This is pure gold: “There are many kinds of Gods. People usually have two very different Gods in mind when they say the word ‘God’. One God is the cosmic mystery. We don’t understand why there is something rather than nothing, why the Big Bang happened, what human consciousness is. There are many things we don’t understand about the world and some people choose to call these mysteries by the name “God’. God is the reason there is something rather than nothing. God is behind human consciousness. The most characteristic thing about this God is we know absolutely nothing about him / her / it / they. There is nothing concrete. It’s a mystery. This is the God we talk about late at night in the desert as we sit around the camp fire and think about the meaning of life. That’s one meaning of God. I have no problem with this version of God, in fact I like it very much. Then there is another God which is the petty law giver. The characteristic of this God is we know a lot of concrete things about that God. We know what he thinks about female dress code, we know what he think about sexuality, we know what he feels about food, about politics. This is the God people talk about when they stand around while burning a heretic. We will burn you because you did something that God doesn’t like. It’s like a magic trick. How do you know God exists? Well, the Big Bang and human consciousness and science can’t explain this and that, and then like a magician swapping one card for another, they will take out the mystery God and replace it with the petty law giver and you end up with something strange like because we don’t understand the Big Bang, women must dress with long sleeves and men shouldn’t have sex together. What’s the connection? How did you get from here to there?” Yuval Noah Harari
Thats philosophy and not spirituality. Spirituality is about inner peace and this is what most people get from religion. He is in habit of making baseless claims.
@@RajasthanFame21 if you dislike the existence of religion, why bother taking care of them, Religion itself define as a group of people who believe in spiritual and supranatural powers.
Harari's talks have shifted more in emphasis recently to the importance of developing mental stability, empathy and compassion as an antidote to the challenges facing the world. As a meditator for 20 years and a historian, he is simultaneously aware of the ghastly cruelty and ignorance displayed by humans in the past and the extreme danger of combining our fearful primordial reptilian and mammalian brains with the power of technology. I think he truly believes that developing the mind and learning to know who we really are is the only way we might avoid the grim future he otherwise foresees for us. As he says, "If we all knew ourselves, we would be living in a very different world." As a long-term meditator and amateur historian myself, I completely agree with him.
It may be generally true that he focuses on that but in this video it seemed that it was more 'fed' to him by the audience rather than he 'bringing it up'
I have seen it in more and more of his talks. His latest book also has a chapter on meditation. He has also said, "The most important thing we can do is to understand the mind."
@@squamish4244 I find this statment interesting, and i would really like to know if this is true.. Couse if understanding the mind is the way to be a better more empathic etc person, does this mean that Yuval and others who understands their mine are persons, who act more moral in general, and helps with giving money to red cross(or simular), helps old ladys over the streets, and so on, in a higher degree then others? Acording to The Righteous Mind: ... by Jonathan Haidt this is not always the case in studys of ppl who have high levels of diffrent understanding of their minds.
Love Yuval's dig at Google in his last answer in a Google podcast Q: What project would you advice Google to take on? A: An AI system that gets to know me in order to protect me and not in order to sell me products or make me click on advertisements.
As a field of study, History concerns itself with what actually happened. Spinning tales about it is the industry of selling books and lecture tours. The man admitted that he cannot tell when and why that inflection point happened, when humans turned modern, some 20, 50, 150,000 years ago. When asked straight up whether he believes his own myths, he waffled that he tries not to, yet could not state a coherent position about existence of objective reality. Poor fellow is stuck wanting to be a scientist, which posits objective observable measurable reality, certainly on the human scale. Yet so mired in the byproducts of post-modernist relativism that can only lean upon not increasing 'suffering' as the guiding light.
@@walterkarshat8868 That's how science works. People not concerned with science always expect absolute truths from science. That's not something science can give. What science gives is models that seemingly work. Those models, before being declared as "scientific truth" are put to the test, in certain limits. You can't easily do this with historical facts. But what you can do is to identify similar situations throughout history, compare their evolution, analyse the differences in context, and derive a probably correct conclusion about what circumstances lead to a specific outcome. You can, for example, easily say that continuous degradation of education, strong nationalistic feelings and an increasingly corrupt state eventually cause a war, when those things happen in a large and powerful nation, while they just cause a nation to disappear, when they happen inside a small, less powerful nation. But you cannot predict what impact technological evolution might have on the outcome. In Hitler's time, it led to the utter destruction of Germany. Nowadays it might lead to the end of human civilization as we know it.
