtual reality. Consider that in the future, it will be more and more difficult to adapt our nature, adapted to an older world, to the world we exist in. In the future, the difference could be so great and the required adaptation is so large that it is almost impossible. What if humans today are children of what humans will be in the fairly far future (very advanced technology, knowledge, philosophy), put in a virtual reality that is the time in human history that is the greatest bridge between our past and our technological future. This is a very unusual, unique time in human development.

Is it a school to learn about where we came from and an introduction to the technology dominating the future. The future is going to be challenging with many unusual dangers. Drugs are a good example. This is a unique time to learn many lessons whne the dangers are not overwhelming. It is a great time to learn moral lessons that may not be so obvious in the future.

There may be many moral messages for us to learn and even famous messengers. If we do not learn our lesson here, we aren't going to be woken into the human future we were born in (heaven). All societies in the past have had "rites of passage", when a young adult is accepted into the society. It is the only way the society can protect itself.

Just a thought for you. It seems to make sense to me.
