I probably wasn’t gonna play this anyways, although single player was pretty fun most of the time, by far the best part of all the preceding ones were just being a chaos simulator but there’s so many of those that have come out that are equally as good if not more over the top I just dont feel the draw. This cements it for me.

Rockstar should’ve evolved more after both GTAV printed money for well over a decade after release AND RDR2 was such a screaming success.

A Rockstar built fantasy or sci-fi game has a lot of potential in my eyes to recapture some magic in a different way. But maybe I’m daft

For sure, I’m not gonna say the dude or the book has zero value, cause if memory serves there are some good points made. But overall I think he misses the mark hard because he wanted to hit a different one

I’ve got some criticisms of Harari but in general I agree. I think he leans a bit hard into the narrative of progression but i haven’t re-read Sapiens in the context of having read The Dawn of Everything

And that calls into question the generally accepted notion that the way we’ve organized our societies has been getting progressively better over the timeline of our species and that we might be able to take some of the aspects of our modern world that meet that criteria(solar electricity, medical advancements, etc) can be applied to older paradigms. Fusing old and new to create a better world for human kind. Revolutionary book

Yeah that’s more than understandable, it’s dense as fuck, but well worth the effort!

The Dawn of Everything makes this point fabulously and with loads of historical examples. The urge to look at the peoples of the past as primitive and lesser is a major fault in our understanding of ourselves and human societies

Oh so that’s what we’re gonna do today? We’re gonna fight?