For everyone interested in the subject, at 49:09 the subtitles say "passive meditation". The correct expression is "Vipassana meditation", which is a particular form of meditation.
Why aren't his books in my school curriculum. Easily the best and most infliential philosopher I've ever read. Edit - I don't agree with my previous comment anymore however I'm not gonna delete this
Yes, he blows away weaksauce like Jordan Peterson who gets attention because he bitches about gender pronouns and tells young men to clean their bedrooms. Meanwhile Harari is talking about the fate of the human race. I think the scale of his thought is too much for a lot of people. That is changing, though.
the reason may as well be that school and religion do not mix well together, and his viewpoint, is rather "anti-god." that probably isn't the right word, but schools won't teach material that is going to end up getting them sued lmao.
@@squamish4244 Just gender pronouns? Just cleaning rooms? Do you even understand the fundamentals that make any of the topics discussed meaningful? What a stupid thing to say that all he talks about are pronouns. Nobody mentioned JP at all and you bring him up to have something bitch about. Pathetic and disgusting.
Yuvali, you are probably the human that I love and admire the most in the whole world! You are also probably the most intelligent of all humans I ever met...
If we really listen what he said, we can cry out loud. From the first second, till his closing, it is all about saving humankind. Technology and everything else, none is important. Very noble. Salute.
The world is a dangerous place.And it's the most dangerous time to be naive..With this kind of thinking you will be among the first to get the mark..His mark.

Google will give as the impréssion of protection while continuing to harvest our data and selling it to the highest bidder. It will still be about mindfuck
@@BaneTrogdor 57:49 Yes Yuval's answer was spot on. Users of social media platforms (or our attention) are the product that allows the company to make money. Our well being doesn't seem to fit into this narrative - maybe because it doesn't allow the path of least resistance to keeping the company profitable.
Brilliant! I’m comforted to know others have this awareness and understanding. Yuval’s books should be read and discussed worldwide and as part of all high school and higher education curriculum. Thanks 🙏
Agreed. Imo, The current modern curriculum is highly underestimating the importance of psychology and philosophy of modern era. I think rather than teaching the students the advanced studies, I'd prefer the students to actually be taught how to survive in the current modern era. More practicality than theory. Students would be more motivated if they themselves faced the problem of life directly and the teachers would help them afterwards.
He is the new Aldous Huxley. If he could write fiction like Brave New World it could be an English novel on the curriculum. Presently there is not much on sociology or psychology at a high school level.
I like the clarity with which he sees and expresses different topics and how he uncovers connections that previously might have seemed "strange" or "shrouded".
The greatest tools to reinvent yourself in a fast-faced human life are emotional intelligence and mental stability. Thanks Professor Harari for saying it out loud. It cannot be said enough.
Well do not be! If you study everyday, you can do better bellive me! His work is this. This is what he gets pais for not by his university but also by the TECH WORLD for who he speaks!
I've read all of his books, but Homo Deus has changed my life. Do you know when you really want something but you don't know what it is? That's exactly what happened to me when I read that. When it comes to knowledge, history and improving the way I see the world, this book was everything I could ever crave for.
During The spiritual quest when you do get the answers you can’t turn around and call it religion... I think this comparison is just a clever gymnastics on words which is basically saying I get to determine which answers are valid. I don’t believe the characteristics of the person (religious or spiritual) is the underlying difference in question here but rather the ideology itself.
No need to add more adoration on Yuval Harari, the man is very good at what he does and a brilliant analyst imo. I would like to bring attention to great moderation by Mr. Wilson White. At least from what I saw, he was well prepared, he managed the questions brilliantly, he was very receptive and communicative when steering prof. Harari and managed to even challenge some ideas to give the audience a better picture of what prof. Harari was trying to say. A delight all in all.
It's been like tenth time I am watching his one hour long talk and every time I found something new and I always felt like worth watching, He is my favorite author maybe the things I am writing is monitored by Google and it will use it when I grow up to target certain product but I don't get bothered by it, I assume it's the human situation and we would always face difficulties, uncertainty and most likely death in our life-time and our consciousness would get lost and from that time nothing would matter to us and everything is illusion and Human pleasures are really very good.
When everyone's busy running for survival, thinking about others problems is a luxury. There is no immediate incentive for the average individual to focus on global problems.
That's why Harari says that it is a privilege and a responsibility for those of us who do have the time and energy to focus on global problems. I have both the time and the energy, and I have a mind that can contain the scope of his thinking, so I feel it is my responsibility to do what others can't.
