Zitate Yuval Harari

„Moralische Empfindungen wie Wut, Schuld oder Vergebung gehen auf neuronale Mechanismen zurück, die entstanden sind, um die Zusammenarbeit in der Gruppe zu ermöglichen. … Gefühle sind somit nicht das Gegenteil von Vernunft - sie verkörpern evolutionäre Rationalität.“

Zitate

Vergebung, Gefühl

„Gefühle sind (vielmehr) biochemische Mechanismen, die alle Säugetiere und Vögel nutzen, um rasch Wahrscheinlichkeiten des Überlebens und der Reproduktion zu berechnen. Gefühle beruhen nicht auf Intuition, Inspiration oder Freiheit - sie basieren auf Berechnung. … Gefühle sind somit nicht das Gegenteil von Vernunft - sie verkörpern evolutionäre Rationalität. … Dass Gefühle in Wirklichkeit Berechnungen sind, übersehen wir in der Regel, weil der rasante Rechenprozess weit unterhalb unserer Bewusstseinsschwelle abläuft.“

Wirklichkeit, Vogel, Freiheit, Gefühl

„Demokratie geht davon aus, dass menschliche Gefühle einen geheimnisvollen und grundsätzlichen »freien Willen« widerspiegeln, dass dieser »freie Wille« die letztgültige Quelle der Macht ist und dass manche Menschen zwar intelligenter als andere sein mögen, alle Menschen aber gleich frei sind.“

Wille, Demokratie, Über Menschen, Gefühl

„Dass Gefühle in Wirklichkeit Berechnungen sind, übersehen wir in der Regel, weil der rasante Rechenprozess weit unterhalb unserer Bewusstseinsschwelle abläuft..., und deshalb glauben wir irrigerweise, unsre Angst vor Schlangen, unsere Wahl von Sexualpartnern oder unsere Ansichten über die Europäische Union seien das Ergebnis irgendeines mysteriösen »freien Willen«s.

„In less than a hundred years the Germans organised themselves into six very different systems: the Hohenzollern Empire, the Weimar Republic, the Third Reich, the German Democratic Republic (aka communist East Germany), the Federal Republic of Germany (aka West Germany), and finally democratic reunited Germany. Of course the Germans kept their language and their love of beer and bratwurst. But is there some unique German essence that distinguishes them from all other nations, and that has remained unchanged from Wilhelm II to Angela Merkel?“

„Without criticising the liberal model, we cannot repair its faults or go beyond it. But please note that this book could have been written only when people are still relatively free to think what they like and to express themselves as they wish. If you value this book, you should also value the freedom of expression.“

„When I think of the mystery of existence, I prefer to use other words, so as to avoid confusion. And unlike the God of the Islamic State and the Crusades – who cares a lot about names and above all about His most holy name – the mystery of existence doesn’t care an iota what names we apes give it.“

„Drinking lots of Coca-Cola will not make you young, will not make you healthy, and will not make you athletic – rather, it increases your chances of suffering from obesity and diabetes. Yet for decades Coca-Cola has invested billions of dollars in linking itself to youth, health and sports – and billions of humans subconsciously believe in this linkage.“

„For years I lived under the impression that I was the master of my life, and the CEO of my own personal brand. But a few hours of meditation were enough to show me that I hardly had any control of myself. I was not the CEO – I was barely the gatekeeper. I was asked to stand at the gateway of my body – the nostrils – and just observe whatever comes in or goes out. Yet after a few moments I lost my focus and abandoned my post.“

„Buddha agreed with modern biology and New Age movements that happiness is independent of external conditions. Yet his more important and far more profound insight was that true happiness is also independent of our inner feelings. Indeed, the more significance we give our feelings, the more we crave them, and the more we suffer. Buddha’s recommendation was to stop not only the pursuit of external achievements, but also the pursuit of inner feelings.“

„Prior to the Industrial Revolution, the daily life of most humans ran its course within three ancient frames: the nuclear family, the extended family and the local intimate community.* Most people worked in the family business – the family farm or the family workshop, for example – or they worked in their neighbours’ family businesses. The family was also the welfare system, the health system, the education system, the construction industry, the trade union, the pension fund, the insurance company, the radio, the television, the newspapers, the bank and even the police.“

„…Meanwhile in the USA paranoid Republicans have accused Barack Obama of being a ruthless despot hatching conspiracies to destroy the foundations of American society – yet in eight years of his presidency he barely managed to pass a minor health-care reform.“

„Capitalism did not defeat communism because capitalism was more ethical, because individual liberties are sacred or because God was angry with the heathen communists. Rather, capitalism won the Cold War because distributed data processing works better than centralised data processing, at least in periods of accelerating technological change. The central committee of the Communist Party just could not deal with the rapidly changing world of the late twentieth century. When all data is accumulated in one secret bunker, and all important decisions are taken by a group of elderly apparatchiks, they can produce nuclear bombs by the cartload, but not an Apple or a Wikipedia.“

„The root of the problem is that domesticated animals have inherited from their wild ancestors many physical, emotional and social needs that are redundant in human farms. Farmers routinely ignore these needs without paying any economic price. They lock animals in tiny cages, mutilate their horns and tails, separate mothers from offspring, and selectively breed monstrosities.“

Introduction to Animal Liberation

„In the past there were many things only humans could do. But now robots and computers are catching up, and may soon outperform humans in most tasks. True, computers function very differently from humans, and it seems unlikely that computers will become humanlike any time soon. In particular, it doesn’t seem that computers are about to gain consciousness and start experiencing emotions and sensations. Over the past half century there has been an immense advance in computer intelligence, but there has been exactly zero advance in computer consciousness. As far as we know, computers in 2016 are no more conscious than their prototypes in the 1950s. However, we are on the brink of a momentous revolution. Humans are in danger of losing their economic value because intelligence is decoupling from consciousness.“

„One would have thought that conservatives would care far more about the conservation of the old ecological order, and about protecting their ancestral lands, forests and rivers. In contrast, progressives could be expected to be far more open to radical changes to the countryside, especially if the aim is to speed up progress and increase the human standard of living. However, once the party line has been set on these issues by various historical quirks, it has become second nature for conservatives to dismiss concerns about polluted rivers and disappearing birds, while left-wing progressives tend to fear any disruption to the old ecological order.“

„I cannot name the 8 million people who share my Israeli citizenship, I have never met most of them, and I am very unlikely ever to meet them in the future. My ability to nevertheless feel loyal to this nebulous mass is not a legacy from my hunter-gatherer ancestors, but a miracle of recent history.“

„The loss of many traditional jobs in everything from art to healthcare will partly be offset by the creation of new human jobs. GPs who focus on diagnosing known diseases and administering familiar treatments will probably be replaced by AI doctors. But precisely because of that, there will be much more money to pay human doctors and lab assistants to do groundbreaking research and develop new medicines or surgical procedures.“
