Hello everyone,
Having had a quick look around there are some interesting conversations going on. I'm looking forward to joining in.
I have a strange sense of humour and I find its best to take things people say with a pinch of salt. So please forgive me because I will use humour and salt.

"We control the world basically because we are the only animals that can cooperate flexibly in very large numbers. We cooperate effectively with strangers because we believe in things like gods, nations, money and human rights. Yet none of these things exists outside the stories that people invent and tell one another. There are no gods in the universe, no nations, no money and no human rights—except in the common imagination of human beings. You can never convince a chimpanzee to give you a banana by promising him that after he dies, he will get limitless bananas in chimpanzee Heaven. Only Sapiens can believe such stories. This is why we rule the world, and chimpanzees are locked up in zoos and research laboratories."

Humor and salty are welcome here. 
Is your signature from Sapiens? I read it last year, a very good book.

It is from Sapiens. I'm halfway through Homo Deus at the moment.

You spelled Humor wrong. You must be a Brit.
Or perhaps you spelled it right?
Whatever.
