I can't find the words for Harari. But what I will say is this. I read Homo Deus, pre 2020, and before what I would call my own personal awakening. I was a self identifying atheist at the time and had been most of my life, almost militant atheism in the form of Ricky Gervais (who I now see through very different glasses). I was also suffering quite deep depression though I wasn;t quite aware of that. In the state of mind I was in back then, I didn't really see anything wrong with what he was saying, I pretty much agreed with him, which seems abhorent to me now. But the worry is that, while reading he writing makes me want to vomit, I actually think the the majority of people are still where I was 7 years ago and will just shrug and say "yeah, well, he's right though". It's so painful when people have lost all connection to a soul, a real separate soul.
I don’t believe any of us whether or not any god, creator or intelligent designer actual exist anyway tbh Rob, let alone any verifiable evidence for a soul.
It sadens me to read this comment Sarah, as it reminds me of my previous self. I don't know where I actually stand on the God question. As I have said, I only have questions, but the soul (again,whatever that really is)is real, we are connected by something that is more than material. Im not forcing this on you, it's just my opinion.
Oh I agree with you Rob, I perceive a connection too with the natural world, but whether or not that’s merely physical one or not, I don’t know how we’d be able to evidence it is all.

Good summary. Looking forward to Part 2.
