why the music
Check *about* tab on my profile. You will find the answer under the description field.
I agree... the pseudo pink floyd was keeping me from concentrating on the ideas of Yuval
To make feel to the audience this guest is relevant not overrated and promoted, to elevate the whole thing.
The maker of this video wanted something very deep, but the result is annoying.
A lot of people still do not get it that the conversation of two intelligent person does not need any enhancement.
Good question 👍🏻
This vid would be so much better without the music. Not that the music is bad. It just detracts from what is being said.
Harari would be one of the few men who have understood what J Krishnamurti tried to say.
Agree!
He says that story telling is our superpower. Then he tells us "not to view the universe as a story" that "the universe does not function as a story". But the universe is a story! It's a slow process of evolution. To think our ancestors have evaded war, famine, and disease OR to think that our ancestors sacrificed everything just to raise and protect their children, to try and give them a better life than themselves. This has to be the most romantic and meaningful story that we have. The hero's journey! Not to mention this story takes place on a giant space rock we call Earth which has its own incredible story that takes place within our galaxy. And the Galaxy has its OWN incredible story. All these stores are so deeply intertwined like layers to a song.
Music is so horrid that I stopped at 18 seconds.
As per Victor Frankl, the individual meaning of life is the most important motivation for an individual, including finding the motivation to survive suffering in a concentration camp. By neglecting it Mr. Harari either shows that he is not familiar with Frankl's work, or more likely, that he dismisses it. Frankl himself was not giving a definition of meaning for an abstract human life, but rather an opinion that every person shall find their meaning, which could be anything from doing a meaningful positive impact for humanity (creativity, important work), or experiencing the world, raising a child, etc.
The global meaning of life, if you want, is to make the Universe thrive with life, conserve energy by building complex structures with high potential energy, slow down the growth of entropy. The role of humanity in this process is to go beyond the limits of a single planet. Life cannot proliferate in space without our help.
That is a fallacious argument. Just because, something being true would have a good impact , it doesnt mean it is true. Imagine going to your professor and asking for a better grade , because it would be better for you.
Just because something has an effect, it doesn't mean that the explanation of it, is true (ex: a religious guy which feels happier to be closer to his god , doesn't prove the existence of his god).
Frankl doesnt prove that such thing as meaning exists or should exist in an objective sense. If some feel better to have a meaning for life then good for them , but it doesnt prove much .
Arguments aside, you have a highly pragmatic take on Frankl, which I consider is the greatest impact when applying his thinking.
There is perhaps much about identity that is passive, but the actual "formation" process happens in active engagement. If this engagement is with others and it is positive, it does have profound effects. For the self, and for others
I don't believe a word this guy says ... he evaded the answer with several sideway narratives even though he said at the beginning - that's easy :))
Problem is there is no real escape from vulnerability: a big challenge in life is to learn how to bear & cope with inevitable suffering as not all suffering can be avoided. At this moment in history there is such tension in the struggle for power it is difficult to embrace a vision that is adequate for the challenges we face. Hark a voice is crying all are mortal.
Amazing answer
That's a very simple, almost animal way of looking at things. Life in a nutshell is a story. Your story. The story of every individual human that has ever lived. The meaning of life is to find your personal meaning for your existence. That meaning may change and evolve as you live. But once you find it, you'll know. Why is there suffering? Hunger? Hatred? For the same reason there exists happiness, fullness, and love. One cannot gauge one side of the coin without the other. The million dollar question is what is the meaning of humanities life as a whole. My conclusion is that it is the survival of the species plain and simple. Survival works best when we hedge our bets. We went from single life organisms and now we dominate one planet. The next logical step is to expand beyond to other planets and stars.
its the same as "meaning" for all of life on the planet. we are just animals like the rest.
i dont think he could answer this question-
Of course he can't. Look who he sleeps with. He's pure evil
I have given you Life, says The Lord, Live
True only. You gotta experience this instead of mental gymnastics or may I say intellectual masturbation is what he really wants to say. Look up what Vipassana is to understand what he’s saying better.
This isn't music, it's background noise and it interferes badly with the interesting message of mr Harari. By the way, the question was in fact not very intelligent or interesting
Calling the best of pink floyd "noise" is just immensely ignorant. Besides you are missing the fact of the meaning of it all.
@@EK4B16A2 Ok, to you the discussion was noise interfering with the music
I didn't say that
Vipassana bias
The meaning of life is that life is meaningless, because can’t be expressed with words. Don’t try to beleive this only close your eyes, stop your mind and be with it.
This dude will get what he deserve. Very soon. He has no idea
Which dude and why?
2 Peter 2:3
By covetousness they will exploit you with deceptive words; for a long time their judgment has not been idle, and their destruction does not slumber. Doom of False Teachers
@@Godgotme98 exactly
Not only is it a horrible answer, it's also a cop-out. He just gave us that ridiculous spiel about suffering that his Malthusian Cult is obsessed about. Worthless
The function of our life is to be food for worms (suffering comes from knowing this), the meaning, whatever you decide is your purpose (it only appears with consciousness).
Loool🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Eat the Bugs
Live in the Pods
You will own Nothing & Like IT
What a Goofy Ph.D. He's giving a definition of "hedonism", not a definition of the meaning of life!
