He says that the ability to <em>imagine\u00a0<\/em>a reality is what creates and binds social groups. This corresponds to my own thought that everything is a construct including language itself, and our existential reality is that to become fully human, we must choose what will shape our perception \u00a0or risk being shaped willy nilly without our participation.<\/li>\n<li>His statements about capitalism, based on the idea that the future will be better than today, and that capitalism is a &#8220;religion,&#8221; positing that economic growth is essential because freedom, justice and happiness need growth in the economy. As I challenge assumptions and constructs in other areas of my life, I&#8217;m inspired to challenge this one.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Most of all, I was drawn back to the quote <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/books\/2015\/sep\/25\/industrial-farming-one-worst-crimes-history-ethical-question\"><strong>@JewishVeg<\/strong><\/a> highlighted, and I went to read more. These two articles focused on Prof. Harari&#8217;s idea that human beings are catastrophically destructive to life on the planet, utterly contrary to what the Torah prescribes for us:<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ynharari.com\/topic\/ecology\/\">http:\/\/www.ynharari.com\/topic\/ecology\/<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/books\/2015\/sep\/25\/industrial-farming-one-worst-crimes-history-ethical-question\"><strong>https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/books\/2015\/sep\/25\/industrial-farming-one-worst-crimes-history-ethical-question<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>If time is short, read the summary, but consider the important information and perspectives Prof. Harari brings to the decisions you make every day.<\/p>\n<p>For more, visit my blog, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.vegetatingwithleslie.org\">vegetatingwithleslie.org<\/a>, \u201cLike\u201d me on <b>FaceBook<\/b>\/Vegetating with Leslie or follow me on <b>Twitter<\/b>, @<b>vegwithleslie.<\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This morning, as so often happens, I was alerted by @JewishVeg, to an excellent book by Yuval Noah Harari,\u00a0an Israeli historian and a tenured professor in the Department of History at the\u00a0Hebrew University of Jerusalem. \u00a0The book is Sapiens: \u00a0A Brief History <\/p>\n<p><a class=\"read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/vegetatingwithleslie.org\/?p=2791\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":2835,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[127,16,20],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2791","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nonhuman-animals","category-product-reviews","category-thoughts"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Sapiens means &quot;wise,&quot; but are we?
