Yuval Noah Harari
“Ever since the Cognitive Revolution, Sapiens have thus been living in a dual reality. On the one hand, the objective reality of rivers, trees and lions; and on the other hand, the imagined reality of gods, nations and corporations. As time went by, the imagined reality became ever more powerful, so that today the very survival of rivers, trees and lions depends on the grace of imagined entities such as the United States and Google.”
Yuval Noah Harari

Yuval Noah Harari
“Voltaire said about God that ‘there is no God, but don’t tell that to my servant, lest he murder me at night’. Hammurabi would have said the same about his principle of hierarchy, and Thomas Jefferson about human rights. Homo sapiens has no natural rights, just as spiders, hyenas and chimpanzees have no natural rights. But don’t tell that to our servants, lest they murder us at night.”
Yuval Noah Harari, Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind

Euripides
“Necio es el mortal que, creyéndose siempre feliz, se abandona al placer: la fortuna, cual furiosa delirante, salta aquí y allá, y a ninguno concede perpetua dicha”
Euripides, Las Troyanas

Yuval Noah Harari
“History is something that very few people have been doing while everyone else was ploughing fields and carrying water buckets.”
Yuval Noah Harari, Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind

Fyodor Dostoevsky
“El dolor y el sufrimiento son siempre inevitables para una gran inteligencia y un corazón profundo. Los hombres realmente grandes, creo, tienen una gran tristeza en la tierra.”
Fiódor Dostoievski
