Sapience

biology enables, culture forbids - это Harari on what is natural, в Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind, книжка для дошкольников и младших школьников, полна подобных деклараций. критики не выдерживает. да и не требует.

эту фразу широко цитируют везде как и следовало ожидать.

good review A Reductionist History of Humankind:
The book is fundamentally unserious and undeserving of the wide acclaim and attention it has been receiving.
...
Certainly, Mark Zuckerberg’s decision to select Sapiens for his online book club devoted to “big ideas” won’t have hurt sales.
...
A notorious example: the Australian philosopher David Chalmers has suggested that a thermostat “has experiences” and is “conscious” in some sense. And the English philosopher Galen Strawson is one of today’s better known “panpsychists.” (For a discussion of Chalmers and Strawson, see Raymond Tallis’s essay in these pages, “What Consciousness Is Not,” Fall 2011.)
и про глянцевую бумагу, на которой книжка напечатана, он пишет. и даже слово stupid использует. но он graduate student, ему пока что можно.