Yes, and that's how civilization got started. It never would have got off the ground unless some people had time to just think and quiet their minds, and decide that society should do x or y. The same for scientists. You can't invent the steam engine if you're working in the fields all day.
Ah well, it seems a luxury but it's not. For instance, take an example of global issues like GLOBAL WARMING & NUCLEAR WEAPONS AND WARS . 1. GLOBAL WARMING:- ▪︎temp rise , icebergs melting, sea levels rise, islands and coastal lands sink. ▪︎temp rise , atmospheric changes occur , human body temp and mechanism differs from the environmental changes , diseases and disorders bloom ▪︎temp rises, seasonal variations more likely tend to change again & again, crops don't have capabilities to cope up with seasonal changes again and again in short time periods, less crop-produce, food scarcity, famine, death Many more.... These are the main points , but we divert ourselves from them and focus on others.
In addition to my previous comment... 2.NUCLEAR WEAPONS &WARS ▪︎More competition , more will for defense budgets, more & more money spent on weapons and defenses., less amount for other services , less facilities over the years, less quality of life. UNBREAKABLE WALLS OF DEFENSE OUTSIDE, LESS PROPER RESOURCES TO LIVE , INSIDE
I have read his three books: Sapiens, Homo Deus and the 21 Lessons. He is simply brilliant. I think there is a relationship between his theory, Neils Bohr's philosophy of quantum mechanics and the activities of Nobel Peace Laureate Professor Muhammad Yunus. Great people really think and act alike.
So I finished his new book day before yesterday. I think it is his best work because he is most objective in this book. Also instead of simply painting the world, he really gives reason for a global uprising. More people, influencers, common men and leaders should read this book. I understand it will challenge people but come on, man - its absolutely essential and 100% true. I agree with almost all of the matter and don't recall anything I did not agree with.

yes the host seemed quite narrow minded and almost defensive towards google which didn't drive the discussion forward the way it should. But it was an amazing lecture
I am going through his book Sapiens where on page 120 he discussed about Hammurabi Code but unfortunately he didn't discuss about stone inscription of Indian king Ashok, which is more enlightening .
Did you note the question from the anchor at the very beginning about the book about afterlife? That's where it is heading. That's what it enhances. Humanbeings had free will as the fundamental and this is now under attack from such crack head knowledge gamers.
Some very powerful ideas. Love how Yuval speaks the same whether he is at Google or elsewhere. He thinks what he thinks. Also, the interviewed did a great job.
Before I recently got acquainted with his speeches online, I had had difficulty finding another consistently rational-minded bloke comparable to the late Bertrand Russell. I’ve thoroughly been enjoying his precision of analyses and the maximum distancing of himself from bias in those analyses. And Prof Harare seems guided by a sense of the need to promote abstract, universal justice only Vladimir Lenin was similarly obsessed with.
I think Harari's next book should focus on the mind and the development of emotional intelligence and mental stability, and also the mystery of consciousness. And unlike almost every other public intellectual of today, he does not adhere to the idea that the mind arises from the brain and refers to it as a "dogma". The mind and how it can use our technologies to create heaven or hell is such an important subject that I believe it is worth him devoting an entire book to it.
There is no such thing as "emotional intelligence". Emotional intelligence is about the same intelligence as a rat. You're talking about the Amygdala when you're talking about emotions. Our lizard brain.
Whatever. But let's say you're right, for the sake of argument. How about empathy and compassion? Are they real, advanced functions? Certainly, as far as we can tell, humans possess both traits to a much greater degree than any other conscious being. They are both undervalued in our society - at least, we have never developed very effective means for cultivating them in the same way as we can cultivate the intellect.
@@squamish4244 basic functions that vary in degree from individual to individual. Some individual's show only empathy and compassion for their immediate family, others extend it to their community, others to their nation, others to their species and others extend it towards other animals. It stems from our tribal primitive instincts. We care for others because we want others to care for us should we be in need. It's a form of altruistic individualism. It doesn't need much societal focus as it is already programmed into our primitive mind. You'll see primitive lifeforms displaying empathy and compassion. It's nothing special about humans.

"We don't know what we will teach our children in the future". A wise parent always knows that teaching a child GOOD AWARENESS is one of the most important things, so we as humans can look and see, listen and hear, touch and feel, and think to understand. So many years of schooling by a system and kids remember nearly nothing. Doctors, lawyers, bureaucrats, and more - are like robots following algorithms, programs, and directives.
Three things I've encountered in life that make me feel particularly insignificant... Astrophysics... Geology... ...and Yuval Noah Harari But boy am I glad I've encountered all of them...I know my place....and that place is enough.
