“We control the world basically because we can cooperate better than any other animal”
— Yuval Noah Harari

Simplified Meaning:
Humans are able to work together in ways that no other animals can, and this is why we have such a big influence on the world. Think about how we build cities, create laws, or launch rockets to space. These things happen because many people come together, share ideas, and cooperate with each other. For example, constructing a skyscraper isn't something one person can do alone. It needs architects, engineers, builders, and many others, all cooperating towards the same goal. This ability to work together on complex tasks gives us power and control over our environment, which other animals just don't have. By learning to cooperate better with those around us, we can accomplish even more.
