Both the above quotes have been taken from "21 Lessons for the 21st Century" (2018/Jonathan Cape, London) written by Thinker/writer Yuval Noah Hariri. He is a writer for whom the tight fisted global band of book reviewers seems to lose all control in extolling his amazing prescience about life, living, despair, resilience, progress and hope.
The Guardian, UK, reviewer calls the book "Truly mind expanding...Ultra-topical...
Dazzling". The Sunday Times, UK calls the book "Erudite, illuminating, vivid... A splendid, sobering, stirring call to arms" and this is what provides me, in this age of war and bewilderment the thread I so desperately needed to be able to write this article..." a stirring call to arms"...I have it now; am delighted and relieved.
All formats of media whether print, TV or social media in all its configurations are flooded with "lessons learnt" from a war that is ironically still ongoing - the fractious Gaza War. There has been an insidious rush to analyse other ongoing wars too; a prime example being the unending Russo-Ukrainian War. With the Sino-Indian "stand-off not amounting to war" in High Himalayas in Tibet having just ended after four years by mutual agreement to resume patrolling in otherwise prohibited areas along the line of Actual Control (LAC), one assumes that its lessons too have lost the urgency they had just scant days before.
