If Sapiens were a blog post
After having read Sapiens I realized that there's something deeply disturbing about it all, though.<p>The fact that Harari seems to think that everything is just a 'story' that we tell ourselves, is way too nihilistic.<p>Maybe, taking this external perspective, we can understand better the direction in which we're going, but it doesn't resolve a fundamental question: why do we live the way we do?<p>In the long(human timescale) run, this is unsustainable and depressing, it takes away from the ethics and the aesthetics that have made human life what it is, that have brought us to live the way we do.
