Yuval Noah Harari articulates a thought-provoking tension in the human experience, framing it as a balancing act between self-improvement and self-acceptance, provoking deep scrutiny of our endeavours and identity.
Despite Harari's inclination to challenge established narratives, his assertion that the printing press largely enabled the spread of disinformation raises questions about the deeper, interconnected nature of communication tools and their societal impacts.
In contrasting ancient knowledge with modern perceptions, Harari suggests that our current liberal understanding of history lacks the ability to envision alternatives and, as a result, sees the future through a lens of apocalypse.
Harari critiques the popular view of the printing press as solely instrumental in scientific advancement, arguing instead that its role in spreading misinformation must be acknowledged to grasp its dual impact on society.