Such an amazing man and professional. His studies and elucidations buid bridges to very technical predictional understandings that open a 360° eye. Congratulations for your work Yuval. It's always a pleasure to access the scientific knowledge that you've been developing.
I find scaring watching people instead of speaking, readind their questions in their smartphones. Witnessing the lack of essentiak abilities like memory, listening and reacting in a conversation is like nightmare come true.

the fact that Yuval himself explains in a conversation organised by Google that we modern humans lack our free will by Google and other organisation just get over me , what an HONEST THINKER
Indeed. What a honest man who talks about Ethics. ETHICS. Definitely trustworthy. 100%. And it’s not just him- think about all the psychologists turned mass-media gurus who speak THE TRUTH, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help them their inexistent god. I can feel the warmth of hope warming my heart and filling my brain which, now, craves to see the technological dawn. I feel that my life is worth living. My soul dances with ecstasy whilst beholding the sheer beauty of humanity. I am IN AWE.
Just WOW! This guy is a genius. I wish I had even 10% of his ability/knowledge/thinking skills. That would be enough to keep me very satisfied in life.

We know what he thinks about female dress code, we know what he think about sexuality, we know what he feels about food, about politics. This is the God people talk about when they stand around while burning a heretic. We will burn you because you did something that God doesn’t like. It’s like a magic trick. How do you know God exists? Well, the Big Bang and human consciousness and science can’t explain this and that, and then like a magician swapping one card for another, they will take out the mystery God and replace it with the petty law giver and you end up with something strange like because we don’t understand the Big Bang, women must dress with long sleeves and men shouldn’t have sex together. What’s the connection? How did you get from here to there?” Yuval Noah Harari
Graeme Myburgh sounds like the dialogue from PK
about that desert campfire.... see the book God's Itinerary to find how he got to the big city.
It is really gold!👍
Amazing
The greatest tragedy of the humankind is the emergence of monotheism. It resulted in so much suffering.
Its pretty impressive that after 4 years. Their talk about AI is still relevant today. This interview was ahead of its time!
A brilliant man right there. Wish world leaders follow his mindset.
right thea

"Spirituality is about questions, religion is about answers" that's a powerful statement that I think many religious people might not object to
Unfortunately the answerers only believe that only their answers are right !
Thats philosophy and not spirituality. Spirituality is about inner peace and this is what most people get from religion.
He is in habit of making baseless claims.

Harari: "Google Will hack us".
Interviewer: "Yeah, but you gave us permission".
Harari: "No, we didn't".
Well, that backfired. Gotta love this guy.
Harari's talks have shifted more in emphasis recently to the importance of developing mental stability, empathy and compassion as an antidote to the challenges facing the world.
As a meditator for 20 years and a historian, he is simultaneously aware of the ghastly cruelty and ignorance displayed by humans in the past and the extreme danger of combining our fearful primordial reptilian and mammalian brains with the power of technology.
I think he truly believes that developing the mind and learning to know who we really are is the only way we might avoid the grim future he otherwise foresees for us. As he says, "If we all knew ourselves, we would be living in a very different world." As a long-term meditator and amateur historian myself, I completely agree with him.
It may be generally true that he focuses on that but in this video it seemed that it was more 'fed' to him by the audience rather than he 'bringing it up'
I have seen it in more and more of his talks. His latest book also has a chapter on meditation. He has also said, "The most important thing we can do is to understand the mind."
@@squamish4244 I find this statment interesting, and i would really like to know if this is true.. Couse if understanding the mind is the way to be a better more empathic etc person, does this mean that Yuval and others who understands their mine are persons, who act more moral in general, and helps with giving money to red cross(or simular), helps old ladys over the streets, and so on, in a higher degree then others? Acording to The Righteous Mind: ... by Jonathan Haidt this is not always the case in studys of ppl who have high levels of diffrent understanding of their minds.
But in so many, many more books, it is.
@@squamish4244 So you also give more then most to Humanitarian aid organizations, help poor ppl on the streets etc then?
Love Yuval's dig at Google in his last answer in a Google podcast
Q: What project would you advice Google to take on?
A: An AI system that gets to know me in order to protect me and not in order to sell me products or make me click on advertisements.
Harari's views and research are astounding. I could listen to him speak for hours. The interviewer was also very good at managing the conversation.
