(Audiobook)

Chapter 16: ‘ermmm, guys? Unbridled free-market capitalism might actually be …….. kinda bad 😬😬😬. Then again, communism is a million times worse [no explanation given]’

*RED FLASHING WARNING LIGHT* Yuval Noah Harari has just called the Nazis humanists

SAPIENS UPDATE: Yuval Noah Harari implies that Christian saints and polytheistic deities are basically the same thing because they, uhhh, do specific stuff and, ummm, people pray to them and stuff

‘Yeah so umm uhh so get this, right, so umm - from an evolutionary biological perspective, human rights are like total made up! This can be proven because monkeys don’t have an innate urge to holiday in Paris’ - Yuval Noah Harari

Listening to this as an audiobook for some white noise to walk around and go to sleep to. Will update progress as audiobook goes on, but long story short: this book is a patronising piece of drivel because it’s based on a ridiculous premise.

I am struggling to get into a rhythm with Murdoch’s ‘The Bell’ so am switching to this for the time being because it’s short. I very much enjoyed the first ten pages and am excited for the rest of the book.

Chapter 3

Read the Apology - last three pages slapped

Chapters 1-2

Read the Euthyphro - Socrates is so insufferably annoying lmao

Read the Crito, nice easy breezy Socratic dialogue
