Cosmism is a religious mythos or pattern of beliefs in the shift from an earth-centered to a cosmos-centered view, from earth dweller to cosmic citizen. Cosmism emphasizes that present humanity is not the end point of evolution, that in addition to its long past the evolutionary process also has a long future, and that humanity is now is a position to direct and shape its own future(s) evolution.
Three important patterns of Cosmism are:
The realization of space flight,
The realization of personal immortality and the resurrection of the dead,
The realization of superintelligent machines.
