— Yuval Noah Harari

10. “The Useless Class The most important question in twenty-first-century economics may well be what to do with all the superfluous people. What will conscious humans do once we have highly intelligent non-conscious algorithms that can do almost everything better?”

— Yuval Noah Harari

11. “Humans were always far better at inventing tools than using them wisely.”

— Yuval Noah Harari

12. “Money, social status, plastic surgery, beautiful houses, powerful positions – none of these will bring you happiness. Lasting happiness comes only from serotonin, dopamine and oxytocin.1.”

— Yuval Noah Harari

14. “This is the paradox of historical knowledge. Knowledge that does not change behaviour is useless. But knowledge that changes behaviour quickly loses its relevance. The more data we have and the better we understand history, the faster history alters its course, and the faster our knowledge becomes outdated.”

— Yuval Noah Harari

23. “Technology isn’t bad. If you know what you want in life, technology can help you get it.

Especially as technology gets better at understanding humans, you might increasingly find yourself serving it, instead of it serving you.”

— Yuval Noah Harari

— Yuval Noah Harari

39. “One of history’s few iron laws is that luxuries tend to become necessities and to spawn new obligations. Once people get used to a certain luxury, they take it for granted. Then they begin to count on it. Finally they reach a point where they can’t live without it.”

— Yuval Noah Harari

40. “Ever since the Cognitive Revolution, Sapiens have thus been living in a dual reality. On the one hand, the objective reality of rivers, trees and lions; and on the other hand, the imagined reality of gods, nations and corporations. As time went by, the imagined reality became ever more powerful, so that today the very survival of rivers, trees and lions depends on the grace of imagined entities such as the United States and Google.”

— Yuval Noah Harari

41. “One of the greatest fictions of all is to deny the complexity of the world and think in absolute terms:.”

— Yuval Noah Harari

42. “It takes a tribe to raise a human.”

— Yuval Noah Harari

43. “Traditionally, life has been divided into two main parts: a period of learning followed by a period of working. Very soon this traditional model will become utterly obsolete, and the only way for humans to stay in the game will be to keep learning throughout their lives, and to reinvent themselves repeatedly. Many if not most humans may be unable to do so.”

— Yuval Noah Harari

44. “In medieval Europe, aristocrats spent their money carelessly on extravagant luxuries, whereas peasants lived frugally, minding every penny. Today, the tables have turned. The rich take great care managing their assets and investments, while the less well-heeled go into debt buying cars and.”

45. “But the best thing fire did was cook. Foods that humans cannot digest in their natural forms – such as wheat, rice and potatoes – became staples of our diet thanks to cooking.

Humans also had a far easier time chewing and digesting old favourites such as fruits, nuts, insects and carrion if they were cooked.”

— Yuval Noah Harari

— Yuval Noah Harari
