🚩Books You must read before you die.🚩
1. After publishing Sapiens and Homo Deus, NYH came out with his third book namely, 21 Lessons for 21st century. The book consists of five parts, each having four or five essays. In 21 Lessons, he attempts to provide clarity on technological, political, social, and existential confusions of humanity. Some important lessons from this book are here.
2. The world we live in is flooded with immense ammounts of irrelevant information, that creates immense chaos, thus, maintaining clarity is very important.
3. If you are too busy or lazy to debate about 'Your' future, the decisions will be made for you, by others, whether you may like them or not.
4. All humans do not think about issues like global warming or the crisis of liberal democracy, because they either do not have the time or the intellect to do so.
5. Book's lessons, do not conclude with simple answers but aim to stimulate the reader to think,and help him/her further participate in the discussions of our time, specially about what is actually happening in the world today, and what is the deep meaning of events?
6. Yuval looks at the globalized world as a spiderweb in which every person is ensnared, where although any movement of each one is limited but each one of us, can influence the web or the globe, with our little movement.
7. Because of this, the humans of 21st century will have to drop all religions and political ideology or so to say biases, which are in any case nothing more than stories, told and retold. Our racial and gender privileges, ourGods, are all myths, or in Yuval's words, nothing more than some fake news. We shall have to give up our unwitting complicity in institutionalised oppression of one at the hands of another.
8. Revolutions in information technology and biotechnology will create predicaments like large scale unemployment, which is going to be the biggest political predicament. Big Data algorithms will neccessiate majority of tasks to be taken over by Artificial Intelligence, making most of the humanity redundant, resulting in social, economic and political crises. Sociologists, politicians and historians will fail to point out what precisely has gone wrong. The political disagreements shall be intense.
9. The biggest challenge of 21st century for humans is going to be, understanding complex global developments, and then be able distinguish right from wrong, and thus stay capable of being in control of a very complex and complicated world, made complex by us alone.
10. We are soon going to enter an age of bewilderment, where all the old stories, all old concepts like religion, nation etc, would collapse. Although we still do not have a new story to replace the old ones, but the time for scraping all old and obselete concepts is here. In my opinion although, the new stories have already been told by likes of Krishna Murti, Osho, and Satya Narayan Goenka, and still newer ones are being told by likes of Yuval Harari himself, but their tales are yet to get a full mouthed bite at humanity.
11. The future belongs to Super Strategic Thinkers, as machines shall take care of all complex performance algorithms. Task overseers and supervising level engineers, teachers professors and surgeons, shopkeepers, cops, soldiers, pilots, farmers, drivers, chefs, and many more are certainly going to be replaced by intelligent machines capable of handling very very complex algorithms. May be, the Homo Deus of tomorrow will ensure a mass scale eviction of redundant homosapiens via silent Killers like COVID-19, genetically designed for selective Pogorams.
