Yuval Noah Harari on happiness and Aldous Huxley

Brilliant.

Maybe Yuval could explain WHY? WHY when I began learning Hebrew, simultaneously a Portal Opened in my Ways of Seeing & I could see "Kesem" manifesting in Clouds.

You know all Harari👏👏👏👏

Im not Happy, Im a Prisoner of War

Mainly due to Frequent Abuse of Power + Lack of Empathy

Yes, it seems to be so, Yuval, happiness is decoupled from the state of wealth and abundance of power. What comes to mind is: Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

BNW is my favorite book but Aldous Huxley isn't an author I'm fond of. He created a beautiful, almost perfect world and then depicted it as corrupt and degenerated dystopia - which was totally out of place. Not to mention, that he used a violent, crazy savage religious man as an epitome of rightness and morality - such irony there! XD I really don't think Huxley's criticism of his envisioned utopia was on point. I'd say he is just a prime example of how people have to ruin everything positive, find bad things evrywhere and focus primarily on the negatives. Happiness is the key and goal to a better future and it's clear that in order to achieve it, we have to make some hard decisions - but they will be worth it in the end for sure. And unlike Huxley shows, happiness can't be fake - it's a chemical process in the brain that's triggered by some experience. Happiness is simply happiness. BNW is a maganificent world that we should strive toward in the future!
