Yuval Noah Harari
“History isn’t the study of the past; it is the study of change. History teaches us what remains the same, what changes, and how things change.”
Yuval Noah Harari, Nexus: A Brief History of Information Networks from the Stone Age to AI

Yuval Noah Harari
“The increasing unfathomability of our information network is one of the reasons for the recent wave of populist parties and charismatic leaders. When people can no longer make sense of the world, and when they feel overwhelmed by immense amounts of information they cannot digest, they become easy prey for conspiracy theories, and they turn for salvation to something they do understand—a human.”
Yuval Noah Harari, Nexus: A Brief History of Information Networks from the Stone Age to AI

Yuval Noah Harari
“The tendency to create powerful things with unintended consequences started not with the invention of the steam engine or AI but with the invention of religion. Prophets and theologians have summoned powerful spirits that were supposed to bring love and joy but occasionally ended up flooding the world with blood.”
Yuval Noah Harari, Nexus: A Brief History of Information Networks from the Stone Age to AI

“An uncanny economy has emerged in which a secure, middle-class lifestyle receded for many, but the material trappings of middle-class success became affordable to most. In the 1960s, it was possible to attend a four-year college debt-free but impossible to purchase a flat-screen television. By the 2020s, the reality was close to the reverse.”
Ezra Klein, Abundance
