![an excerpt from the wikipedia entry for russian philosopher Nikolai Fyodorov
"Philosophy
Fyodorov was a futurist, who theorized about the eventual perfection of the human race and society (i.e., utopia), including radical ideas like immortality, revival of the dead, space and ocean colonization. [citation needed] He was an adamant defender of universalism and wanted universal rather than particular immortality and resurrection through something he called the common task of humanity citation needed He was a strong advocate of ancestor worship and saw people's genealogical and social relationships as reflecting their value and was critical of individualism as making people expendable. He was a strong advocate of religion and saw the Common Task as the proper interpretation of Christianity.
Humankind's Common Task
According to Fyodorov, "the aim of true progress can and must be the participation in a common task." For him, the Common Task meant "to regulate the forces of nature, to defeat death and bring ancestors back to life, so that they too would participate in the general resurrection." This ideas was so central to his philosophy that "whatever topic he wrote about, Fedorov brought in his main idea of the Common Task— how to achieve universal brotherhood, rationalise nature instead of merely exploiting her bounties, overcome death, resurrect the ancestors and create a united humanity worthy of governing the universe.""](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:lyttihqjgplgqxdvw2bw3dnn/bafkreigcee3jwkaxp4tyhkjnf3lkroqycldgxvnapmj6yvvi45kkwvlx4m)
