I think Harari is on the money. It's all going to be about what kind of value system we manage to believe in collectively to keep this massively improbable accident called civilization working (without this being interpreted as coercion, we're just talking about game rules, not how you play the game under those rules). The good news is that we all have an interest in making it work, despite appearances to the contrary.
i haven't read all of harari's material, but from what i have gleaned, i like him
he's definitely a thinker with an interesting take
yes we need voluntary cooperation/participation to solve some of the challenges we're facing
politics has huge credibility problems, at its worst it's anti-science and the best case is bad science
i have suggestions
=========================================================================== hey this is pretty thought provoking
or just an interesting conversation with yuval noah harari

On bullshit jobs. Now up from 37% to 40% of all jobs.
A bullshit job—where one is treated as if one were usefully employed and forced to play along with the pretense—is inherently demoralizing because it is a game of make-believe not of one’s own making. Of course the soul cries out. It is an assault on the very foundations of self. A human being unable to have a meaningful impact on the world ceases to exist.
My new mantra, "They're still paying me. They're still paying me. They're still paying me..."
Camus was not interested in convincing everyone else that life is essentially absurd but about finding out how to live with that knowledge. He actually had a lot of respect for human feelings.
Humor is everywhere and always based on distortion, usually exaggeration. I have only ever seen one exception to this rule:

So it's a he? Hmmm. Sounds familiar...What if for the sake of an otherworldly imagination we suspend the frivolous notions of presence and actually inhabit a higher calling? Far out or calling out? To where? For what? To paint with bloody futility? Ambiguity sucks. JMHO
Aaah, you of all people should not be getting hung up on the supposed gender of a possessive pronoun.
Unless you're bored and looking for a metaphysical quarrel.
