The author's name is Yuval Harari. Yuval Harari was born in 1976 and is a very good Israeli historian. This man is very powerful. Not only is he very knowledgeable, but he has also been to China.

This book is mainly an exploration and thinking about the future.

Yuval Harari has three books. These three books are part of the brief history series. The first is called "A Brief History of Humanity", the second is called "A Brief History of the Future", and the other is called "A Brief History of Today". 》

The biggest role of understanding history is to see the future direction from history. Therefore, if we understand history, you can know that human beings have not changed much over the years, but human thinking has undergone tremendous changes in this era.

Because of the intervention of technology and artificial intelligence, great changes will occur in people's thinking.

Because of such changes, we are living in the future. The three major problems that have plagued mankind throughout history are famine, plague and war.

What this book explores is, after hunger and famine are solved, what purpose does humankind have?

Yuval Harari believes that it is because people have consciousness. What is consciousness? Consciousness is a subjective experience. Scientists say that consciousness is a subjective experience.

The real power of human beings is that they can enable large groups of people to achieve large-scale flexible cooperation. It is not consciousness itself, but a subjective reality generated by consciousness. This subjective reality is the story we often tell.

Do these fictional things lead people to believe some very strange things? As long as you believe it, it exists.

In other words, religion means that people only need to pray to God, and God will help you solve all your problems. Yuval Harari should be a very devout atheist. With the theory of evolution, the relationship between humans and animals has changed again, with humans being said to be more advanced than animals.

In this era, the meaning of religion seems to be becoming more and more extensive, so the book talks about humanism as the religion of the modern world.

In fact, when we talk about religion, we don’t just refer to sects such as Christianity, Buddhism, and Muslims. As long as these three views are met, it is called a religion:

Use human nature to replace the position of God in the original religion, and use human experience to create meaning for the outside world.

So for the humanistic concept, there is a formula that knowledge equals experience times sensitivity.

When we sympathize with others or are sympathized with, these are what we call sensitivity. So for a liberal, no matter who you are, the most important thing for him is his inner experience. As long as I feel it is right, and what I feel is right, it is right.

In politics, liberals believe that they should listen to the voice of voters, and voters should choose whomever they like according to their inner voice.

The decision-making power to engage in economic liberalism lies with consumers.

Morally, as long as you feel that you can do something about it, you will be happy.

There is no standard answer in education, whatever comes to mind is what you think.

Everyone has eyes in art, and beauty is subjective, not objective.

We used to have imaginary communities, which were stories that everyone believed. Now more and more people seem to not believe the story you believe, and you don’t believe their stories either.

Liberals' emphasis on each person's experience is based on three assumptions.

The book says that there may be three trends in the future, and these three trends correspond to three types of people.

Therefore, these three trends have been transformed by the trend of technological progress into three types of people, namely useless people, people without autonomy and gods.

Harari made a summary, saying that there are two religions you can see:
