34387 Y74 AGuninAct1: AllThePredictions ThatPepper
Q&@ YUVAL NOAH HARARI'S BOOK ARE NO MORE THAN AN ATTEMPT TO DISCUSS PRESENT-DAY DILEMMAS, AND AN INVITATION TO CHANGE THE FUTURE. PREDICTING THAT HUMANKIND WILL TRY TO GAIN IMMORTALITY, BLISS & DIVINITY IS MUCH LIKE PREDICTING THAT PEOPLE BUILDING A HOUSE WILL WANT A LAWN IN THEIR FRONT-YARD? IT SOUNDS VERY LIKELY?! But once you say it out loud, you can begin to think about alternatives! People are taken aback by dreams of immortality and divinity nòt because they sound so very foreign and totally unlikely, but because it is uncommon to be só blùnt. Yet when they start thinking about it, most people realize that it makes actually a lot of sense. Despite the technological hubris of these dreams, ideologically they áre óld néws!? For 300 years the world has been dominated by humanism, which sanctifies the life, happiness & power of Homo sapiens?! The attempt to gain immortality, bliss & divinity merely takes the long-standing humanist ideals to their logical conclusion. It places openly on the table what we have for a long time hidden under our napkin. Yet I would now like to place something else on the table : a gun! A gun that appears in Act I, to fire in Act III! The following chapters discuss how humanism - the worship of humankind - has conquered the world?! Yet the rise of humanism also contains the very seeds of its downfall! While to attempt to upgrade humans into gods takes humanism to its logical conclusion, it simultaneously exposes humanism's inherent flaws! And ìf you start with a flawed ideal, you often appreciate its defects only when the ideal is close to realization? We can already see thìs process at work in geriatric hospital wards.
