“Розповідати ефективні фантазії нелегко. Складність полягає не у власне розповіданні байки, а в тому, щоб переконати в неї повірити. Більша частина світової історії обертається саме навколо цього питання: як переконати мільйони людей повірити в конкретні розповіді про богів, нації або товариства з обмеженою відповідальністю? А проте коли це вдається, величезна влада дозволяє мільйонам чужих людей співпрацювати та рухатися до спільної мети.”
― Yuval Noah Harari, Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind
