Sapiens
Buy Sapiens by Yuval Noah Harari on Amazon
I mean, we had Yuval Harari on the podcast too, and basically in his book, Sapiens, he argues that tech helps mankind leapfrog natural evolution. And only in that context, we were talking about it across a much larger time scale, but in this context, I do think of it as a primordial soup for the next phase.
In this segment, the host discusses Yuval Harari's book, "Sapiens", highlighting its argument that technology allows humanity to surpass natural evolution. This perspective was part of a broader conversation about technological progress.
