A review by wast
Homo Deus: A History of Tomorrow by Yuval Noah Harari
1.0
A book could be compiled on this book to explain all of the author's misconceptions or deliberate attempts to mislead.
The author is trying to guess the future like a fortune teller. As a science fiction writer, but that didn't work out for him either.
"All careful studies and painstaking examinations have failed to discover any trace of a soul in pigs, rats or rhesus monkeys"
First the author asks the question of the soul, then he says that scientists have not discovered the soul. Then a page later the sentence author declares peoples don't have a soul "In essence, we humans are not that different from rats, pigs, dolphins or chimpanzees. Like them, we too have on soul. Like us , they too have conscions and a complex world of sensations and emotions."
The book is disgusting to me.
1. Nothing useful
2. Described some strange laboratory experiments (with dogs, mice, monkeys) and events, I am absolutely not interesting.
3. The author relies on modern science, Darwin's theory, mentioning sometimes events from the Bible, some nonsense not understandable.
4. Another extremely disliked when the author tells the story from other books and give his understanding. Again, I am not interested in his opinion and I myself want to read without knowing the plot of the book beforehand and make up my own opinion.
An endless list of flaws.
The author is trying to re-invent the bicycle based on Darwin's theory and Christendom, and science (experiments on animals) that doesn't know anything yet, to understand who people are, but without success. This book is garbage in my opinion.
The book was supposed to be about the future of humanity, but it turned out to be about the past that we all know and about Darwin's stupid Theory of Evolution at the head. This is just one of many theories.
Krishna gives an excellent explanation of the soul and everything in the world in the "Bhagat Gita as it is" with commentary A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada
Bhagavad Gita 2.20 For the soul there is neither birth nor death at any time. He has not come into being, does not come into being, and will not come into being. He is unborn, eternal, ever-existing and primeval. He is not slain when the body is slain.
2.22
As a person puts on new garments, giving up old ones, the soul similarly accepts new material bodies, giving up the old and useless ones.
2.24: This individual soul is unbreakable and insoluble, and can be neither burned nor dried. He is everlasting, present everywhere, unchangeable, immovable and eternally the same.
2.25: It is said that the soul is invisible, inconceivable and immutable. Knowing this, you should not grieve for the body.
Bg. 18.61
The Supreme Lord is situated in everyone’s heart, O Arjuna, and is directing the wanderings of all living entities, who are seated as on a machine, made of the material energy.
People make decisions to a large extent what energies affect them, it's the same as what lifestyle they lead.
The Bhagavad Gita describes the three gunas of nature in Chapter 18 Verses 20-21:
"There is sattva, which is the quality of goodness, light, and harmony; there is rajas, the quality of passion and activity; and there is tamas, the quality of inertia and ignorance.”
These three gunas represent the essential qualities of nature, and they are found in the subtle energy and material forms of the universe. Sattva is associated with knowledge, wisdom, and purity; rajas is associated with action, desire, and attachment; and tamas is associated with ignorance, inertia, and delusion.
