Oh yes we still have theology. I don't know why. But as long as good books like Scott Alexanders Unsong tell me that American Pie is a song about the old testament, I do get entertainment out of it.

Training your mind to find patterns everywhere can be fun, unless you get QAnon out of it. Or, IMHO, religion that influences states or bothers non-followers. Contrast the good things, though: The aforementioned authors shows in Unsong that "Harry Belafonte - There's a Hole in the Bucket" is actually about the singluarity in AI/AGI development.

http://unsongbook.com/ for the curious:

“Erica,” said Ana calmly, “you’re going about this the wrong way. When Aaron is like this, you can’t argue against him. You have to beat him at his own game.”

“What?”

“For example,” said Ana, “Aaron, I propose that the Chevy does not represent the Tribe of Levi, but rather the Tribe of Issachar.”

“Huh?” I asked. “Why?”

“Because,” she said, with an ethereally beautiful smile, “a Chevy is a car.”

“AAAAARGH!” I said. “AAARGH AAAAARGH AAAARRGH AA – ouch!”