*"History is not the study of past. History is the study of change."* - Yuval Noah Harari
As a field of study, History concerns itself with what actually happened. Spinning tales about it is the industry of selling books and lecture tours. The man admitted that he cannot tell when and why that inflection point happened, when humans turned modern, some 20, 50, 150,000 years ago. When asked straight up whether he believes his own myths, he waffled that he tries not to, yet could not state a coherent position about existence of objective reality. Poor fellow is stuck wanting to be a scientist, which posits objective observable measurable reality, certainly on the human scale. Yet so mired in the byproducts of post-modernist relativism that can only lean upon not increasing 'suffering' as the guiding light.
You need to study the past and learn from it to move forward. Communism needs to be discussed globally and all the deception behind it.
@@walterkarshat8868 That's how science works. People not concerned with science always expect absolute truths from science. That's not something science can give. What science gives is models that seemingly work. Those models, before being declared as "scientific truth" are put to the test, in certain limits. You can't easily do this with historical facts. But what you can do is to identify similar situations throughout history, compare their evolution, analyse the differences in context, and derive a probably correct conclusion about what circumstances lead to a specific outcome. You can, for example, easily say that continuous degradation of education, strong nationalistic feelings and an increasingly corrupt state eventually cause a war, when those things happen in a large and powerful nation, while they just cause a nation to disappear, when they happen inside a small, less powerful nation. But you cannot predict what impact technological evolution might have on the outcome. In Hitler's time, it led to the utter destruction of Germany. Nowadays it might lead to the end of human civilization as we know it.
I think history should spell with tow Ss !(hisstory)
Walter white be like : wohooo
Meditation is about separating story (which is constantly generated from the factory of mind) from reality
Tháts one more valid reason not to watch television, which is focused on 'exitement and attention'
I know nothing about meditation, but I'm pretty sure he was specifically talking about Vipassana and not meditation in general
Read all three books of Mr. Harari. They confirmed my perceptions, predictions, experiences and concerns.
Must read all his books.
For everyone interested in the subject, at 49:09 the subtitles say "passive meditation". The correct expression is "Vipassana meditation", which is a particular form of meditation.
Thank you so much for pointing that out!!
Yuval, thank you. Thank you for spreading Dhamma everywhere. Goenka must be proud of you!
Why aren't his books in my school curriculum. Easily the best and most infliential philosopher I've ever read.
Edit - I don't agree with my previous comment anymore however I'm not gonna delete this
I think exactly the same. His books should be read even from middle school
Yes, he blows away weaksauce like Jordan Peterson who gets attention because he bitches about gender pronouns and tells young men to clean their bedrooms.
Meanwhile Harari is talking about the fate of the human race. I think the scale of his thought is too much for a lot of people. That is changing, though.
the reason may as well be that school and religion do not mix well together, and his viewpoint, is rather "anti-god." that probably isn't the right word, but schools won't teach material that is going to end up getting them sued lmao.
@@squamish4244
Just gender pronouns? Just cleaning rooms? Do you even understand the fundamentals that make any of the topics discussed meaningful? What a stupid thing to say that all he talks about are pronouns. Nobody mentioned JP at all and you bring him up to have something bitch about. Pathetic and disgusting.
@pitu toup
You never got an education to learn how to spell?
Yuvali, you are probably the human that I love and admire the most in the whole world! You are also probably the most intelligent of all humans I ever met...
If we really listen what he said, we can cry out loud. From the first second, till his closing, it is all about saving humankind. Technology and everything else, none is important. Very noble. Salute.
Yes u r absolutely right
Indeed, thousands thumbs up for him
The world is a dangerous place.And it's the most dangerous time to be naive..With this kind of thinking you will be among the first to get the mark..His mark.
The greatest question I've ever noticed. "What should we teach our kids" by Yuval Noah Harari.
This is absolutely a mind-blowing talk that I am so priviledged to sit down here and listen! Thank you so much, Mr. Harari.
Mr. Harrarri's one project advise for google
"AI product that helps to know myself better in order to protect me than making me buy products or click on ad links"
So, Google should make a product which understands me better than Google does! Well Google will need to hack itself for that!
Google will give as the impréssion of protection while continuing to harvest our data and selling it to the highest bidder. It will still be about mindfuck
Google AI : Good mourning, you are fat and in danger of heart desease ( macdonnalds - i'm loving it)
Liked how he roasted Google
Tom Raptile and companies of the kind
YES ! I paused at the end , when interviewer said that 'google was created to improve human life', and the answer was brilliant.
@@BaneTrogdor 57:49 Yes Yuval's answer was spot on. Users of social media platforms (or our attention) are the product that allows the company to make money. Our well being doesn't seem to fit into this narrative - maybe because it doesn't allow the path of least resistance to keeping the company profitable.
