YNH is the Michio Kaku of historians. Everyone believes he is this genius while all he did was make a few academic concepts available to the large public.
THIS is how it SHOULD be...2 people exchanging ideas, concepts, and opinions, listening to each other, and respecting each other. SO nice to see this interview. I have read Sapiens many times because it is a VERY important book. Thanks, Ari and Yuval...this is AWESOME!
Its hilarious seein a clueless boomer discover long form interviews for the first time in december 2023 and from a pretty mediocre interview in MSNBC of all places. There are thousands better discussions than this one, even with Yuval himself. The interviewer here made some really predicatable and shallow questions... Seriously, you gotta get better informed.
@@buzinaocara for the first time? I find it hilarious that someone from any generation would insult a stranger for complimenting a news network for using a long form interview format. Especially when so much “news” lately relies on shock value. Personally I’ve read this book before but don’t own it and would like to. This interview reminded me and I appreciate that. I see you’ve got some growing up to do. I’ll let you get started.
@@mytruecrimelibraryI personally watch Fox News first then CNN and do my best to find the truth in my own mind. Usually it’s somewhere in the middle. If I want to know what the institutionaliz Democratic Party wants me to believe I watch MSNBC. This interview is about as good as their programming gets. But you notice they still push back on his global agenda ideas because he isn’t an institutionalist, at least not one that is led by the Clintons:)
The intense irony of Harrari, like Goldhagen ("Hitler's Willing Executioners") before him is that both authors correctly identified the building blocks of fascism and genocide, but they could never bring themselves to apply those lessons to the actions of Israel. In the end, they are wonderful humanists - humanly flawed with a blindspot.
Ari and Yuval--you've treated us to one of the most insightful, educational, thought-provoking interviews I've listened to, or read, in quite a while. What a treat for the Sapien mind. Thank you both.
Wow! As it pertains to this conversation, I have three words: BRILLIANCE BEYOND BELIEF! I saw Yuval Noah Harari's interview by Ari Melber on MSNBC. I am so glad that I took the time to watch this video and will absolutely watch it again. ❤
Ari- I have had great respect for you and your shows on MSNBC. I watch you frequently and admire how to try and explore deeper into issues. And make the effort to explain , in lay terms, for the rest of us less familiar with a topic. This interview with Mr. Harare, to date, is your crowning effort. I have recently become aware of him and he is on my book buying list. I am impressed at your breathe of questioning and your acumen to get him to speak so eloquently and clearly. I am saving this interview to watch and listen to repeatedly. Thank you. My admiration of your talent just increased exponentially. Thank you.
Glad to see a 'mainstream media' outlet finally embracing the long form, unedited interview with an intelligent, interesting person, talking about their ideas, knowledge, research, etc.
Beautifully done Harari is not only brilliant but communicates with an openness and desire to be helpful that is inspiring-he is a genuine communicator without Ego
This is a wonderful discussion of the social realities around the world. I will read the book being discussed soon but I am already comforted by Mr. Harari’s take on the danger of conservative concepts. Wow! Also, Ari Melber is the single best host in media today! Fairness, honesty, no-spin style. Thank you!
Agree. YNH implicitly supports the genocidal policies of Israel. He is a second rate intellectual but the vastly ignorant and easily led masses believe him to be this towering genius. Ridiculous.
Great job Ari on your broadcast and your knowledge of the law. You break down some complex issues very well for those of us who are not in your profession. Keep up your great work.
Sapiens may be the most important book of our time.. by far my favourite book and a brilliant insight into what it is to be human. Really, everyone should read Sapiens!!
Thank you Ari. A place to stop and think. In the age of endless soundbites.., you've managed to hand-pick extraordinary ideas with Yuval. So needed especially now.
I do love hearing Yuval's point of view as well as his humor. I used to go sit in Anthropology lectures at Sussex University between my own classes in American history and literature. Always a fascinating area of inquiry.
Hold on. Anthropology? The study of human cultures? I associate the word with Empire. The King (Charles III) studied Anthropology (at Edinburgh?). My grandfather used "popular anthropology" encyclopedia of humanity to attempt to recruit me as as a servant of Empire, protector of the peace and of all of these "funny little people." He himself being every inch the virtuous Christian Imperialist despite being a Trade Union shop Steward and Labour :Party Convenor. He was of the WW1 generation but got a desk job in Paris, Royal Navy. Lucky *******.. So who changed the rules? How come Anthropology is being studied at Sussex (liberal institution to end them all permanently critical,. anti-establishment) Me engineer 1981 to 1984 Nat. Geog. Anthropology is the study of the origin and development of human societies and cultures. Culture is the learned behavior of people, including their languages, belief systems, social structures, institutions, and material goods.
Ari , Mr. Harari makes such sence to me . Thankyou for having as a guest on your show . Extricating ourselves from history requires remembering and learning from history . Then learning how to do better for our selves and everyone else .
Thank You, Ari Melber and Yuval Noah Harari. Such a wonderful experience to follow your beautifully intelligent and human conversation. Thank you for this. Sharing for sure! 🙏
Great interview Ari. Your guest is knowledgeable on his subject, does not mock anyone who does not agree with his theories but encourages critical thinking. I wish I could spend an hour or so conversing with him!
As an anthropologist and a historian I see so much of these two disciplines in Harari's work. Love Sapiens and how it draws parallels to oral traditions (stories) within our societies. Thanks, Ari. Always such a great amount of information.
I LOVE that Yuval is a fan of Frans de Waal! I am too. And what a lovely man Yuval is. Even tempered and logical but also kind. The warning about AI is chilling and I hope that world leaders take appropriate actions to prevent a dystopian future where humans are subjected to AI domination.
Poor Ari, trying to make a joke about the D.H. in baseball, and it didn't work at all. I feel you Ari, the pitcher should grab a bat like everyone else. 🗽⚾🗽
One of the Best, this man is incredible, though Ari usually hits them right out of the park, I rather favor the interview he did with that vulgar, seditionist Navarro!
Have read his books numerous times, but wouldn't have guessed that live he elevates his game through such playfulness, wisdom and humility. Great interview.
Fantastic conversation, thank you. Melber is an exemplary host, challenging some things but in a way that opens conversation rather than shutting it down.
Fantastic interview. so refreshing to hear view from outside our cultural biases. I'm going to have to listen to it a couple of times. ri, thank you for introducing me to Mr. Harari.

