“Some people cannot stand so much freedom and uncertainty. Modern totalitarian movements such as fascism reacted violently to the supermarket of doubtful ideas and outdid even traditional religions in demanding absolute faith in a single story. Most modern people, however, took a liking to the supermarket. What do you do when you don’t know what life is all about and which story to believe? You sanctify the very ability to choose. you stand in the supermarket aisle, with the power and freedom to choose whatever you like, examining the products laid out before you, and . . . Freeze that frame, cut, the end. Run the credits” A passage from 21 Lessons for the 21st Century by Yuval Noah Harari.
