What beliefs shape our lives?

🔔 Small disclaimer: Since we made this video our positions have changed quite a bit. We have become critical of many of Harari's claims, including his belief that technology can/will solve most of our problems and his conceptualization of humankind - although he tries to address human supremacy, he often falls into accepting some very problematic anthropocentric premises and values.


Video's initial description:
