About this listen

In this episode, we explore why our ancient instincts for justice struggle to make sense of today's global challenges. Drawing from 21 Lessons for the 21st Century by Yuval Noah Harari, we discuss how human moral intuition—shaped in small communities over thousands of years—falls short in addressing issues like climate change, global inequality, and systemic injustice. These complex problems defy simple cause-and-effect thinking, often leading people to lean on oversimplified narratives, conspiracy theories, or rigid ideologies. We reflect on how this gap between intuition and complexity impedes progress toward a just world.
