After reading the wonderful book ‘Homodeus’, I’ve come to one conclusion... Mankind & Humanity don’t mix. Blame it on ‘The Tyranny of The Unquantifiable’😏 there’s irony in there somewhere I’m sure... – sourceNot that I agree with all of it, but it is still mind-bending speculation about our future. – source

Very interesting alternative perspective on life from a historian. Anti-religion, anti-humanism, pro-animal. Seems detached, but is quite opinionated. Much to think about, regardless. My notes here give a taste. A lot to think about. – sourceFeb 10, 2019
