Yuval Noah Harari Quotes

Yet None Of These Things [laws, Justice, Human Rights, Money] Exists Outside The Stories That People Invent And Tell One Another. There Are No Gods In The Universe, No Nations, No Money, No Human Rights, No Laws And No Justice Outside The Common Imagination Of Human Beings. People Easily Understand That 'primitives' Cement Their Social Order By Believing In Ghosts And Spirits, And Gathering Each Full Moon To Dance Together Around The Campfire. What We Fail To Appreciate Is That Our Modern Institutions Function On Exactly The Same Basis. Take For Example The World Of Business Corporations. Modern Business-people And Lawyers Are, In Fact, Powerful Sorcerers. The Principal Difference Between Them And Tribal Shamans Is That Modern Lawyers Tell Far Stranger Stories.
