Sapiens - a brief history of humanity

 About Homo Sapiens and how Mankind used the Agricultural Revolution, Fantasy, Language, Tales, Religion, Money, Cooking Arts, Hierarchies and Diets to develop.
 I think the author takes up a lot of very interesting ideas in an inspiring way. But I disagree with him that "free will" does not exist. Our legal history and civilization clearly shows that individuals can use willpower to perform miracles.
 Especially interesting is that the author points to how important "simple ignorance" has been in creating the modern society.

 It is the Socratic idea that ignorance exists in three different levels:

1) Simple ignorance = to know that you do not know (something to strive for!).

2) Double ignorance = to be unaware that one does not know. (Means that you can reach the level of simple ignorance if someone points out to you that you do not know and you are intelligent enough to then recognize it).

3) Triple ignorance = to be convinced that you know when you do not know. - A hopeless situation, which particularly fundamentalists would find themselves in, if they were smart enough to realize their situation (both religious, political and materialistic).

 It is the hell of fixed ideas, dogmas, preconceived ideas etc.

Interesting discussion with many unusual views – You will find it at:

Historian Yuval Noah Harari takes in the book "Sapiens: a brief history of humanity" us from Homo sapiens first step on the earth, when we were a mammal among all others, until today when we stand as the world's undisputed ruler.