Brilliant! I’m comforted to know others have this awareness and understanding. Yuval’s books should be read and discussed worldwide and as part of all high school and higher education curriculum. Thanks 🙏
Agreed. Imo, The current modern curriculum is highly underestimating the importance of psychology and philosophy of modern era.
I think rather than teaching the students the advanced studies, I'd prefer the students to actually be taught how to survive in the current modern era.
More practicality than theory. Students would be more motivated if they themselves faced the problem of life directly and the teachers would help them afterwards.
He's a bit lowbrow for tertiary studies, Hannah.
He is the new Aldous Huxley. If he could write fiction like Brave New World it could be an English novel on the curriculum. Presently there is not much on sociology or psychology at a high school level.
Same i thought
Sadly the church has too much grip over most schools
When great leaders talk,there's something thereby we're attracted. No one has ever happened to discover this.
I can spend hours listening to this guy. Amazing.
This guy would have you killed in a second if he could. He said everyone who isnt a globalist is WORHTLESS
his talk is addictive as his books
Definately
Correct
100% bro
' History is the study of Change ' , Outstanding interview, thank you.
God gave us free will, how we use it all depends on ourselves.
Spirituality is about questions... liked that line
I like the clarity with which he sees and expresses different topics and how he uncovers connections that previously might have seemed "strange" or "shrouded".
I love how this guy uses "practical" examples explaining complicated matters.
That's what any good teacher, philosopher, or religious leader does.
True
The greatest tools to reinvent yourself in a fast-faced human life are emotional intelligence and mental stability. Thanks Professor Harari for saying it out loud. It cannot be said enough.
I noticed you didn't mention a system of ethics grounded in eternal values. So, your answer could just be summarized as, "expediency".
Mr NOAH
Everyone of us should learn to develop humility Compassion gratitude Forgiveness Obeying the Command
"LOVE THY NEIGHBOUR AS THYSELF"
"DISCERN"
I can't beleive this guy gives us so much information for free. I'm in awe
Well do not be! If you study everyday, you can do better bellive me! His work is this. This is what he gets pais for not by his university but also by the TECH WORLD for who he speaks!
I've read all of his books, but Homo Deus has changed my life. Do you know when you really want something but you don't know what it is? That's exactly what happened to me when I read that. When it comes to knowledge, history and improving the way I see the world, this book was everything I could ever crave for.
it's for those with no brains for Dostoevsky
@George Raptis Assuming hell is a thing, and that something he said might lead you there.
@George Raptis 100%
Spirituality is about questions; Religion is about answers...it is what happens when you stop asking questions.
During The spiritual quest when you do get the answers you can’t turn around and call it religion...
I think this comparison is just a clever gymnastics on words which is basically saying I get to determine which answers are valid.
I don’t believe the characteristics of the person (religious or spiritual) is the underlying difference in question here but rather the ideology itself.
We need to start asking questions about communism and its founding fathers like Karl Marx whom was all for Isrel
Omg this talks is 2 years ago 😭, what a perspective! Thank you so much for making this talks!
His talk is one of the most enlightening ones I have ever heard.
This man really knows what he talks.
No need to add more adoration on Yuval Harari, the man is very good at what he does and a brilliant analyst imo. I would like to bring attention to great moderation by Mr. Wilson White. At least from what I saw, he was well prepared, he managed the questions brilliantly, he was very receptive and communicative when steering prof. Harari and managed to even challenge some ideas to give the audience a better picture of what prof. Harari was trying to say. A delight all in all.
It's been like tenth time I am watching his one hour long talk and every time I found something new and I always felt like worth watching, He is my favorite author maybe the things I am writing is monitored by Google and it will use it when I grow up to target certain product but I don't get bothered by it, I assume it's the human situation and we would always face difficulties, uncertainty and most likely death in our life-time and our consciousness would get lost and from that time nothing would matter to us and everything is illusion and Human pleasures are really very good.
When everyone's busy running for survival, thinking about others problems is a luxury. There is no immediate incentive for the average individual to focus on global problems.
That's why Harari says that it is a privilege and a responsibility for those of us who do have the time and energy to focus on global problems. I have both the time and the energy, and I have a mind that can contain the scope of his thinking, so I feel it is my responsibility to do what others can't.
Spending 2 hours a day meditating and 60 days a year farting around is the perk of being a philosopher.
Yes, and that's how civilization got started. It never would have got off the ground unless some people had time to just think and quiet their minds, and decide that society should do x or y.
