I love Fareed Zakaria. I am a historian but have to admit, the times we are living in are so confusing. Whatever Zakaria puts his mind to. he puts things into context. Thank you so much.
Steven Pinker was not interviewing, but just wanted to do all the talking and show his knowledge of the field. Fareed as great as usual
Fareed has that brilliant balance between the Left and the Right. Virtue is certainly in the Middle.
Very very very interesting new info about the Dutch!
Excellent content!
Excellent. Great insight coupled with optimism.
Zakaria is terrific.
SIMPLY AMAZING! BRAVO!
Great conversation, can't wait to read the book!
He's just brilliant....
Fantastic!!!
paradigm shift constant continuous and unstoppable
Slavery has never been abolished. It has evolved into a much more complex form of slavery, which is fundamentally the same in machanic. It's how to make use of others to do your works by paying them next to nothing to keep them alive so that you can continue to use them.
Goodluck, they need you
I can't wait to get back home, and buy your book.
why is this happening for so long
Steven - your "curve" comes from TR Malthus's "The Principle of Population", 1798. The book was re-read by Darwin while he struggled to explain evolution: "Survival of the Fitttest" was the contribution Malthus made.
Malthus was also the first political economist to propose what what nowadays atttibute to Keynes, pump prime a depressed economy.
Keynes sole addition to Malthusian economic policy was the "marginal efficiency of capital". In the early 19th century, there was land and labour. Capital as an economic factor did not "exist" back then.
we are all immigrants please don't forget that
Fareed deeply misunderstands china and the Soviet union but pretty good other than that
Fact check: US and EU economy are still about the same size in 2024. EU $26.64 trillion PPP, US $29 trillion PPP. This is after brexit.
I wonder why they didn't mention about Israel and Palestine conflict as Ukraine and Russia conflict.
what was the area in 1600? In what now we know as Isreal, etc.
Listening to him talk about climate change is fascinating. You would think people with such strong views would do 15 minutes of research to see that its not real. The amount of co2 in the atmosphere is .04%, under .02% plants can no longer grow. Water vapor has 100x of times the thermal mass of co2 and it makes up a much larger part of the atmosphere, In deserts it can be 80 degrees during the day and drop to 30 at night. In places where there is water and cloud cover on humid nights it stays very warm. also when there is cloud cover its very warm at night.
A trace amount of co2 does not have any effect on climate. the portion that man is responsible for which is impossible to measure. we know its less than .01% because plants were able to grow before we started burning coal (meaing without human action it was above .02% the minumum for plants to perform photosythesis). When there was .4% co2 (10x what we have currently) plants and animal life thrived. co2 is the gas of life, it is NOT a pollutant and we desperately need more co2 as our plants use it up very quickly.
By burning fossil fuels you are restoring a natural balence back into the ecosystem. CO2 does not determine climate, co2 does not effect climate in any measurable way a all it does is make the earth much more green. the tilt of the earth, fluid dynamics, and the Coriolis effect determine climate. the large oceans and mixing of cold and hot water keep our earths climate incredible stable the amount of energy needed to change it is far far beyond our capability the energy inputs would be absolutely massive. its incredible how 15 minutes of thinking about climate change anyone can realize its false, it amazes me how these people never hear anyone debate anything, they have never heard two people debate something, you can sit down with any liberal and automatically know what their views are on anything, They only have ever heard a single side and are completely ignorant.
Gotta love that he chose to end it with some trump bashing jan 6 propaganda. Couldnt have predicted that one, looks like all those covid shots really did a number on his brain. All these peopel can do is repeat the same rediculous mantras because they have absolutely no insight or intelligent thoughts. "we never had a president try to prevent the peaceful transfer of power" "we almost lost our democracy on that day" think of how ignorant you need to be to believe that statement. its almost like you have to bypass a persons entire critical thinking, before these past couple of years i thought this could only be done through hypnosis. One would quickly come to the realizatoin that just because you have gained access to the capitol doesnt mean you can start making laws, and some how get the worlds most powerful military and police force to surrender. just so they could over throw the current president donald trump, and make the same man president again....usually coups happen to overthrow someone. These people just wanted to audit the election in certian areas because they recieved around 50 thousand signed afidavits of peopel alleging all kinds of voter fraud. Joe biden couldnt even win the primary they had to rig it and kick sanders out, then in the general they had to commit massive voter fruad to put him over the top into the winning catagory. 50% of the country believes joe biden did not win the election legitimaty. The other 50% are too arrogant and lazy to look at the massive pile of evidence. it would take 15 minutes for peopel to listen to the congressional hearings and hearings in the local governments on this issue to understand. but that would take a minimal amount of effort and these people are too lazy and too stupid to ever look into it.
Crazy
You sound like your point of view is exactly what any close minded conservative would say. Scientists and researchers have proven that climate change is real and its primary cause is carbon emissions that continue to increase.
And you worked hard for years to get a PhD in organic chemistry and linear algebra to study the colloidal interactions of atmospheric gases over millions of years of earth’s existence.
Oh, never mind, no, you just watched like an idiot some other idiots’ you tube.
Appropriate that one superficial thinker was interviewed by another. Too bad Sam Harris and Malcolm Gladwell weren’t also there.
Why are stupid people compelled to write graffiti on these walls especially when the content is over their heads?
Wait, your were 1/4 correct; Malcolm Gladwell.
