humanist belief on ethical, economy, education, etc. is revolving around our inner feelings

modernism and the price we have to pay. of course, capitalism and its huge role!

this part i was reading is interesting. talked about how writings could change a civilization, fiction brought society together, religion vs science, real talk about how one civilization can work through cooperation and shared the same idea/goal.

p.s. just strengthen your faith when reading this part of the book lol

i love it whet it started to talk about how civilization could worked and comparing the old civilization to the present civilization and how they’re are actually similar but with different kinds/things. i learned that sometimes algorithm of the world is just the same from time to time it’s fascinating 😮

they’re talking about human soul and mind and what differentiates human and animals. do animals have subjective consciousness like human? oh lord its so fun

- the pursuit of happiness
- biological and expectation
- we just crave for more hence, slow down or manipulate our mind with prescription
- divinity
- bioengineering, cyber/cyborg(?) engineering, ??
- homo sapiens might evolve to something else
- the world is advancing and we cant slow down

- famine, plague, war
- the # of people died bc of obesity>the # of people died bc of hunger
- plague are now controllable thanks to science but on the other hand it spreads faster due to transportation now
- no longer on the law of jungle and cekhovs’s gun law shits
- the old peace ≠ the new peace
- terrorism is kinda just mind games(?)