The same for scientists. You can't invent the steam engine if you're working in the fields all day.
Ah well, it seems a luxury but it's not. For instance, take an example of global issues like GLOBAL WARMING & NUCLEAR WEAPONS AND WARS .
1. GLOBAL WARMING:-
▪︎temp rise , icebergs melting, sea levels rise, islands and coastal lands sink.
▪︎temp rise , atmospheric changes occur , human body temp and mechanism differs from the environmental changes , diseases and disorders bloom
▪︎temp rises, seasonal variations more likely tend to change again & again, crops don't have capabilities to cope up with seasonal changes again and again in short time periods, less crop-produce, food scarcity, famine, death
Many more....
These are the main points , but we divert ourselves from them and focus on others.
In addition to my previous comment...
2.NUCLEAR WEAPONS &WARS
▪︎More competition , more will for defense budgets, more & more money spent on weapons and defenses., less amount for other services , less facilities over the years, less quality of life.
UNBREAKABLE WALLS OF DEFENSE OUTSIDE, LESS PROPER RESOURCES TO LIVE , INSIDE
Very consistently in Yuval's talks, the audience questions are far more insightful and interesting than those posed by the interviewer.
Thank you one million times 👍💯🎯
40:44 “There are very many intelligent people in the world who don’t know themselves at all which is an extremely dangerous combination”
I have read his three books: Sapiens, Homo Deus and the 21 Lessons. He is simply brilliant. I think there is a relationship between his theory, Neils Bohr's philosophy of quantum mechanics and the activities of Nobel Peace Laureate Professor Muhammad Yunus. Great people really think and act alike.
I liked your idea ,can you please tell how you find a relationship between harari , bohr and yunus
So I finished his new book day before yesterday. I think it is his best work because he is most objective in this book. Also instead of simply painting the world, he really gives reason for a global uprising. More people, influencers, common men and leaders should read this book. I understand it will challenge people but come on, man - its absolutely essential and 100% true. I agree with almost all of the matter and don't recall anything I did not agree with.
🤮🤮

Suffering is a pathological psychological form of addiction. Don’t put any form of suffering at the core of your individual or collective identity.
lmao cringe
Psychology is so important , I agree with Harari, brilliant guy.
It was brave of Google to invite him since he obviously sees them as being one of those companies that are currently not leveraging AI technologies only for the good of human kind
@todos somos venezuela what's the necessity of human existence?
Google's hidden AI recommended that to protect and make blind himself.
One of the best thinkers of our time.

perception of God is so accurate...
I highly suggest that next time you get a host who knows something about the book!
Angharad Llewellyn I cringed Everytime the host opened his mouth🙄

Agreed... I almost felt bad for the host 😓
Certainly agree. I couldnt finish watching this due to his ignorance...
@@marcuspersson7110 not watching the end harmed you more than the host.
Yuval is a genius. Thank you great man I love your books
I am going through his book Sapiens where on page 120 he discussed about Hammurabi Code but unfortunately he didn't discuss about stone inscription of Indian king Ashok, which is more enlightening .
This talk was one of the best that I already heard in all my life
At this critical time of existence I find such talk enhancing to my human life.
Did you note the question from the anchor at the very beginning about the book about afterlife? That's where it is heading. That's what it enhances. Humanbeings had free will as the fundamental and this is now under attack from such crack head knowledge gamers.
Simple music can make you sing simple hug can make you feel better simple things can make you happy, i hope my simple Hello make you smile!!
This Harari guy is Insane
The more understand yourself, the greater incentive you have.
I'm fond of his book sapiens. I had never read history from such perspective. This guy has dug it completely deep
You will wake up when he you can't buy or sell..Without his mark.
Some very powerful ideas. Love how Yuval speaks the same whether he is at Google or elsewhere. He thinks what he thinks. Also, the interviewed did a great job.
🤮🤮
Before I recently got acquainted with his speeches online, I had had difficulty finding another consistently rational-minded bloke comparable to the late Bertrand Russell. I’ve thoroughly been enjoying his precision of analyses and the maximum distancing of himself from bias in those analyses.
And Prof Harare seems guided by a sense of the need to promote abstract, universal justice only Vladimir Lenin was similarly obsessed with.
Big respect for the host. He made Harari think and this interview is much more than 21 lessons in short. More big questions and conclusions.
wonderful ...spirituality is about question...religion is about answers
A talk fueled with honesty.
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. Forever and ever Amen
Nonsense, sorry am a bit an idiot 😢
You don't get a job at Google
God creating the universe in seven days is just a fictional story
You are a hope for humanity
Harari knows everything and more.
