you can discuss without me reading the book.

tell me what ideas fascinated you. I think I have a fair idea of what the book is about, since I'm very involved in the transhumanist movement myself.

Also this book was extremely popular and highly rated for a number of years now. I've been involved in a number of conversations around the book. without having read it ofcourse.

short non factual history about the white man. and the way forward for the future for the diverse upper middle class, that have already bought into the myth of great western civilization.

add a lot of psychobabble without much historical proof about human ability to progress through myth making than through facts.

finally ends with a myth about the incoming transhumanist revolution.

I think the book is a complete waste of time. No better than a lot of online forum discussions where people pretend expertise in everything and nothing.

this book is not about white man or any particular man...

in one word i can describe this book ..."Evolve"...

how human race evolved...how it survuved initially...and what social conditions it created (racism, castism, capitalism...etc)...where the human race is progressing...? will there be homo sapiens in next 100 years..etc

This book tries to gloss over the overall history of homosapiens, through the lens of western civilization.

For eg. the most important idea in this book seems to be the assertion that human ability for abstract thought, to create mental models of what they want to achieve as a huge catalyst for them to organize and achieve. which is quite a decent thesis to base a book on.

I particularly don't like this book, because i quickly went through its content pages, and didnt find any chapter dedicated to non-state societies, especially from Africa before colonization. societies that worked through cooperation at the top and not through coercion. He also makes another thesis that evolution of writing enabled the state, but India had working societies and even empires without even writing existing until 300bc.

One particular excerpt I read of the book is from the chapter titled 'Cognitive Revolution'. Too much psychobabble about the ability of myths of religions to bring people together, but nothing about the simple act of speaking in an intelligible language bringing people together. He really tried too hard to build an overarching narrative about the nature of humans, but he was talking purely about the white man.

discouting almost the entire world outside of it.

Not generic hatred against one class of people

I don't have the patience to read Sapiens, but I will suggest you a book that I did read

Debt: The first 5000 years.

the later part of the book, past the 10th chapter is a lot of handwaving bs and a lot anti capitalist propaganda, but it is in the earlier anthropological history part that David Graeber really shines.

The author himself, now no longer alive, has put it up for download. you can find it easily.

One of my all time fav books. All conservatives should read it for sure. I bet you will change your opinion about society. Man has consistently adapted. There is no such thing called constant in human evolution..
