What is unique about Homo sapiens that enables them to dominate all the other animals? People often guess tool production or intelligence. But Harari explains that the real answer is that we are able to cooperate flexibly in a way that no other animal can. We cooperate using storytelling and ‘imagined orders’. In this episode we will review how these ‘imagined orders’ work and then ask the following questions: How did this unique ability arise? Is there a limit to this ability? If so, what happens when we reach that limit?
