The history of ethics is a sad tale of wonderful ideals that nobody can live up to. Most Christians did not imitate Christ, most Buddhists failed to follow Buddha, and most Confucians would have caused Confucius a temper tantrum. In contrast, most people today successfully live up to the capitalist–consumerist ideal. The new ethic promises paradise on condition that the rich remain greedy and spend their time making more money and that the masses give free reign to their cravings and passions and buy more and more. This is the first religion in history whose followers actually do what they are asked to do.

To ensure that pigs can't run away, farmers in northern New Guinea slice off a chunk of each pig's nose so it can't sniff out food and has to depend on humans to survive A classic manipulative move that also can be practiced on humans. Just by slicing off a chunk of one's personality and devalue them, enough to stop them from sniffing out the confidence to feel good by themselves without relying on the butcher.

Algoritmo

Estou lendo HOMO DEUS - Uma Breve História do Amanhã, do mesmo autor de Sapiens - Uma Breve História da Humanidade, o judeu Yuval Noah Harare. Não se iluda, nem um e nem outro são livros breves, bem pelo contrário, são de mais de 400 páginas. E muito consistentes, particularmente encontrei em Sapiens e agora em Homo Deus conceitos que saciam minha fome por respostas. Gosto das idéias do cara. Foda. Porém pode deixar crentes em vida depois da morte em desespero ou simplesmente vão condenar o livro à fogueira catalogado como um livro de ensinamentos hereges ou pior ainda, inspirado pelo diabo para tirar a fé das pessoas em um deus criador. O autor é um historiador, um grande conhecedor das coisas e portanto escreve a partir do conhecimento, da ciência e claro, aplica suas idéias para interpretar os acontecimentos atuais e futuros, neste livro, do mundo. Em Sapiens dedica-se a explicar as coisas, como surgiu o homem e todo o desenrolar da história e tal. Ambos os livros são simplesmente fodas. Estou lendo as últimas páginas, nesta parte do livro ele trata de algo que deve nos fazer pensar muito, que merece muito da nossa atenção, os algoritmos. Vivemos na era do "dataismo", o bem mais valioso, a informação. Nunca antes imaginamos que um candidato à presidência da república faria e ganharia sua campanha nas redes sociais. Os adversários dormiram no ponto e negligenciaram essa importante mídia, uma ferramenta que liga o candidato diretamente com cada eleitor. Para Harari o buraco é bem mais embaixo. Os algoritmos controlam nossas vidas muito mais do que podemos imaginar e supor, eles estão em todo parte, estão em tudo. Talvez o deus desconhecido seja o algoritmo. Até mesmo seus instintos e teus desejos podem ser controlados por meio dos algoritmos.

21 LESSONS FOR THE 21st CENTURY - YUVAL NOAH HARARI

I was looking for an image that would sit alongside the iconic finger prints on both Sapiens and Homo Deus. The iris is like a fingerprint. It is individual to each of us. I had just come back from a holiday and it struck me as I went through passport control, that it might be a fabulous image for 21 Lessons.    We then found this wonderful iris, by artist Marc Quinn, that seemed to stand for all mankind.

21 Lessons is published by Jonathan Cape.

Good Morning & Happy Tuesday ☀️

Meditation can be an amazing tool in your daily activities. It doesn’t have to be a 2 hour session with candles and crystals. It can be a brief 10-15 minute moment of peace to clarify your day and slow down the moment. When your mind starts racing, take 15 minutes to do…

Author Yuval Noah Harari is an Israeli historian and a tenured professor in the Department of History at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.

This book contains heavy books for heavy ideas. 

1# Mastering our environment.

2# Immortality, happiness, and divinity

3#Algorithms

Author talks about humanity is morhing into a species that has more power and control than ever before and our 3 biggest enemies are famine,pandemics and war.

In this book author as discussed about illness cancer and heart disease and so on..

Immortality, happiness and divinity are likely to be humanity next target hence the title of the book it’s not time to upgrade humans and the gods and turn Homo sapiens into Homo Deus.

This books talks about Algorithm: Algorithm is arguably the single most important concept in our world if we want to understand our life in our future harare says we should make every effort to understand what an algorithm is and how it is connect with emotions.

Algorithms is a methodical set of steps to make calculations, resolve problems and reach decisions.

This book is kind of dystopian (relating to or denoting an imagined place).

Author says that we all are an algorithm; that all our feelings and thoughts , romances, adventures are just an algorithm.

what if we take this matter and create it and put it into computer and make the computer be like us is that so bad that we can create consciousness do we have

we have to be so special in other words..

Moral of the story:

Technological developments have threatened the continued ability of humans to give meaning to their lives; Harari suggests the possilibity of the replacement of humankind with a super-man, or “homo deus” (human god) endowed with abilities such as eternal life.

Yuval Noah Harar, the author of “Sapiens,” sees a future in which machines make better doctors, AI aids dictatorships and surveillance has a silver lining. https://ift.tt/2NKUDGz