@@catlady443 There has been much discussion and debate on this issue, apropos not just the tenth but also the seventh. One interesting overview re 7 is in Wiki under "Catholic Church and slavery". Brill has an intellectual expansion re the 10, but there are other sources along the same lines. Bottom line, though, is I am neither religious, nor a scholar in history or philosophy (which I've always found a meandering thought process). But I AM endlessly curious, so found the discussion between Ari and Yuval fascinating.
Yuval Noah Harari is brilliant. I like his clarity of speech and delivery. I've been searching for an intellectual or a thinker who inspires me. Yuval Harari does. I'll definitely watch more of his videos.His interviewer comes prepared for the interview - and he's very handsome!

This is an amazing book and I feel privileged to have had the opportunity to experience Yuval Noah Harari and Ari Melber sharing thoughts, ideas, and even philosophies with each other. I felt some conflicts within as I read this book - and that is a good thing. Paradigms are built to be shifted from time to time! At essence this book opened a worldview to me in a way that was easy to comprehend even as it dealt with the complexity of our history/changes throughout eons. Ari, thank you for bringing us this interview, and Yuval, thank you for your skill at storytelling - one that makes sense, pushes buttons, and generates much food for thought.
Sooo interesting and sooo many complex areas of discussions… I really appreciate this interview … I will pass on to a few scholars in my inner circle. A great interview . Thank you.
I am 80, i worry about my kids and grandkids, nephews, nieces, and friends who will inherit what we left them. This man does speak thoughtfully and rationally. I don’t cane who else is listening. I think he has done a fine analysis, and i think he is worth listening to. He may only open a door, but someone needed to do that. Speak on i say.
The most invaluable insight that I gained by reading Sapiens is that our species not only survived but thrived as a result of our ability to conceptualize, to make abstract concepts snd values real. We actually need and create mythology for our identity. Humans are meaning-making beings. We have a psychological need for a sense of purpose. We give everything all the meaning it has to us. Which means that reality is essentially malleable and based on psychic projection. With such great intelligence , the human being is the greatest of creatures, because our capacity for consciousness. We are also the grossest of animals because of our capacity for consciousness.
Very smart, very wise man, Yuval Noah Harari. I want to read all his books now. Thank you, Ari, for this interview and your very astute questions, too.
He's viewing history through a post-modernist perspective, and initially he was fellating himself, lol. Most of this has been discussed in the 1960's. "Fictions" are just descriptions of "grand narratives" and his examples of "competing truths" is well integrated into modern academia. His analysis seems to originate from Foucault. He has the bald head and glasses, too, lol. Even Ari has to call social structures what they are "social constructs". This isn't to crap on post-modernism, it definitely has a place for analysis, however I don't like the idea that it's an original thought and would prefer he use the proper context and vocabulary while discussing the subject. It makes it come off as disingenuous and plagiarized. At halfway, and he's describing "Post-Modern dialectics" which was borrowed from Marx's "dialectic and historical materialism" by Foucault. The only real value from the interview, which lasted less than a few seconds, came from a description of progress as defined by the French Revolution. Particularly around the idea of "liberals" vs "conservatives", where liberals BECOME conservatives as society advances on social issues and the previous conservatives become reactionaries and try to radically change society back to a previous period and culminates into conspiracy theories and capitalization on culturally engrained narratives. It's a major element of fascism. Likewise, the inability for liberals, now conservatives, are unable to protect the new conservatism because they don't want change, they want to conserve. So, a new left forms calling for change, so the center can't hold without massive reforms. The best part of the interview wasn't even engaged in.
@@peterbills4129 pretty sure the terms "grand narratives", "competing truths", and "social constructs" are easy enough to understand. Over the past 8 years, "narrative" is pretty well established in American political discourse. Dialectics can be explained easily enough, he did it in the interview, they just didn't extrapolate more or what it means for the Democrats and Republicans. Misleading title of the video, lol.
I’ve never heard of Harari before, and I’ve never seen Ari in this mode, and I’m coming to this *late*…but this makes me want to be part of a series of follow-ups with the two of you, I’m getting fresh lines of thought, and have SO MANY questions about the implications This is exceptional; thank you both so much.

