2014 TKR: Only humans can live in imagined realities. Money, nations, religions are imagined, conceptual realities.

Only humans can live in imagined realities. 
Money, nations, religions are imagined, conceptual realities.
In this excerpt from the event, A Brief History of Humankind, historian Yuval Noah Harari challenges everything we know about being human – our thoughts, our actions, our power, and our future.

How to handle a Hypergrid address 

From any Hypergrid-enabled grid, paste the address into the address bar of Firestorm and press enter. Or paste it into the world map search bar of any viewer, search, and click Teleport when the destination is found. If it doesn't work, don't give up. Try again in couple of minutes.  Sometimes the first try fails (probably times out).  And try again a few hours later. Some hypergrid destinations are offline part of the day. 
If you get an address like this: 
 hg.francogrid.org:80:Residence-09:/119/128/190     
paste it into the address bar of Firestorm, see if it takes you to the exact coordinates.
