Zitate Yuval Harari

„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.“

Über Menschen, Gefühl, Wille, Demokratie

„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.“

„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.“

Gefühl, Vergebung

„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.

Über Angst, Über Glauben, Gefühl, Wille

„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.“

„Animals are the main victims of history, and the treatment of domesticated animals in industrial farms is perhaps the worst crime in history.“

„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.“

„The food surpluses produced by peasants, coupled with new transportation technology, eventually enabled more and more people to cram together first into large villages, then into towns, and finally into cities, all of them joined together by new kingdoms and commercial networks.“

„Of course, by 2033 many new professions are likely to appear, for example, virtual-world designers. But such professions will probably require much more creativity and flexibility than current run-of-the-mill jobs, and it is unclear whether forty-year-old cashiers or insurance agents will be able to reinvent themselves as virtual-world designers (try to imagine a virtual world created by an insurance agent!). And even if they do so, the pace of progress is such that within another decade they might have to reinvent themselves yet again. After all, algorithms might well outperform humans in designing virtual worlds too. The crucial problem isn’t creating new jobs. The crucial problem is creating new jobs that humans perform better than algorithms.20“

„Understanding human history in the millennia following the Agricultural Revolution boils down to a single question: how did humans organise themselves in mass-cooperation networks, when they lacked the biological instincts necessary to sustain such networks? The short answer is that humans created imagined orders and devised scripts. These two inventions filled the gaps left by our biological inheritance.“

„From a Dataist perspective, we may interpret the entire human species as a single data-processing system, with individual humans serving as its chips. If so, we can also understand the whole of history as a process of improving the efficiency of this system through four basic methods:“

„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.“

„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.“

„Doubts about the existence of free will and individuals are nothing new, of course. More than 2,000 years ago thinkers in India, China and Greece argued that ‘the individual self is an illusion’. Yet such doubts don’t really change history much unless they have a practical impact on economics, politics and day-to-day life. Humans are masters of cognitive dissonance, and we allow ourselves to believe one thing in the laboratory and an altogether different thing in the courthouse or in parliament. Just as Christianity didn’t disappear the day Darwin published On the Origin of Species, so liberalism won’t vanish just because scientists have reached the conclusion that there are no free individuals.“

„… Suppose you have two free hours a week, and are uncertain whether to use them playing chess or tennis. A good friend might ask: ‘What does your heart tell you?’ ‘Well,’ you answer, ‘as far as my heart is concerned, it’s obvious tennis is better. It’s also better for my cholesterol level and blood pressure. But my fMRI scans indicate I should strengthen my left pre-frontal cortex. In my family dementia is quite common, and my uncle had it at a very early age. The latest studies indicate that a weekly game of chess can help delay its onset.“