Grown up? He can't make up his mind what he believes. Make a decision, then we can talk. Besides he is saying that priests believe their lies. Even if they do. It's still a lie and the people who believe lies as truth should never be taken seriously . What matters is facts. The truth is made of facts. Lies have alternative facts.
This interview is such a valuable one that (at age 80) i can with great pleasure say that Ari Melber is one of the few (maybe the only one, in fact) who could handle and increase the value of such an interview as this. Thank you MSNBC.

Ari, thank you for bringing us this interview, and Yuval, thank you for your skill at storytelling - one that makes sense, pushes buttons, and generates much food for thought.
no human being feels this way.

Enjoy your bug soup, lady.
@@Safe-and-effective - What do you mean by that post?
Sooo interesting and sooo many complex areas of discussions… I really appreciate this interview … I will pass on to a few scholars in my inner circle. A great interview . Thank you.
Thank you Ari, great conversation with Harari!
Bought this book right away. Can't wait to read it!
Thanks to both of you. Please keep up the good way.
I am 80, i worry about my kids and grandkids, nephews, nieces, and friends who will inherit what we left them. This man does speak thoughtfully and rationally. I don’t cane who else is listening. I think he has done a fine analysis, and i think he is worth listening to. He may only open a door, but someone needed to do that. Speak on i say.
So important to share this video. Thank you to Yuval and Ari for an inspiring conversation.
forrest gump would not believe this
Ari is a person on TV!
I totally agree with you. Should be shared all over the world.

What a great conversation. A breath of fresh air.
Thank you so much. We need Harari's ideas when we make voting decisions.
Everyone in the country... nay, the world... should listen to this video!!!🙏
Excellent show gentlemen, absolutely excellent!!! 😊❤
True, especially brainwashed MAGA cult members!
What a satisfying, alarming, and inspiring interview!

