Word of the Earth: Caution! Devamanav comes

Ajay Singh Chauhan

Wal Noa Harari has been one of the world's most read authors for the past decade. Originally, he was a professor of history at the Hebrew University of Israel. His books 'Homo Sapiens' and 'Homo Deus' about the past and future of mankind are nothing less than thrillers. Lava-spewing volcanoes, sky-splitting lightning, and swirling ocean basins gave birth to Earth's first life; Since then, at the end of three and a half million years of life-world journey, man became the ruler of this planet, the history is in 'Homo Sapiens'. So, 'Homo Deus' is the story of humans preparing to cross the boundaries of the biological and physical world today from the threshold of the twenty-first century. Harari credits man's power to create stories as the reason why the black-headed man became the Kartar, despite the fact that there are many more Baahubali species than humans. Man learned to weave stories. Stories created concepts of religion and nation. It brought together a large group of people who had never met each other for a common goal. A chimpanzee is many times more powerful than a human. But, thousands or millions of chimpanzees cannot gather for one goal. Harari says that God is nothing but a creation of stories. That is why hunters wandering in search of food believed in ghosts. When agriculture was discovered, different types of gods arose in the agrarian society. E. S. No one today remembers the gods that were worshiped around the Mediterranean Sea in the fifth century BC or the gods that existed in the Vedic period. As Harari explains all this, he has knowledge of the latest discoveries in science, knowledge of all the world's major cultures and all the world's religions. There is a view of looking at political and economic affairs in the mirror of the past and the present. There are simple yet irrefutable arguments. It is not that all this was not written before Harari or is not being written now. Yet it exemplifies, constructs language and creates narrative; It becomes a thriller rather than a dry history. Its popularity lies in its versatility. Harari writes at the very beginning of 'Homo Deus', predicting the future of mankind, that now a man is much more likely to die by suicide than to be killed in war or crime. In 2012, five crore sixty lakh people died all over the world. Of these, six hundred and twenty thousand people died due to violence (one hundred and twenty thousand in war and five hundred thousand in crimes). Against this, eight lakh people have committed suicide. This figure keeps increasing with changing years. Similarly no more ammunition is needed to kill people, only sugar is enough. Because in 2012, 15 lakh people died from diabetes. In front of all these statistics there are things that we don't pay attention to on a daily basis. Harari shows that by the time the 21st century began, three problems had been wiping out human populations for centuries; We have largely overcome epidemics, wars and famines. It does not mean that there are no wars, epidemics or famine anywhere in the world. The extent to which human population was wiped out in these three disasters in the past is not happening now. Future wars will be fought not on the military front, but on the economic front. Bioscience is changing the perception of death. Death itself is now a 'technical problem'. which can be corrected. A person dies from heart failure, kidney failure or liver clots. All these are technical problems and every technical problem has a technical solution. Liver, kidney and heart transplants can extend life expectancy. Once upon a time old people who were bedridden due to knee problems could change the cover and start trekking. Theoretically, even when a man dies in war, accident or natural calamity, it is a technical failure; Which could have been avoided. Google subsidiary Calico's stated mission is to find a solution to death. Its fund manager Bill Morris said in an interview 'Today if you ask me it is possible to live for 500 years, the answer is yes'. Not that this is going to be possible today and for everyone. May these boundaries of the possible disappear for the gold rush billionaires by the end of this century. be it human; Climb up the steps of evolution and become a godman. Looking at the past of mankind, it can be said that even if some event diverts the flow of evolution, the flow does not stop. It oozes continuously. We should wait for God. }
