“It is easy to make things hard, but hard to make them easy”
Rutger Bregman, Humankind: A Hopeful History

Rutger Bregman
“Also taboo among hunter-gatherers was stockpiling and hoarding. For most of our history we didn’t collect things, but friendships. This never failed to amaze European explorers, who expressed incredulity at the generosity of the peoples they encountered. ‘When you ask for something they have, they never say no,’ Columbus wrote in his log. ‘To the contrary, they offer to share with anyone.’7”
Rutger Bregman, Humankind: A Hopeful History

Rutger Bregman
“Dictators and despots, governors and generals-they all to often resort to brute force to prevent scenarios that exist only in their own heads, on the assumption that the average Joe is ruled by self-interest, just like them.”
Rutger Bregman, Humankind: A Hopeful History

Witold Szabłowski
“V ľudoch sa hromadí hnev na Západ, na Ameriku, na Úniu, na Vás. Vediem centrum drogovo závislých. Už roky navštevujem konferencie v celej Európe. Vždy opakujem, my žijeme ináč, ale problémy sú tie isté: ako dať deťom lepšiu buducnosť, starcom dôstojnu smrť, svetu mier. Ale pre vás život v mieri znamená život podľa vašich pravidiel. Hovoríte, že islam je spiatočnícky, že naša demokracia je slabá a tradície sú hlúpe. Nanucujete nám zmeny lebo vy najlepšie viete, ako sa má žiť v 21. storočí. Ak sa pokušame zmenit, veď od cias Ataturka nič ine nerobíme, smejete sa na nám.”
Witold Szabłowski

Rutger Bregman
“One thing is certain: a better world doesn’t start with more empathy. If anything, empathy makes us less forgiving, because the more we identify with victims, the more we generalise about our enemies.37 The bright spotlight we shine on our chosen few makes us blind to the perspective of our adversaries, because everybody else falls outside our view.38”
Rutger Bregman, Humankind: A Hopeful History – from the presenter of the 2025 BBC ‘Moral Revolution’ Reith lectures