The most invaluable insight that I gained by reading Sapiens is that our species not only survived but thrived as a result of our ability to conceptualize, to make abstract concepts snd values real. We actually need and create mythology for our identity. Humans are meaning-making beings. We have a psychological need for a sense of purpose. We give everything all the meaning it has to us. Which means that reality is essentially malleable and based on psychic projection. With such great intelligence , the human being is the greatest of creatures, because our capacity for consciousness. We are also the grossest of animals because of our capacity for consciousness.
Thank you, Ari and Yuval Noah Harari.
What an inspirational conversation. Thank you💙
Like your heart . Calming.
Brilliant interchange! Many thanks to the both of you. We can use much more for the sake of sanity...
Thank you. Listening to this was moving and gave me a breath of fresh air. I needed this with present state of affairs in the country.
Where are you moving?
Oh i see
@@craignelson3965well that attempt at humour fell flat …
@@Linda-z3g3k you could not be more correct.
The effort even had a negative return.
What a brilliant interview Ari❣️
Harari wants us all dead.. are you really this clueless ?
Very smart, very wise man, Yuval Noah Harari. I want to read all his books now. Thank you, Ari, for this interview and your very astute questions, too.
Ari, this guy is amazing! I love how your questions give me pause and make me think. Great interview!
Not thinking enough if you are listening to him
Thinking about what? Thoughts?
He's viewing history through a post-modernist perspective, and initially he was fellating himself, lol.
Most of this has been discussed in the 1960's. "Fictions" are just descriptions of "grand narratives" and his examples of "competing truths" is well integrated into modern academia. His analysis seems to originate from Foucault. He has the bald head and glasses, too, lol.
Even Ari has to call social structures what they are "social constructs".
This isn't to crap on post-modernism, it definitely has a place for analysis, however I don't like the idea that it's an original thought and would prefer he use the proper context and vocabulary while discussing the subject.
It makes it come off as disingenuous and plagiarized.
At halfway, and he's describing "Post-Modern dialectics" which was borrowed from Marx's "dialectic and historical materialism" by Foucault.
The only real value from the interview, which lasted less than a few seconds, came from a description of progress as defined by the French Revolution. Particularly around the idea of "liberals" vs "conservatives", where liberals BECOME conservatives as society advances on social issues and the previous conservatives become reactionaries and try to radically change society back to a previous period and culminates into conspiracy theories and capitalization on culturally engrained narratives. It's a major element of fascism.
Likewise, the inability for liberals, now conservatives, are unable to protect the new conservatism because they don't want change, they want to conserve. So, a new left forms calling for change, so the center can't hold without massive reforms.
The best part of the interview wasn't even engaged in.
@@andrewgreen5574 If he used their vocabulary he'd confuse the average viewer, and they'd tune out.
@@peterbills4129 pretty sure the terms "grand narratives", "competing truths", and "social constructs" are easy enough to understand. Over the past 8 years, "narrative" is pretty well established in American political discourse.
Dialectics can be explained easily enough, he did it in the interview, they just didn't extrapolate more or what it means for the Democrats and Republicans. Misleading title of the video, lol.
I’ve never heard of Harari before, and I’ve never seen Ari in this mode, and I’m coming to this *late*…but this makes me want to be part of a series of follow-ups with the two of you, I’m getting fresh lines of thought, and have SO MANY questions about the implications
This is exceptional; thank you both so much.
ANOTHER HOME RUN BY THE BEST TELEVISION SHOW EVER! THANK YOU ARI! THIS GENTLEMAN WAS A TREMENDOUS STORYTELLER. HE NAVIGATED THE THIN LINE OF SCIENCE AND TELLING THE STORY THAT KEPT ME ON THE EDGE OF MY SEAT DESIRING MORE AND MORE KNOWLEDGE! HIS WAY WITH WORDS AS WELL AS YOURS ARI IS BREATHTAKING. THANK YOU THE ENLIGHTENMENT AND FOR TAKING ALL OF US THAT LISTENED TO THE NEXT LEVEL. SO AI HAS ARRIVED. VERY SCARY.

Sapiens was terrific, it was my vacation read two summers ago. This guy is brilliant.
I'm going to get this book. The interview was amazing.
I have to read this book. 2 years? May find it used.
"it was my vacation read two summers ago"
And you still don't know how to construct a sentence.
@@user-oc1qo5dk4b "read" in this context is a noun, "vacation read" is the colloquial usage of a book you read at the beach, otherwise known as a "beach read" (long e)
Thank you! I love listening to Yuval and wish it had been longer. He did such a beautiful job of expressing his mission statement.
This writer is BRILLIANT !!!!!!!!!! Makes so much sense why humans behave the way we do.
Thanks ARI, you dah man brah….
Very interesting and intriguing interview: much more to learn about the history of our Ancient Civilization and its evolution from then to now!❤❤❤
Thank you for the grown up exchange. Insightful. evocative, rational, and provided for a steady blood pressure throughout, very much appreciated.
Grown up? He can't make up his mind what he believes. Make a decision, then we can talk. Besides he is saying that priests believe their lies. Even if they do. It's still a lie and the people who believe lies as truth should never be taken seriously . What matters is facts. The truth is made of facts. Lies have alternative facts.
This interview is such a valuable one that (at age 80) i can with great pleasure say that Ari Melber is one of the few (maybe the only one, in fact) who could handle and increase the value of such an interview as this. Thank you MSNBC.
Absolutely excellent interview! Thoroughly enjoyed it!
This is a wonderful discussion, Thank you both.
❤
What a fascinating, delightful conversation and what delightful humans brought it. Thank you, Yuval Noah Harari and Ari Melber.
What a fantastic conversation! Intelectually stimulating! Thank you Ari for hosting an interesting guest! Brilliant mind ❤
