About this listen

In this episode, we explore how the complexity of the modern world exposes the limits of individual knowledge. Drawing on insights from 21 Lessons for the 21st Century by Yuval Noah Harari, we examine the illusion of understanding that arises when people treat group knowledge as personal expertise. We also unpack how power can distort perception—leaders and decision-makers often fall prey to groupthink and curated information, leading to dangerously narrow worldviews. This episode challenges the myth of the rational individual and prompts us to rethink how we navigate truth in a highly interconnected society
