Maybe Yuval could explain WHY? WHY when I began learning Hebrew, simultaneously a Portal Opened in my Ways of Seeing & I could see "Kesem" manifesting in Clouds.
Yes, it seems to be so, Yuval, happiness is decoupled from the state of wealth and abundance of power. What comes to mind is: Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
A little it seems, to give him a bit of credit, but what he has done here is taken only a few fragments of the puzzle, and forced them together into an inaccurate and distorted whole. Academics who aren't very good are prone to fake it like this quite often, when the lesson plan or syllabus supercedes the actual knowledge of the academic.
He's a sort of slick, probably benign, guru who makes some good points. An enhanced version of wikipedia in a slightly warped version of English. For example, he lacks the depth of Huxley. Perhaps that is unfair but that is my sentiment. Marty makes a sound point, however.
BNW is my favorite book but Aldous Huxley isn't an author I'm fond of. He created a beautiful, almost perfect world and then depicted it as corrupt and degenerated dystopia - which was totally out of place. Not to mention, that he used a violent, crazy savage religious man as an epitome of rightness and morality - such irony there! XD I really don't think Huxley's criticism of his envisioned utopia was on point. I'd say he is just a prime example of how people have to ruin everything positive, find bad things evrywhere and focus primarily on the negatives. Happiness is the key and goal to a better future and it's clear that in order to achieve it, we have to make some hard decisions - but they will be worth it in the end for sure. And unlike Huxley shows, happiness can't be fake - it's a chemical process in the brain that's triggered by some experience. Happiness is simply happiness. BNW is a maganificent world that we should strive toward in the future!
@@gorgzilla1712 Its a weird viewpoint but I get it in a way. Now we are dopamine hooked internet consuming maybe even drug using zombies constantly stimulating our brain with information and impulses. Do you sure we dont live in a kind of brave new world already? Its possible that we have in the future an AI chip in our brains which would constantly give our brain impulses and would stimulate hormones like serotonine dopamine etc. Making us yes controllable collective zombies but are we not already quite there yet.. Still Brave New World is a dystopia in my eyes. Every utopia is a dystopia because Humans are IMPERFECT and cannot be made perfect in some way. Communists tried it maybe maybe if transhumanism it can work this time for the elite. I dont know man I liked the world of even ten years ago much much more then now. Its already a dystopia I dont like this direction.
This is a hasty and ignorant analysis of the human race. It is also quite typical of today's Western academia. Mr Harari did not mention contentment or satisfaction, personal fulfillment, or the difference between faking happiness, as a drug addict would by using substances, (soma) or genuine happiness, for a person actually solving their worldly problems successfully without harm. If this man is the brainchild of the world economic forum, then we need look no further as to why the agenda is psychotic, and has totally lost the plot.
He is a practising Buddhist, who practises Vipassana meditation daily, which is all about contentment. His most famous book sapiens end with everything you expected him to say. With no intention of personal attack, i think the problem is with you being ignorant. Harari cannot discuss everything in a 8 min video.
Brilliant.
Mainly due to Frequent Abuse of Power + Lack of Empathy

You know all Harari👏👏👏👏
Lol
Are you bend over for him?
YNH would be the first to deny the validity of your comment.
Im not Happy, Im a Prisoner of War
Yes, it seems to be so, Yuval, happiness is decoupled from
the state of wealth and abundance of power.
What comes to mind is: Blessed are the poor in spirit,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
That's not where he's driving
Really?😅 BS
@@miha2404 No just kidding
Does Harari have any real grasp on reality?

Neither of you has the education to grasp his thoughts and philosophy, eh.

Kind of a weird definition of “happiness” you have there….

Huxley was always for bringing about that dystopia. Look at the circles he ran in, same as this psycho.
Go by yourself, ok? Let the others be... Or face the response
You missed a lot or misunderstood BNW! Or you have a shallow distorted view of humanity.
Can you measure the evil You are? And still YOU ARE NOTHING, JUST NOTHING 😅
What’s the matter with you?!
