End of Part 1.
I can see Harari is pretty pleased about the fact that his ancestors managed to survive. Hunter-gatherers were serial killers that drove innumerable species out of existence because they decided to survive instead of just dying. Let's see if humans are less culpable after the Agricultural Revolution. On to part 2.

Ch. 2: No distinction drawn between conceptual knowledge (nation, LLC, human rights) and fantasy (gods, pink unicorns). Both clubbed into the category of fiction or "imagined reality." Distinction against lie is that people believe this - but belief is not the distinction between reality and unreality. Curious if this makes a difference later.
