This is what is happening to humanity. We are far too excited. We need time to rest.

Yuval Noah Harari: "Organic entities like us, like human beings, we work in cycles. There is day and night, winter and summer. Sometimes we are active. Sometimes we need rest, we need sleep. The algorithms are tireless. They never need to rest. They are not organic. And what we see in the world now is that they increasingly force us to work according to their pace. There is never any time to rest. The news cycles is always on. The markets are always on. The political game is always on. And if you force an organic entity to be on all the time, to be always active, always excited, it eventually collapses and dies. And you know, the most misunderstood and abused word in the English language today is the word excited. A lot of people mistake the word excited for happy.
Like they meet somebody, they say, oh, I'm so excited to meet you. Or like you publish a new book. Oh, this is so exciting. Now, excitement is not always good. Excitement for an organic being, like a human being, means that your nervous system and your brain are very engaged, very active. Now, if you keep an organic system very excited, all the time, it breaks down, collapses, and eventually dies. And this is what happens now to democracies all over the world. This is what is happening to humanity. We are far too excited. We need time to rest. We need to kind of slow down. And because we give increasing control of the world to tireless, non-organic algorithms that never need to rest and can just increase the excitement all the time, we are breaking down. We need more. Old, not excitement, in politics, in economics, in many fields."
