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

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.
