I don't like Sapiens. In a complex world the time it takes for an average second grader to become a subject matter expert is about 30 years. And it's increasing not decreasing.
Reading Sapiens will make you feel and sound like you know what you are talking about.
And therefore it is for people who cannot put in the thirty years to feel like subject matter experts.
It's like what Jon Stewart/Rush Limbaugh and their clones do for their fan clubs.
