About this listen
In this episode, we explore how human beings construct meaning through fictional narratives—religious, national, or personal—and how these stories often rely on rituals, sacrifices, and especially suffering to feel real. Drawing from 21 Lessons for the 21st Century by Yuval Noah Harari, we examine the paradox of stories that offer identity and purpose but are often detached from factual reality. Harari encourages us to look beyond the myths and face the raw truth of human suffering, suggesting that genuine understanding—and perhaps morality—must begin there.