I think Harari's next book should focus on the mind and the development of emotional intelligence and mental stability, and also the mystery of consciousness. And unlike almost every other public intellectual of today, he does not adhere to the idea that the mind arises from the brain and refers to it as a "dogma".
The mind and how it can use our technologies to create heaven or hell is such an important subject that I believe it is worth him devoting an entire book to it.
Totally concur! You may want to check out Waking Up by Sam Harris - top notch on insights and intellectual honesty.
Klink
There is no such thing as "emotional intelligence". Emotional intelligence is about the same intelligence as a rat. You're talking about the Amygdala when you're talking about emotions. Our lizard brain.
Whatever. But let's say you're right, for the sake of argument. How about empathy and compassion? Are they real, advanced functions? Certainly, as far as we can tell, humans possess both traits to a much greater degree than any other conscious being. They are both undervalued in our society - at least, we have never developed very effective means for cultivating them in the same way as we can cultivate the intellect.
@@squamish4244 basic functions that vary in degree from individual to individual. Some individual's show only empathy and compassion for their immediate family, others extend it to their community, others to their nation, others to their species and others extend it towards other animals.
It stems from our tribal primitive instincts. We care for others because we want others to care for us should we be in need. It's a form of altruistic individualism.
It doesn't need much societal focus as it is already programmed into our primitive mind.
You'll see primitive lifeforms displaying empathy and compassion. It's nothing special about humans.

Hi Yuval,
I am going to read all your books. Already finished 'Sapiens' and currently reading 'Homo Deus'.
Last answer from Yuval is absolutely great!!! This guy is just awesome!!
"We don't know what we will teach our children in the future". A wise parent always knows that teaching a child GOOD AWARENESS is one of the most important things, so we as humans can look and see, listen and hear, touch and feel, and think to understand. So many years of schooling by a system and kids remember nearly nothing. Doctors, lawyers, bureaucrats, and more - are like robots following algorithms, programs, and directives.
They key is to remember that we created them to serve us, and not that we are here in order to serve them
Three things I've encountered in life that make me feel particularly insignificant...
Astrophysics...
Geology...
...and Yuval Noah Harari
But boy am I glad I've encountered all of them...I know my place....and that place is enough.
Such an amazing man and professional. His studies and elucidations buid bridges to very technical predictional understandings that open a 360° eye. Congratulations for your work Yuval. It's always a pleasure to access the scientific knowledge that you've been developing.
@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?
I find scaring watching people instead of speaking, readind their questions in their smartphones. Witnessing the lack of essentiak abilities like memory, listening and reacting in a conversation is like nightmare come true.
Yeah.... i would also say they were a lil bit nervous😬
The exact moment at the end, when Harari asks for AI to protect people and NOT make people click on banners, 3 buttons appear... very good talk though.
Yuval is the most interesting man in the world 🌎
the fact that Yuval himself explains in a conversation organised by Google that we modern humans lack our free will by Google and other organisation just get over me , what an HONEST THINKER
Indeed. What a honest man who talks about Ethics. ETHICS. Definitely trustworthy. 100%. And it’s not just him- think about all the psychologists turned mass-media gurus who speak THE TRUTH, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help them their inexistent god.
I can feel the warmth of hope warming my heart and filling my brain which, now, craves to see the technological dawn. I feel that my life is worth living. My soul dances with ecstasy whilst beholding the sheer beauty of humanity. I am IN AWE.
There’s gold in every statement he makes!
He is so good and inspirational about the hackable animals thing. I really look up to him as a great animal hacking role model.
Amazing talk, I like the way he clearly states the reasoning behind the idea/innovation and what those are making into use for
Just WOW! This guy is a genius. I wish I had even 10% of his ability/knowledge/thinking skills. That would be enough to keep me very satisfied in life.
Lol, agreed 💯
*WE WILL NEVER COMPLY WITH YOUR IDEAS, EVER!!!*
“Spirituality is about questions. Religion is about answers.”
The best is at the END!! super strong argument and well concludes the whole interview.
I very much regret this talk is so short!
Thank you Google for asking the last question!! 🧠🤯 Harari's answer will be forever my birthday wish from now on 😆
Greatly wise and intelligent guy ever seen (via this recording)! World needs people like you.
I am currently reading this marvelous, neatly-written book 📚 very very enjoyable 🧡💚💜
Long years ago the Greek Sophists said “ Man is the measure of everything.” He’s saying the same thing ultimately
