Harari is simply asserting that Whig History is tire and is powered by Nihilism, without trying to make it plausible that this could be the case. This appeals to nihilists and Whigs, which more or less corresponds to appealing to complacency with the appearance of power.https://twitter.com/jim_rutt/status/1211299043713933312 …

I think that it is a big and even funny mistake to consider Nirvana to be morally superior to Samsara. The whole point is that desirability is completely mutable. No state is preferable to another unless the particular configuration of a mind makes it so.

Samsara (never heard of it prior) seems to be "yet another fairy story" to ameliorate fear of the dark.
