Yuval Harari Instagram – It’s not easy being human. Our ‘experiencing self’ is often strong enough to sabotage the best-laid plans of our ‘narrating self’. For example, I can make a New Year’s resolution to start a diet and go to the gym every day. Such grand decisions are the monopoly of the narrating self. But the following week when it’s gym time, the experiencing self takes over. I don’t feel like going to the gym, and instead I order pizza, sit on the sofa and turn on the TV… Nevertheless, most people identify with their narrating self – giving rise to the questionable liberal belief that I am an individual, and that I possess a consistent and clear inner voice, which provides meaning for the entire universe.
