A short answer to the question above that I want to share with you today = YES, it still is possible and probable.
This is a discussion post reflecting on Daniel Kahneman and Yuval Noah Harari: ‘Global Trends Shaping Humankind’ moderated by Kara Swisher (Noah Harari, 2021).
Prof. Yuval Noah Harari (bestselling author of Sapiens and one of the most influential intellectuals) emphasizes that it is POSSIBLE to make the world a BETTER place WITHOUT breaking any egg.*
*Yuval cited an idiom in one of his passionate comments, while some people believe; “One cannot make an omelette without breaking eggs” = NOT ALWAYS TRUE when it comes to making the world a better place!
You CAN CHANGE THE WORLD for BETTER, PEACEFULLY, QUICKLY, and WITHOUT inventing NEW technology (Noah Harari, 2021).
Examples of Changes Happened:
Number of violence in the world now = ALL TIME LOW
Feminist revolution/one of the biggest social changes (men used to dominate women, as you know)
However, within one century or so, it has changed.
Currently, in many parts of the world (increasing number of), women can exercise the equal rights as men do.
