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

Yuval Noah Harari
“As we have seen again and again throughout history, in a completely free information fight, truth tends to lose. To tilt the balance in favour of truth, networks must develop and maintain strong self-correcting mechanisms that reward truth telling. These self-correcting mechanisms are costly, but if you want to get the truth, you must invest in them.”
Yuval Noah Harari, Nexus: A Brief History of Information Networks from the Stone Age to AI

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

“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
