From Harari, ‘Sapiens: a Brief History of Mankind’, p.124

‘We believe in a particular order not because it is

• bjectively true, but because believing in it enables us

to co-operate effectively and forge a better society. Imagined orders …are the only way large numbers of humans can co-operate effectively…. …An imagined order is always in danger of collapse, because it depends on myths, and myths vanish once people stop believing in them. In order to safeguard an imagined order, continued and strenuous efforts are imperative.’
