Here are two exciting books I am finishing now. Quite unorthodox. Written by a historian Yuval Harari. Highly recommend!
Some of my favorite quotes from Homo Deus:
“History isn’t a single narrative, but thousands of alternative narratives. Whenever we choose to tell one, we are also choosing to silence others.”
“The greatest scientific discovery was the discovery of ignorance. Once humans realised how little they knew about the world, they suddenly had a very good reason to seek new knowledge, which opened up the scientific road to progress.”
Some of my favorite quotes from the 21 lessons:
“If you cannot afford to waste time, you will never find the truth.”
“The very sophisticated artificial intelligence of computers might only serve to empower the natural stupidity of humans.”
By manufacturing a never-ending stream of crises, a corrupt oligarchy can prolong its rule indefinitely.”
