“Just because technology is developing so quickly today and parliaments as well as dictators are being overwhelmed by data they cannot process quickly enough, today’s politicians think in much smaller dimensions than their predecessors 100 years ago. Politics therefore lacks great visions at the beginning of the 21st century. Governing has become mere administration. One manages the country, but no longer leads it. The government ensures that teachers are paid on time and that the sewage channels do not overflow, but it has no idea where the country will be in 20 years.”
– Yuval Noah Harari, Homo Deus, 2017
