Why The West Needs A Better Story To Survive
By Neenah Payne
Yuval Harari is an historian and tenured professor in the Department of History at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. He is the author of Homo Deus: A Brief History of Tomorrow, 21 Lessons for the 21st Century, Sapiens: A Graphic History: The Birth of Humankind (Vol. 1) and other books.
In the video below, Harari explains the critical importance of stories. He says human civilization is based on a shared story. We understand our world and ourselves because we share stories about our history, the present, and the future. However, he points out that people have recently lost belief in the stories we were told. He says it is terrifying not to have a story because we don’t know who we are and there is no vision for the future.
Harari explains why the story of each nation is no longer sufficient and argues in favor of a global story. The fight is on now between globalists and nationalists. In the past few years, there has been a sharp turn to defend nationalism just as the World Economic Forum, the World Health Organization, and the United Nations work to introduce a global government run by unelected bureaucrats in Switzerland who are beholden to Big Pharma and other mega corporations. Mussolini defined fascism as the merger between government and corporations. Klaus Schwab, founder of the World Economic is calling for just such a merger in “stakeholder capitalism” to replace shareholder capitalism.
