"Are you reading 'Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind'?" Ji Yunya asked, noticing a book turned over on the desk.
Zhuang Jingmo nodded, "I particularly like Professor You's views in this book, they're very novel. Especially his theory of 'collective imagination,' where phenomena beyond our genetic capabilities—like money, government, literature, art—are not innate abilities of ours but products of our shared imagination. It's these imaginations that have set Homo sapiens apart from their close relatives, climbed to the top of the food chain, and greatly accelerated the development of the species, culminating in the modern society we see today. Analyzing history from this perspective is truly refreshing, and it's an eye-opener for me."
